Beauty Apps for Your Smartphone
Beauty is subjective. You can look in the mirror one moment and see a beautiful vibrant woman raging with passion and fire and the next see a ragged old woman with a big butt. What has changed? Perspective.
Many things can influence the way a person feels about themselves including the latest trend in technology, the iPhone application. These are handy little programs that can be downloaded for free or for a small fee to you multimedia phone. At first, you might think, “How can cold hard technology know anything about beauty?” In reality, there isn’t an aspect of beauty that hasn’t been explored by the digital revolution.
Haircaster: You can’t throw a stick in the iPhone forest without hitting a weather application. They are all pretty much the same. Date, time, humidity, temperature, etc., but Haircaster uses this information to predict how good of a hair day It will be. If the humidity is high and there’s a good chance going outside will make you look like an extra in a ’70s disco movie, then good hair day percentage goes down. If it’s raining and you’ll end up looking like a drowned rat, then bad hair day.
iStylist: You have a hair appointment in 30 minutes, traffic is a bear and you still don’t know what you want her to do to that massive mop of hair on your head. iStylist will let you take a look different hairstyles and see how they would look. Simply, take a headshot using the iPhone camera and choose from a variety of hairstyles from conservative to wacky. I personally suggest the beehive, it’s both classical and attractive, just…well…watch out for the bees.
Beauty Minder: Are you one of those people that have a million beauty appointments from the hairstylist, the pedicurist, massage therapist, professional mud wrapper, etc. Beauty Minder is an application that will let you keep track of all your appointments and send you reminders to let you know they’re coming up. The app also keeps track of your favorite nail colors and you’ll never forget your next Brazilian wax.
Glade Relaxing Moments Composer: Yes, Glade, the people that makes the smelly stuff for your house. While this may not technically qualify as a beauty app, it’s a must have for any stressed out person needing a spa day and not being able to afford it or take the time out of their day. Draw yourself a bubble bath, but some cucumbers on your eyes and let this app drift you away. You can mix and match sounds to create the perfect atmosphere until the kids come home, the office calls or mom stops by for an unannounced visit.
Lookz – Barry M – Makeup, Beauty, Fashion and Style: This app has everything you need to become Beyonce and Lady Gaga, minus the fame and the fortune. Barry M Cosmetics created an app that has several different types of looks and provides tutorials on how to get it from Clubbing, Goth, Catwalk, Emo, Everyday, Bollywood, and Celebrity inspired Lookz.
So next time you wake up with a hankering for a little gothy goodness, just tap this app and you’re on your way.
I hope these apps will make life a little simpler or at least give you a good chuckle. These are only a handful of apps and you can find many more with a quick search on Google.
