Bringing new meaning to the term “try before you buy” is the kaleidoscope of virtual makeover apps available for smart phones. The idea is genius; particularly when endorsed by specific beauty house collections; it makes shopping for their products so much easier when you know exactly what you are after.

One uploaded makeup-free selfie is all you need and you can experiment with a never ending suite of looks. From altering hair colour to dabbling with a diverse range of foundations, concealers, powders, mascaras, liners and shadows, this is a 21st century approach on road testing a product before purchasing.
We love it because it is more sanitary than meddling with the tester lippy in the shop and you can also try out outrageous looks in the privacy of your bedroom. Just for kicks of course.
Top rated is ModiFace and the absolute beauty of the application is that each makeup component of your newly crafted look is featured so you know what the product is, what shade you are using and even where to buy it. But the very best part? – The app is free to download although if you want to unlock a more varied selection of colour palettes, there is a small fee.
