Beauty -- "There's an app for that!"



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.
