Princess Beauty Makeup Salon

First, the skin: a princess with a plain face and flat hair sits down in the chair, and a cleanser or mask wipes away blemishes before makeup even opens as an option. Princess Beauty Makeup Salon treats that first step like a chore to clear out of the way, not a puzzle, so the fun starts once foundation and blush are on the table.

The salon runs in stations: a face wash and mask stage, a makeup station with foundation, blush, eyeshadow, and a matte or glossy lipstick, a hair chair with braids, curls, and updos, and a nail bar with polish colors and small gems. Makeup layers the way it would on a real face, blush under eyeshadow, lipstick last, and hair styles swap out completely instead of stacking on each other.

A typical beauty and spa game dumps every tool onto one screen, but this one moves the princess through numbered stations in order, skin, makeup, hair, then nails. The round closes with a dressing stage, a gown and crown pulled from a princess wardrobe, and a final portrait of the finished look.

Work the stations in order, since a hair style picked before the skin stage can end up hidden under a face mask overlay. Match lipstick shade to the eyeshadow instead of picking the brightest of each, a soft pink lip reads better against smoky eyes than a red one does. Try the nail bar last, gems and glitter show up more clearly against a hand already posed for the final shot.
