New beauty apps for
iPhones, iPads, Android offer help with everything from picking out the
perfect nail polish shade to finding the right shade of foundation for your
skin. You won’t find a “Beauty” section in the
iTunes app store, so we’ve put together this list of our favorites apps for
you. Color Me Stila by Stila Cosmetics

Why we love it: The Color Me Stila app allows you to upload your own picture and “paint” on different shades of Stila cosmetics just by choosing a color and touching a part of your face. You can even adjust the intensity and gloss of any shade with one click. So fun.

color fanatics. The portable Try-It-On Studio lets you adjust skin tone and nail

hottest OPI shades will look on your own hands. Next time you’re on your way to get a mani, test drive different shades so you can
choose your favorite at the salon in a flash.
