There’s nothing wrong with being a little high maintenance when it comes to beauty. However, the more complex your beauty routine, the harder it is to stay stylish while out on the town. Solution? There’s a (beauty) app for that.
Read on and find out how to turn your phone into a personal beauty assistant with these handy programs.
Violet Grey
This luxe app, introduced by Cassandra Huysentruyt Grey, Hollywood-wife turned creative consultant, curates the best that beauty has to offer! It’s the perfect solution for the product junkie in your life (whether that be you, your best friend, or your mom).
Each of her app’s features highlights professional-approved beauty, style, and makeup finds, all showcased in glossy editorials. Get the sensation of browsing a street of high-end boutiques without ever having to get out of your pajamas! One of the key features of Violet Grey: the gift sets. They are the PERFECT present for that loved one that has absolutely everything (or for treating yourself).
Cruelty Free Makeup App, GoodGuide
I’ve had this experience more times than I can count; I’m at the drugstore or health food market, and I need to pick up moisturizer, body wash, or another staple. Standing there, scanning the shelves, I don’t have time to google and scan reviews for all the products. Are they really cruelty free/natural/organic? Do they contain irritants? For a die-hard beauty lover, the experience can be exhausting! That’s where GoodGuide comes in!
GoodGuide, a green-conscious product finder assists you on the go! Simply search or scan a UPC and read up on the different categories. The filtering aspect of the app lets you tailor your search quickly and efficiently. And Good Guide rates each product on environmental impact, health, etc.) Never impulse buy a beauty dud again.
Byrdie
Byrdie is a one-stop shop for fun editorials, hair and makeup tutorials, and the like! I’ve learned so many tricks and found so many product staples thanks to the app. Recent favorite features include “Who needs a Valentine? 16 gifts to treat yourself” and “Under $16: Beauty gifts that don’t look cheap.”
With their creative mix of high-end and low-end products, glamorous pictures, and approachable writing style, Byrdie is the perfect “gateway” site for both new and old beauty aficionados.
The Perfect Pocket Mirror

If you’re anything like me, you use your phone camera to check your makeup when there are no mirrors in sight. This mirror-in-a-pinch app capitalizes on the idea, making on-the-go makeup application an even breezier experience. Using facial recognition technology, Smartmirror can zoom in on your eyes and lips, ensuring you don’t smudge your lipstick or apply uneven winged eyeliner. Bonus: the app also doubles as a camera for those times when you look so fly, you MUST take a selfie! In conjunction with a few other facial-recognition apps, you’ll be able to pick out the perfect style for any occasion.
