Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: GlowAI at 5.0 against Makeup+'s 4.5. GlowAI also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). Makeup+'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (733 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Makeup+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and GlowAI sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
