About

The MakeupAlley community was launched in 1999 as a small group of devoted beauty consumers. Since then it has evolved into a larger beauty social network and information portal for beauty, skincare and lifestyle.

MakeupAlley has a large, comprehensive product review section which includes product photos, ratings and ranking. As of Summer 2015, there are more than 2.5 million reviews of 150,000 beauty and skincare products written by beauty enthusiasts worldwide.

Makeupalley has many message boards for discussions on the topics of makeup, bath and body, skincare, fragrance, hair, fitness, nails, FOTD, and cosmetic procedures.

Recently, an app was launched and is available for iOS, Android and Windows devices. The iOS version of the app offers barcode scanning to get instant reviews on the go.

Not very good

The app is nothing like the website. It doesn't seem to be calling the same database as the web version which is annoying. I was hoping that I could check reviews on the go but it turns out not all reviews are available here. Example: the new stick foundation by Anastasia of Beverly Hills. There are lots of reviews on the web version but none in the app. Please improve this.

Easy to use and useful

After spending some time on the website, I downloaded the app and I like it. Search is quick and it is easy to find info you need about the products. Looking forward to the features that are on the site but not in the app yet.

Love the latest version!

Quick access to the latest reviews posted. I could spend hours on this app!

Ads are annoying

As a longtime user of the Makeupalley website, I loved when they came out with an app. I love being able to look up reviews easily when I'm at a store. What I don't love is the ads lately. They used to just be a banner at the bottom of the app...now there are freaking pop-up videos. If I'm in a store or even somewhere that needs to be quiet, these ads come with no warning and are embarrassing. Maybe make a paid version without ads? Also, this app has been freezing a lot lately.

Great idea!

Very easy to use and find the products so you can read multiple reviews from people before you buy the item. Only slight negative is the option to scan the barcode for the product doesn't work properly. I tried more than one product close to the photo box on the screen and pulled back but it won't focus in clearly. Other apps I have scan barcodes without problems. That feature being fixed would make it even quicker to look up items while my husband is "patiently" waiting for me to decide lol.

Bugged again 😩

Results are once again jerky, scrolling doesn't work and then it catches up and scrolls two thirds down instead of one page. This was fixed in the last update.

Launch Services
macOS Launch Services is an API that enables a running app to open other apps or their document files, similar to the Finder or the Dock.Launch Services eliminates apps having to query the Finder to open an app, document, or URL for them. The macOS Finder itself uses Launch Services to perform such tasks. Because the Finder performs no additional processing beyond calling Launch Services, any client using Launch Services for these purposes behaves identically to the Finder.
AVFoundation
The AV Foundation framework provides an Objective-C interface for managing and playing audio-visual media in iOS and OS X applications.
Core Foundation Framework
Core Foundation is a framework that provides fundamental software services useful to application services, application environments, and to applications themselves. Core Foundation also provides abstractions for common data types, facilitates internationalization with Unicode string storage, and offers a suite of utilities such as plug-in support, XML property lists, URL resource access, and preferences.
Core Graphics
The Core Graphics framework is based on the Quartz advanced drawing engine. It provides low-level, lightweight 2D rendering with unmatched output fidelity. You use this framework to handle path-based drawing, transformations, color management, offscreen rendering, patterns, gradients and shadings, image data management, image creation, and image masking, as well as PDF document creation, display, and parsing.
Core Location Framework
The Core Location framework lets you determine the current location or heading associated with a device. The framework uses the available hardware to determine the user’s position and heading. You use the classes and protocols in this framework to configure and schedule the delivery of location and heading events. You can also use it to define geographic regions and monitor when the user crosses the boundaries of those regions. In iOS, you can also define a region around a Bluetooth beacon.
Foundation Framework
The Foundation framework provides a base layer of functionality for apps and frameworks, including data storage and persistence, text processing, date and time calculations, sorting and filtering, and networking. The classes, protocols, and data types defined by Foundation are used throughout the macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS SDKs.
MobileCoreServices
Use uniform type identifier (UTI) information to create and manipulate data that can be exchanged between your app and other apps and services using MobileCoreServices.
Quartz Core Framework
Allow users to browse, edit, and save images, using slideshows and Core Image filters.The Quartz Composer API supports processing and rendering graphical data and allows developers to create custom patches for the Quartz Composer developer tool. ImageKit provides user interface support for browsing, editing, and saving images, showing slideshows, and browsing and previewing Core Image filters. PDFKit is a technology that allows applications to display and manipulate PDF documents.
System Configuration F...
This collection of documents describes the programming interfaces of the System Configuration framework. The System Configuration framework provides functions that determine the reachability of target hosts in both a synchronous and an asynchronous manner. It also provides error detection facilities.
UIKit
The UIKit framework (UIKit.framework) provides the crucial infrastructure needed to construct and manage iOS apps. This framework provides the window and view architecture needed to manage an app’s user interface, the event handling infrastructure needed to respond to user input, and the app model needed to drive the main run loop and interact with the system.
