We’ve rounded up the must-have beauty and health apps that are bound to make you look and feel better in mere minutes. So, clear your storage space and start downloading!
BEAUTY
MODIFACE VIRTUAL MAKEOVER
Not sure if short hair will suit you? Want to find out if you can pull off falsies? Or, are you keen to test a smoky eye without putting on a single swipe of eyeshadow? Enter Modiface – a virtual makeover app that takes the effort out of finding your perfect beauty look. Simply upload a picture, get comfy, and experiment with thousands of foundations, blush and lipstick shades, as well as hair colours.
GLAMAZON
If you often find yourself in desperate need of a last-minute blow-dry, brow wax or spray tan before a date or special event, download this app ASAP. It lists free and cancelled appointments at various hair and beauty salons in Sydney and Melbourne. And if you’re lucky, you might even score a discount. See, being disorganised does pay off sometimes!
BEAUTIFUL ME BY MODIFACE
So now that you’ve worked out how old you really look in photos thanks to How-Old.net (if you missed out on doing this, click here), find out how your skin has aged over the years with the Beautiful Me app. Using your photos, it analyses changes to your facial features, make-up, and hair, and suggests which products will work best for you.
HEALTH
CALORIE COUNTER & DIET TRACKER BY MYFITNESSPAL
Are you serious about weight loss? Do you want to be held accountable for your daily diet and exercise goals? You go girl! Well, this app will make sure you stay on course. Based on your health goals, it tracks your daily calorie intake and exercise and your overall progress over time.
THE MINDFULNESS APP
For twenty minutes a day, this app will help you let the world slip away and find your inner happy place. Perfect for stress relief, the app allows you to choose between different types of guided meditation to relax, reconnect, and tune in to your inner zen. #bliss
SUNSMART
This super savvy app calculates your local areas’ UV level to let you know what time you need sun protection, and when it’s safe to step outside to get a dose of vitamin D. It also features a 7-day weather forecast so you’re never caught without a brolly.
iDRATED
Sure, we all know we should be drinking a ton of water, but do you really know how much H20 you’re actually guzzling? The iDRATED app shows you how much water you should be drinking on the daily based on your age and weight. It also features an easy-to-use function to log your water intake and reminds you when to top up your hydration levels.

This Sunsmart app looks like a very useful one. I love the look of some of the beauty apps but I tried one once and it wasn't able to be put onto my phone? I think I have an android. Not sure - not a techy!

Wow I can't wait to try most of these. Modiface Virtual Makeover sounds amazing, would love to try it to see if I suit certain makeup and hair looks.
I have Myfitnesspal and it is great but you have to use it to get any benefit and to stay on task.
Glamazon sounds amazing for when I am going on last minute dates or parties

I love new apps! They seem to be a bit of a fad with me so not many stick too long

I don't own a mobile, if I did I am sure I would have several of these handy apps.

I definitely want to get the first one. Being able to see how the makeup will look before I even touch my face is amazing!
