What Makes a Beauty App Genuinely Good?
A high star rating doesn't tell the whole story. Two beauty apps can both have 4.6 stars, but one might have 50,000 furious 1-star reviews hidden under the volume of mediocre 5-stars. Our ranking divides negative reviews by total ratings — giving you a true picture of how often users actually have a bad time.
For beauty apps specifically, we filter for at least 1,000 ratings and ★ 4.0+ overall. That weeds out brand-new apps gaming the system with friends-and-family reviews, and surfaces the apps that have stood the test of real users at scale.
