Base, shadow, lips, and a mirror that never argues back.
How this list is put together
What separates makeup from the dress-up games next door is the verb. Dressing up is combining: the garments already exist and the game is a series of choices between finished things. Makeup is applying: the same face, and you are putting layers on it in an order that matters, where the brush goes where you drag it and the result is something that did not exist before you made it.
That is a small difference on paper and a large one to play. Choosing is fast and makes a gallery; doing is slow and makes a thing. It is also why the two genres share an audience almost completely: whoever arrives for one usually stays for the other.
Almost none of these has a score, and none has a way to lose. You finish when you like the result, and the game takes a photograph of it. That places them in the same family as colouring and salon games — things you play until you are satisfied rather than until you win — which is a bigger share of what people actually play than the industry likes to admit.

How is this different from dress-up games?
Dressing up is about combining clothes that already exist; makeup is about applying layers onto the same face. One is choosing, the other is doing. They resemble each other just enough that whoever comes for one stays for the other.
Is there anything to win?
Not in the usual sense. Almost none has a score or a failure state — you finish when you like the result, and that is the entire victory condition on offer.
Are they for girls?
They are clearly aimed at a young audience and filed that way by the distributors, but there is nothing in them that stops anybody playing. They ask for no age, no account and no data.
