Beauty apps are the next big thing in the beauty industry, where customers are spoilt for choice when it comes to finding convenient and personalised beauty options without spending an exorbitant amount of money. Get ready to primp and preen yourself for the big day with these five promising apps free on iTunes and Google Play -- ideal for both brides and grooms!
Vanitee
Vanitee is a Singapore-based app offering customers the perfect beauty experience with local independent artists. If you are not fond of large beauty salons, Vanitee connects each customer directly to professionals who have been verified by the team. Our favourite thing about Vanitee is the housecall option for some services. If you so wish, you can have that same manicure or haircut without ever leaving your home. With quality and convenience packaged all into one app, you never have to worry about a bad beauty experience again.
Vaniday
We are impressed by the details which have gone into expanding the types of services under each beauty category for this app — if you are looking for specific salon services, such as 'manicure for men', 'permanent makeup' or 'Japanese straightening', Vaniday is an incredibly helpful app to use. Similar to Vanitee, Vaniday also filters your choices according to price and location, including a helpful tag to note for special offers. For brides-to-be especially, Vaniday's bridal categories help to direct your search for those who can ensure you look like a queen on your special day without any fuss.
Vice Lipstick
Urban Decay's new Vice Lipstick app lets you try a whopping 100 shades of lipstick without stepping into a store. With so many choices, there is definitely that one shade which matches you flawlessly. Or if you are unsure about trying a wild shade like metallic blue or forest green, this app can help solve your dilemma. To use Vice Lipstick, upload a selfie from your camera album or take one on the spot to begin trying those lipstick colours! After virtually putting on all 100 shades, you can save your preferred colours and even share it with your friends, so they can vote for which one suits you best.
Spabbly
We love Spabbly's collection of spas for those looking to pamper themselves — with curated spas across Asia, this app will help you find the perfect venue for a relaxing spa day. If you decide to go overseas on a spa-cation, Spabbly will not only arrange the appointment for you, but provide directions so you can get there on time. Filtered by spa themes such as luxury or boutique, there is a unique spa experience for every guest across multiple destinations in Asia.
MakeupPlus
This app is at the top of many users' beauty app lists, and we totally agree! From the same people who brought you Mei Tu Xiu Xiu (which was already impressive when it came to realistic photo editing), MakeupPlus not only gives you the perfect edited selfie, but also allows you to discover new makeup looks. Have a favourite celebrity or make-up artist? MakeupPlus has all the tools for you to make those trendy looks your own. Gone are the days you find suitable products based on costly trial and error, and if you cannot buy the products shown on the app, you can always upload selfies with those added natural edits.
