A makeup studio isn’t always a room with ring lights and a chair. Sometimes it’s just you, an idea, and a few minutes to capture it before it fades. This app is that studio, a fashion sketchbook that fits in your pocket, built for makeup artists and creative minds who think in color, texture, and shape. It gives you space to map out a full-face concept, sketch a bold lip detail, or test any look that crosses your mind. No brushes to clean, no product wasted, just a digital canvas that treats every creation like a page in your evolving artist's journal. CHARACTERISTICS: - Start with a blank face chart — the same canvas makeup artists have used for decades to sketch, test, and create perfect looks before they ever touch skin. - Sketch and draw with your fingertip like you would in a paper sketchbook — but this one travels with you everywhere. - Everything a makeup artist reaches for is here: base, shadow, sculpt, flush, liner, lip — the full makeup studio shelf in digital form. - Choose colors that match the moment — curated palettes inspired by runway looks, street style, and seasonal shifts. - Dial in your brush exactly how you like it — size and intensity respond to your touch, from whisper-light washes to bold, graphic strokes. - Clean up like you would backstage — precise swabs for tiny fixes, broad wipes for fresh starts. - Your work stays with you, always — every look lands in your personal gallery, building a portfolio that reflects your evolution as an artist. FEATURES: - Design your own face charts and test advanced techniques — the way every makeup artist works before the real application. - A single brush does it all: color, blend, shade, and sculpt every detail, from lip lines to fashion illustrations. - The results feel so real, it's like working on a studio sketchpad in the heart of a beauty salon — minus the model, the clock, and the cleanup. This sketchbook is built for anyone who thinks in shades and textures — for artists at heart, whether you're just starting to build your kit or already working backstage and in beauty salons. It's a place to follow trends, break rules, and document every step of your creative path. Sketch, experiment, and let your portfolio grow into something that truly reflects your voice — because every great makeup artist knows that the real craft happens long before the first brush touches skin. A subscription is required to unlock the full face chart constructor, complete collection of templates, AI makeup generation, and all themed color collections. The free version includes basic tools with limited access to these features. https://aheadco.solutions/terms-of-use.html https://aheadco.solutions/privacy-policy.html
