Verdict
Makeup＋ and Facey both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 72% of Makeup＋'s written reviews are positive against 35% of Facey's. Makeup＋ also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 16.0). Facey's advantage is ratings volume (24K vs 733). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
