Mary Kay® Skin Analyzer

Love it. Mary Kay skin analyzer app. It's very useful for my clients, and they love it too. It shows that your skin is dry, oily, combination, etc, wrinkles, puffiness, etc. It can be a little frustrating to line up the cross hairs sometimes in the right spot. Could use a little more guidance with that. Love the usefulness though. Helps clients determine their skin type and which products may be best suited to them.

Nice idea by a reputable company, but in practice the app is a waste of time. The eye alignment is way off, it only comes on when it's on my eyebrows and only for a fraction of a second then. I could be out in the Florida Sun, in the shade, under a canopy, or inside and the lighting will be correct only momentarily. Perhaps if one owns a cell phone camera stand and professional photography lighting equipment they might have a chance at getting all three factors functioning simultaneously.

Couldn't get the "proper lighting" on scan to work. I think it might be because my naked 60 year old skin is medium light and not perfectly even like a 20 yearn old. Probably nice, if it worked. But it doesn't fo anything when it won't scan. I tried more than one lighting source and angles etc. Would be helpful if camera MP requirements were listed. Facial/Eye alignment is really odd, like across my cheeks l unless I tilt my face at an angle to the screen. Very weird.

You have to be in a well lit room to analyze your skin. I was amazed how accurate the analysis was. I like that I can order products through this app. It took a minute for me to figure out that I had to touch each section to see the actual analysis, but was easy to navigate. I just wish I could share my results to Facebook. Otherwise, this app is awesome!

It has to scan a picture of your face. It wouldn't work with my phone's front camera, so I tried holding it backwards and using a mirror to line up my face. I saw the green check marks, and waited a little, thinking it would analyze my face. When I turned my phone around, the green checkmarks disappeared and it didn't work. So you have to have a high resolution front-facing camera on your phone to use this.
