With everything completely social-networkable and just a click away, it was inevitable that the beauty market would get just as tech-obsessed as the rest of the world and start holding court via the centre of your universe (i.e. your smartphone).
So we’ve been navigating the online app stores for you, discovering the top apps that should be the next additions to your beauty arsenal – and there’s plenty out there!
To save you the hassle of looking through them all, we’ve listed three of our favourites here…
A tip a day…
The Beauty Tip app reminds us of those desk calendars of quotes that now come in every imaginable category and used to sit on our teachers' desks in school. Now, you can look up the beauty tip of the day with one quick download – or speed through and cheat (like we all did) and read multiple tips in one sitting.

Mirror mirror on the wall
This app does exactly what it says – it turns your mobile phone into a mirror so that you can always look your best. Easy to use with a number of settings to change the exposure and zoom in and out, Mirror HD is simple yet effective. If you’re constantly having to dig around for something in your handbag, you may as well make it have a dual purpose – no longer will you need to fish around for that loose half-broken mirror, now you can simply check your reflection in your phone.
