Monster School: Beach Party

Sunscreen bottles and rolled beach towels replace desks the moment Monster School: Beach Party opens, and the first choice is which monster classmate to dress, each one already wearing a different homeroom uniform underneath. Picking a swimsuit style first changes what shows up later in the makeup tabs, since a bright color scheme calls for eyeshadow that matches instead of fights it.

Swimwear covers a ruffled one-piece, a tie-dye rash guard, and striped board shorts, sorted separately from the accessory row where heart-shaped sunglasses, a flower crown, and a striped beach bag sit. Makeup leans into the setting too, with a shimmer highlighter for wet-look skin, a sunburn-pink blush, and waterproof mascara that stays put over a layered look of sunscreen sheen and glitter.

The part this makeover game leans on that most swimsuit styling games skip is the school setting sitting underneath the beach theme, so a monster's usual uniform colors carry over into which swim pattern looks right on them. A round ends with a group photo, the dressed monster dropped into a beach scene alongside the rest of her class.

The flower crown and sunglasses go on after the hairstyle is picked, not before, so the accessory does not clip through hair that already has a wide silhouette. A pastel swimsuit paired with the shimmer highlighter reads better in the group photo than a bold print paired with heavy mascara, since the beach lighting already adds contrast on its own.
