Users are highly frustrated by the sheer volume of ads, which often appear after every single step or action, disrupting gameplay and making it unrelaxing.R1R5R7R12
Limited Options negative
Many desirable makeup and styling choices are locked behind watching ads or purchasing VIP access, leaving free players with very few and often undesirable options.R4R12R17R27
Enjoyable Gameplay positive
Despite the issues, a significant number of users still find the core gameplay fun, satisfying, relaxing, and even addictive, especially for those interested in makeup and styling.R2R3R8R18

Who it's for

This game is for people who enjoy casual makeup and styling games, especially those looking for a relaxing distraction and who don't mind frequent ads or limited free choices R3. It's also suitable for younger players interested in makeup R50. It is NOT for players who expect the game to match its advertisements, dislike constant interruptions from ads, or want a game with extensive creative freedom and diverse options without paying R4R12R17.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, particularly concerning ads and misleading advertising, which contrasts with the high lifetime rating. The developer's notes mention "Optimize game levels" but do not address the primary complaints about ads or misleading content, and reviews do not indicate any improvement in these areas.

  12. [R7] 3/5 · GB Okay great if you are bored: So this app is amazing and I really enjoy putting makeup on the people and deciding what is best for them. Though ads do come up a lot and do annoy me sometimes. Also the app lies on advertising. You don’t sort out the eyes and do the cleaning ear thing. There is mini games but only a few.
