Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Makeup Games at free with in-app purchases against DIY Makeup's subscription. Makeup Games also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 207). DIY Makeup's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and review sentiment (67% vs 39%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Makeup Games sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and DIY Makeup sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
DIY Makeup holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Makeup Games has 2.7K ratings behind it against 207, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 39% of Makeup Games's written reviews are positive against 67% of DIY Makeup's.
Makeup Games ships an update every 3 months, DIY Makeup every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 21, 2026.
