Product Description Do you remember your favorite tube of lipstick from high school? Do you still have that same tube of lipstick today? Should you? Although cosmetic manufacturers are not required to put expiration dates on their products, the FDA warns that cosmetics can degrade and break down over time due to microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi. Exposure to these microorganisms can lead to eye and staph infections. Makeup Mate is here to help. By entering the name of a cosmetic, Makeup Mate will provide you with a expiration date based on industry recommendations. Makeup Mate also gives you the ability to create a reminder in your calendar for when your makeup will expire. Product Features - Determine cosmetic type using cosmetic name - Provide recommended expiration date based on cosmetic type OR Set your on shelf life for the cosmetic if the manufacturer provides one - Select purchase/first use date - Set reminder for cosmetic expiration - Save inventory of your cosmetics in your cosmetic catalog

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Beautyologist at none against Makeup Mate's shown. Beautyologist also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Makeup Mate's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 9 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
