Princess Makeup Salon

The first screen shows a princess waiting at a spa station with a row of treatment bottles along the bottom. You start with the facial, tapping a cleanser, then a mask, then cucumber slices for her eyes. Each product goes on with a little swipe animation, and when the step is done the game moves you to the next station automatically. There is no menu to hunt through, you just follow the table from left to right.

After the spa comes hair, makeup and nails. The hair section has long waves, side braids, buns and a few colored streaks you can layer over a base style. Makeup splits into eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, and a matte or glossy lipstick, each with its own color strip. The nail station lets you pick a polish shade, then add dots, stripes or tiny gems per nail. Jewelry and a small set of accessories sit in their own tab near the end.

The thing that separates this from a plain character creator is the decorating step. Once she is dressed and painted, you arrange the room around her, placing flowers, candles and a vanity setup before the final look gets photographed. The round ends with a snapshot of the princess in her finished space, which you can keep or redo.

Work in the game's order at first, because the spa layer changes how later colors read. Warm eyeshadow tones sit better with gold jewelry than with silver. On nails, one accent nail with a gem reads cleaner than decorating all five. And nudge the lighting in the decorate step brighter before the photo, since dark corners swallow the makeup details.
