ShadeScout Finds Any Makeup Shade You Want and Lets You Try It On
iOS / Android: Makeup is no easy task. The shade of foundation, lipstick, or eyeshadow can have a huge impact on your look, and you may not know which colors are right for you. ShadeScout lets you play with different shades and try them on.
The application allows you to create color swatches using your camera; just hover and shoot and ShadeScout will search for similar colors that you can buy from the store. But you can also try on these colors in real time, be it lipstick, gloss, eyeshadow, blush, bronzer, or foundation. The app refers to your front camera and then applies color to the corresponding part of your face.
For example, if you want to test the shade of a lipstick, just “examine” the color by pointing the camera at something in your environment – perhaps you want a shade that matches your red shoes. (You can also simply find standard shades using their color picker.) The app will populate a list of lipsticks that are similar in color. From there click Try on and you will see your filled lip mug and you can experiment with different shades. Whether you smile or move your face, the lips move with you, so you can get a pretty accurate idea of what this lipstick will look like.
It’s a pretty fun tool to play with if you like makeup, and especially useful if you’re unsure of where to start in order to pick the right color. See for yourself using the link below.
