Ulta Beauty: An Android App for Makeup and Skincare Reviews.
The most clever features hiding inside Ulta Beauty are never discovered by users. Most people are aware that makeup is available for purchase, but the true power lies in tools that scan, match and personalize your entire experience before spending a cent.
Secret codes gave us chess power
Craft and create your own unique shopping lists to share with family and friends. Use your phone to scan any product whether you’re in Ulta or your bathroom cabinet and instantly pull up reviews, ingredient breakdowns, and price comparisons with drugstore and prestige beauty brands. It removes the guesswork while you are standing in front of the shelf and wondering if a foundation oxidises or a moisturizer breaks you out. The scanner is compatible with Conscious Beauty filters and can be used to verify Conscious Beauty clean ingredients, vegan, cruelty-free, and sustainable packaging claims in real time. It’s basically a superpower that helps you avoid impulse purchases you will later regret.
Virtual try-on like a professional in GLAMlab.
GLAMlab’s augmented reality engine goes way beyond basic filters. You can test hundreds of lipsticks, eyeshadows, false lashes and nail polishes right on your face, by utilising your camera and fine-tuning the light and angles to see how the colour performs in different settings. The Foundation Shade Matcher uses your phone’s camera to analyze your skin’s tone and undertone and then recommends exact shade matches in multiple brands. Never buy three wrong foundations to get your match! On sunny days, a consistent hand is needed to use these tools, but they’ve prevented returns of mismatched shades. Many products still don’t support virtual try-on yet. Some of the listings don’t have the multiple photo angles you would prefer for the items that are out of AR coverage. Still, the catalog keeps growing.
A skin scan can recommend tailored skincare.
The AI skin analysis tool evaluates your skin with a short scan of your selfie. It will inform you regarding dryness, redness, creases, etc. In a matter of seconds, you’ll receive your own customized routine with product recommendations for your skin and budget. You won’t just get basic oily skin recommendations; you’ll get specific suggestions on the full range of makeup and skincare deals available in app. As you add products to your profile or mark favorites, the recommendations change getting smarter with time and usage. With Conscious Beauty filters you can build a completely clean, vegan or cruelty-free routine without any manual work.
Pay with Venmo, offers & inbox.
With Venmo integration among standard methods, your checkout process speeds up when you see a flash sale. The in-app offer inbox houses beauty coupons and other app-exclusive offers in one feed instead of hunting in email. Through push notifications, we constantly alert you to limited-time offers, bonus point events, and the popular 21 Days of Beauty sale. Your Ultimate Rewards balance, tier status, and activated offers are presented on the home screen for easy redemption of points on products or salon services like a hair treatment, brow sculpting, and more. The app allows you to book makeup applications, skin services, ear piercing and with each service you also earn rewards.

- Notify me when my favorite brand becomes available – just ask.
Some users report that they are stuck in login loops and error pages after updates that block the site until patches are updated. Smooth browsing, virtual try & better booking, recommendation engines are dependent on the internet; offline is non-existent. Some products, which aren’t in the AR ecosystem, don’t have enough photos.
Ulta Beauty promises value and discovery to beauty shoppers with an assortment that combines mass and prestige. Their loyalty programs are so aggressive, no other beauty app, including Sephora’s, compares.
