Transform Your Apple Devices Into a Beauty Salon With These Fun Apps

You may already use your Apple device’s built-in camera as a mirror, but did you know that there are a number of beauty apps that will take your on-the-go primping to the next level? These great apps for makeup mavens and hair pros will help you to give yourself a makeover with the help of your iPhone.

Makeup Genius
This colorful app from beloved makeup brand L’Oreal enables users to upload a photo of their face and then try out different makeup looks. If you’ve always wanted to try a dramatic cat eye or a bold red lip, using this app is a noncommittal way to see if the look works for you.

Hair Color
Dyeing your hair a different color is a fairly permanent commitment, but with the Hair Color app you can try out all of the hair colors that you want–without the actual dye! Simply upload a photo of yourself to the app and use the color tools to change your hair to a completely different shade.

Mirror
Whether you need to touch up your makeup or you want to take a selfie of your new ‘do, the Mirror app helps you to take flattering photos or check yourself out in a digital mirror.

Learn Something New With These Helpful Websites

Most of us spend at least a few hours a day checking Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and other websites that are known to be "time wasters." Why not balance those social media updates with websites that actually put your time to good use and help you learn something? Here are five of our favorites:

Instructables
Do you see DIY projects on sites like Pinterest and wonder how you can make them yourself? Stop pinning those projects and start making them using the helpful instructions on instructables.com.

Coursera
Colleges all around the country are offering free courses on topics from playing guitar and nutrition to physics. Each class is taught over a couple of weeks via videos and webcasts, and courses involve different amounts of work. Sign up for as many as you want and start learning.

TED Talks
TED is not actually a person named Ted. The acronym stands for technology, entertainment, and design. Watch these thought-provoking videos on all types of topics, like the digital age, violence, and marketing.

Goodreads
Find your next favorite book on Goodreads. Keep a running list of all the books you've read, and the website will recommend books you may like based on past selections. You can also connect with friends to see what they're reading.
