ScreenShot from http://modiface.com/
Have you ever thought that you would like to try the makeup product before buying it? There is two apps in the market which will give you possibility to try makeup product before buying them; Modiface and Makeup Genius from L'Oreal. Even if these apps wouldn't be the most accurate, it is a lot of fun to try different makeups on yourself without applying them for real!
Modiface is a great fun! You need to take a picture of yourself or use one of the models and then just start applying makeup! You can use from wide range of colours and each selection such as "eyes" include eye shadows, eyeliner, mascara and eye brows. It is a lot of fun and I would suggest anyone who is little bit lost about what tones suits your skin tone and your hair best to try this and see what actually suits you!


Modiface website states: ModiFace apps feature the world's most advanced virtual makeover technology with industry leading facial recognition.

Technology Tuesday - Ioma Youth Booster - Nasa meets Cosmetics

Screenshot from http://www.ioma-paris.com/en/ website
I decided to start new column for the blog called Technology Tuesday where I will be talking about new break throughs in cosmetic industry and how technology has come into the cosmetic markets for sure.

Today I will be introducing IOMA Youth Booster, which uses the same technology as NASA used when it explored Mars; MEMS micro-sensors. In the Ioma Youth Booster the micro-sensors evaluates the hydration levels in your skin while NASA used it as measuring the gases in the atmosphere in Mars. 




So what the product actually does? It tells you how dehydrated your skin is and how often you should use the skin hydrating miracle. Even if the technology is pretty high-tech I'm not too excited about the product - it just seem to be expensive face cream with technology.

What do you think about the product? Cosmetic industry break through or a flop?
