The Lipstick Design Studio app by [ModiFace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sephora-chatbot) is designed to help women find the perfect lipstick color, texture and sheen. After uploading a picture, the app has a simple three-step process where users can adjust a series of sliders to determine the optimal amount of pigment, gloss, matte or creaminess. Although simple, the lipsticks that can be created with these three steps alone is endless.

Users are then able to save their completely custom colors and color-match them to real products by cosmetic companies like Make Up For Ever, Inglot, Jan Iredale and Stila.

In addition to the Lipstick Design Studio, ModiFace has a number of other [virtual makeover apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-bestie-20) for hair and makeup that are free to download through iTunes.
