# Makeup Artist vs Makeover Date

The clearest difference is rating: Makeup Artist at 4.6 against Makeover Date's 3.4. Makeup Artist also leads on ratings volume (129K vs 33) and review sentiment (57% vs 32%). Makeover Date's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Makeup Artist sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Makeover Date sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Makeup Artist holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Makeup Artist has 129K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of Makeup Artist's written reviews are positive against 32% of Makeover Date's.

Makeup Artist ships an update every 2 weeks, Makeover Date every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
