# Makeup＋ vs Beauty Editor

Makeup＋ and Beauty Editor both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 72% of Makeup＋'s written reviews are positive against 29% of Beauty Editor's. Makeup＋ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). Beauty Editor's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (15K vs 733). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Makeup＋ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Beauty Editor sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Beauty Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beauty Editor has 15K ratings behind it against 733, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Makeup＋'s written reviews are positive against 29% of Beauty Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Makeup＋ ships an update every 3 months, Beauty Editor fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
