Absolute terrible

This app is terrible for people with different skin tones, made me look anime which was nothing like the reference. I would never download this app again -♾️/5

Sucks

You have to pay to do a lot and it makes it look so bad on your skin in the pictures. It’s not worth it at all

Ads Scam & Spam

Make it possible to use your app or I will report to Apple, so many bad practices, don’t risk your account

Termination

Canceled my subscription
It never canceled and charged me three times I simply just want my money back

Total waste of time

No free functionality

Wanted to like it

I tried several apps before this one, only to be disappointed with the level of information, guidance, and basic functionality of the tools. GlowUp seemed promising based on the initial UI and advertised features, and I was excited to see a “no makeup” look in the aesthetic options! I’m 48 years old and have never learned how to do/use makeup because I’ve never needed or wanted to. Even those of us with youthful genes and good skin age, though, and I’m increasingly aware of how makeup might help me be more confident. However, I have NO IDEA how to even shop for appropriate makeup, much less apply it in a way that seems true to me.
Apps (any products) that don’t allow users to see what they’re actually purchasing before committing are frustrating and not worth the risk or my investment. Because GlowUp actually asked some important foundational questions that other apps didn’t, I thought I might have found a helpful solution. However, after selecting a preferred “look” and waiting for AI to “customize my routine/products/look,” I was met by the paywall. I have absolutely no objection to paying for an app, but NOT BEFORE I can determine whether it’s useful to me. What kind of instruction does it provide - video? Writing? Explanations about why to do something in a certain way? Tips on HOW to choose colors based on skin tone, seasons, outfits, etc?

Lost a potential customer and rave reviewer because I couldn’t see what you’re actually offering. I think I’ve decided to just go old-school and ask a friend.

Glow up - Makeup & Beauty

It does wonders

I’m 7 not 10.

I want to use it now!!!!!

Useless

You can't even see if it works unless you subscribe. Why would I pay for something before I know if it works? These good reviews must be fake.

Must pay to even use it.

Has you do an entire quiz, take a photo, and rate the app before you even realize you can’t use it without paying. Wasteful download.

Doesn’t even work

Not sure if it has a slow start up time but after getting to the 4th screen it just stops working. Terrible app

Step by step routine

Honestly, when it talked about step-by-step routine, I was expecting more. Like diagrams on how to apply the eyeshadow and contouring. All it does is a very bulky write up step-by-step.

Don’t waste your time

At least give 1 make up look before asking for MONEY!

Free to download, not a free app!

‼️paying for ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‼️

Saw this on TikTok and I thought this would be great, I thought it would be a free app since that’s what was stated. I assumed there would be ads to watch to see certain make up looks on myself. It is ‼️$9.99 weekly ‼️ just use filters on instagram, Snapchat, etc. cause it’s just filters over photos. It does say they recommend make up products to use but I’m not willing to pay to know if it will recommend good products.

4.5 bc they ask for review before letting you use the app

Misleading, saw adds all over cool, let’s try it, immediatly asks for a review… I’ll pass, and thank goodness I did bc I can’t even try this app without agreeing to pay $9.99 a WEEK! For what? Are they doing my makeup in real life will this app make me look diff? Crazy work

Lie. Can even try once without ridiculous fake buying .

A scam

Do not get this scam

I made the mistake of purchasing this horrible app. I canceled within the hour of the purchase because it’s so ridiculous. I’ve emailed them and they are so ridiculously dumb or just playing dumb . They keep saying my account is still active. I attached a picture showing it’s cancelled , and they refuse to acknowledge it.
Disputing with my credit card and reporting to the BBB. Do not buy this!

Another scammy beauty app

Just bombards you with questions, then crashes while trying to load as much spam as possible. Awful.

Scammers!

I didn’t agree to anything for this and they still took money from my account!! Don’t download this app!
