2. Hairstyle Magic Mirror Change Your Look Lite
A recent reviewer wrote, “One of the BEST beauty apps ever! Every day, I’m looking at and learning something new!!! LOVE IT!!” Well, I was sold just by the amount of exclamation marks she used in her review! This app brings together the best of the best online beauty videos and organizes them into specific beauty topic categories like makeup, hair, nails, etc. You can favorite the best videos and interact with others by commenting and sharing the videos via email or on popular social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. So if you’re wanting to know how to achieve flawless skin or mimic the look of your fav celebrity, there’s now an app for that!
This isn’t an app like Hairstyle Magic where you experiment with different looks. This app actually teaches you HOW TO STYLE hair. I’ve really posted this for you, not me. My knees start to shake when I even attempt to put a pony in my little girl’s hair. I can style my own hair (kind of) and that’s about it. Alright, I posted this for me too. I’m going to have to learn. Frown face. Here you’ll be provided easy-to-follow instructions on how to create beautiful hairstyles at home. Learn new blow dry techniques, quick and easy upstyles and more.
Look and feel more beautiful every day? Where do I sign up? This app is the destination for beauty advice and encompasses the full gamut of topics: celebrity beauty trends, answers to personal hygiene (hmmm. . .ever have that not so fresh feeling?) and 500+ beauty tips to help you turn heads and attract whistles and honks. This is your go-to resource for step-by-step makeup advice, instant manicures and hairstyle inspiration. For other beauty tip and makeup tutorial apps, download Beautylish and Beauty Secrets & Tips.
Now if the Style Your Hair app wasn’t for me, this one certainly isn’t. The only polish I attempt on my fingernails is clear. I do get pedicures, don’t get me wrong, but any time I’ve ever tried to do anything with my fingernails it just hasn’t lasted. Regardless, this app is all about nail art, supposedly the hottest thing ever right now. Not only can you decorate your nails like never before, you can also try on rings (now THAT, is more up my alley), unlock patterns, stickers, rhinestones and more with this polish-crazed app. And for all of you OPI fans out there, here’s another free app for you to enjoy!
7. Beauty Booth by JellyBus, Inc.

Beauty Booth is a photo app that brings life to your eyes, bronze to your skin and removes acne, freckles and probably wrinkles too. And if the picture still isn’t worth a thousand words, they let you add those too. Play around with speech bubbles and 30+ borders. Unleash your creativity to unlock the true beauty in YOU! For other highly-rated photo-editing apps try Perfect365 and Pic Beauty.

Now this is an app I’m going to love for summer days up north at the cabin. Everyone in my family has fair skin and we’re all susceptible to sunburns especially when we’re having fun splashing around in the lake. This UV Index viewer shows you the current UV index for your, or any other, location in the world and will tell you what level of protection you need. Even if the temperature outside may be cool or the skies, cloudy, it’s not necessarily representative of the UV index. So download this app now to protect yourself and the ones you love!
What good would this list be without a little more shopping? Beauty is also fashion.

Organize your favorite looks into personal collections on the app and follow the people flaunting the styles you love.
