Almost 2 years ago, I reviewed L’Oreal Makeup Genius, a virtual reality app that lets you virtually apply makeup styles to try them out.

At the time, I thought the app was wonderful and quite realistic. But boy have things changed.

With the popularity of Pokemon Go and a new interest in virtual reality, I thought I’d revisit the concept of virtual reality apps that immediate transform your surroundings. YouCam is a great example of an app that effortlessly achieves this.

Even if you don’t wear makeup, take a look at my comparison of virtual reality makeup apps and the coolness of what’s available right now.
