Questions

Who is it for?

Independent cosmetics shops, salons and nail bars with retail stock, and make-up artists who keep a kit. It works just as well for a small online beauty shop.

How accurate are the shade colours?

You enter the hex code from the brand, a colour picker or the built-in presets. Screens show colours differently, so swatches are approximations of the real products; the app says so on the screen and in the PDFs.

Does it remind me about expiry dates?

Expired and soon-to-expire batches, due stock checks and products to reorder are listed in the Checks tab and counted on its badge. The app sends no notifications.

Can I keep notes about my clients?

Only anonymous ones: describe a type of customer, such as “cool undertone, sensitive skin”. The app refuses to save text that looks like a name with a title, an e-mail address, a phone number, a postcode or a social media handle.

What does it cost?

Nothing. All features are free, with no adverts and no purchases inside the app.

Can I move my data to a new phone?

Yes: make a backup file in Export and backup, send or save it, and restore it on the new phone.
