CEBU, Philippines - Want to look your best on your Valentines date? Sure you do.
Here are beauty apps to help you.
Color Genius by L’Oréal
Available in versions for Android and iOS
For ladies with a penchant for color coordinating their outfits with their makeup, L’Oréal’s “Color Genius” is a useful app to have.
Made to help users visualize which makeup color best matches with an outfit, the app can be used to take photos of their clothes – then pick from a selection of color palettes the shade or hue that best completes the look they want.
As bonus, the app also hosts shopping links to the products that it features – making it more than a basic wardrobe-makeup coordinating app, but an intuitive makeup shopping portal as well.
Hair Color by ModiFace
Available in versions for Android and iOS
Those wondering how they would look as a blonde or a redhead will find Modiface’s “Hair Color” app helpful – precluding embarrassing “disasters” from experimenting with hair colors.
With the app, smart device owners can readily take a profile photo of themselves, then utilize its “automatic hair detection” features in applying different colors – producing a virtual mockup of how the person would look in different hair colors.
The app does not render virtual mockups of how one would look in a particular hairstyle, though, yet it does a good job in helping its users “experiment” – with no risks or anything to lose whatsoever.
Make-Up Tutorials by Simona
Available in versions for Android and iOS
This beauty app comes in two versions – one gives tutorials on five trendy makeups, and the other shares tutorials on the best makeup base, a “Five-Minute Make-Up” section, a “Cat Eye Make-Up” section, and more.
With step-by-step guides and instructional videos, the app is quite easy to use, with its tutorials based on the expertise of professional makeup artist Simona Antonovic – who does editorials for various beauty and lifestyle magazines.
With this app, ladies learn to achieve the “Nude Look,” the “Bronze Look” or the “Smokey Eyes” look, among others, and look their best on any occasion – on tomorrow’s romantic date especially. (FREEMAN)
