About MakeupIdea

There are now hundreds of AI beauty apps and brand tools, and most lists of them are long, loosely sorted and full of marketing claims. MakeupIdea is a shorter list sorted by job and written plainly, with the questions to ask before you point a camera at your face or hand customer photos to a vendor.

The site is for shoppers who want to try before they buy and for small beauty brands that don't have time to test every new tool. We describe what each tool does, note privacy, color accuracy and claims points that matter in beauty, and link to the official site so you can check plans and prices yourself.

We don't run tests or publish rankings, and nobody can pay to change a description. Makers can pay for a labeled featured placement, which keeps the site running. If you spot a listing that is out of date, or a tool that should be here, the contact page reaches us directly.

Every listing starts from the tool's own website. We confirm it is live and does the job the listing describes, then write a short description in our own words and place it in one category. We don't copy marketing text, and we don't publish scores, rankings or prices.

Some tools carry a longer write-up that explains how people use them and what to check before signing up. We leave out apps that make medical claims, and tools we can't confirm stay off the site until we can. If a tool changes or closes, we update or remove the listing at the next rebuild.
