Are you a beauty addict who needs a daily does of makeup on-the-go? Overwhelmed when you enter Sephora, because you never really know which lipstick shade to choose from? 

Like most of the world, my phone stays glued to my right hand at all times. Before showering and before walking out of the door for work I need apps that save me time and catch my attention. The days of Candy Crush filling my attention span for more than thirty minutes are over so I decided to give the Google Play Store some action by downloading some great beauty apps.

Along with most women on the go, I want to find the perfect shade of lipstick in a flash without smearing a million colors on my lips all at once! Thanks to modern day technology and tech savvy app creators, I can finally do this all in the comfort of my palm! When you know what you want and how you want your makeup to look, stopping into a Sephora for the new Yves Saint Laurent holiday lipstick will be easier than you thought! 

Here’s ten of the best beauty apps ever that will make you look fierce this holiday season!

Mary Kay Virtual Makeover

1. Mary Kay Virtual Makeover: This interactive app provides a virtual makeover for you right in the palm of your hands! If you are addicted to foundation, lipstick, blush and other amazing beauty products, this Mary Kay app allows you to have makeup fun while on-the-go! This will be my go-to app for my holiday makeup inspiration. I can instantly try on looks with just the sweep of one finger.

Beautylish

2. Beautylish: Whether you are looking for tutorials for a super smoky eye, or the famous Kim Kardashian contour, Beautylish is your one-stop-app! Not only can you watch videos and fill your online cart with beauty products from product lines like Urban Decay and EOS, but Beautylish is a vast community where you can review products and chat with other beauty addicts. This app is all about being beauty efficient without the guesswork!

Makeup Guru

3. Makeup Guru: From celebrity photos to tutorial videos, this app allows you to take the latest beauty trends into your own hands! Makeup Guru takes celebrity makeup and creates user friendly tutorials that girls like you, and I, can use for any everyday or special occasion look. You can feel comfortable teaching yourself how to do a cat eye in the comfort of your own home!

Pretty in my Pocket (PRIMP)

4. PRIMP: Have you ever thought of creating a Pinterest spin-off exclusively made for beauty addicts alike? Well Pretty In My Pocket has solved this beauty dilemma, in which you can browse useful DIYs on how to highlight or how to correctly apply foundation. PRIMP also allows you to find stores where your favorite beauty brands are being sold. Now if that isn’t customer savvy, then what is?

GoodGuide

5. GoodGuide: Have you ever wondered if that drug store nail polish you purchased was “3 free”, or if your hairspray was carcinogen-free? No fear, the GoodGuide app is here! This app allows you to scan barcodes and search for products you are curious about. For my Vegan-friendly and organic beauties, this app will help you filter out products that work perfect for your beauty and skincare routines.

Spa Finder

6. Spa Finder: Just like the name entails, simply use this app to find spas for a pamper day for you and your girls! You can use this GPS enabled app to find your local massage envy or any independently owned spas for a relaxing day of manis, pedis, and of course massages! More efficient than a Google search, Spa Finder allows you to track down the best spas all in the matter of a quick location search.

Nail Art

7. Nail Art: With elaborate nail designs taking center stage this holiday season, Nail Art allows you to look up artistic inspiration for your next manicure that you can show your nail tech or that you can DIY all while watching your ratchet reality TV shows. Not only can you stay on trend with nail creations, you can also feel confident sporting your own custom manicures! Dare to be different and paint those nails!

China Glaze

8. China Glaze: Virtually try on China Glaze’s exclusive polish collections with this app! Not only can you try on amazing polish shades and textures, you can also upload (or take) photos of your outfit of the days to match polishes from the collections. I especially love this app because nail polish remover is no where in sight!

Lipstick Guru

9. Lipstick Gure: Lipstick gurus unite! This app is chock full of tutorials and inspirational photos for lipstick looks that are easily accessible to you and your girlfriends. Lipstick Guru allows you to read reviews on new lipstick collections and learn how to highlight your cupid’s bow!

ModiFace

10. ModiFace: ModiFace is a virtual makeover app that is packed with popular makeup brands like Stila and so many more of your favorites. Not only can you apply smooth coats of foundation on this app, but for an additional fee you can unlock the celebrity hairstyles to try on your virtual model. Hair, makeup and beauty all in one cool app–now that’s what I call tech savvy!

So there’s my favorites! What apps are you swooning over? Chime in via the comments below!
