You have ten minutes on a commute and want a puzzle that ends with a new hairstyle for someone else. Project Makeover from Magic Tavern, Inc. fits that slot. It is a free casual game in the makeup and fashion categories, rated Everyone, and it has been around since November 2020.
First steps after installing Project Makeover
The game needs Android 7.0 or later, and the current version is 2.150.1. Check your device against that minimum before you start.
The store description casts you as the stylist who helps clients chase their dreams. You meet a dramatic client, solve a puzzle level, then dress the person with clothes, hairstyles and makeup. Rooms can be furnished too, and you can also style your own avatar.
Puzzles, drama clients and room decoration
The core loop mixes fashion-themed puzzles with styling. Power-ups help you clear levels, and obstacles make some stages harder.
Styling goes beyond outfits. You can also decorate a client's room, and the features include furniture alongside clothes and makeup. Clients are written as dramatic types, such as egotistical fashion icons and scheming assistants.
Your own avatar is customizable too, and you can visit friends to see how they dressed theirs.
Who should pick an alternative
The game shows ads and sells in-app purchases, so players who want a clean, one-time experience may be happier elsewhere.
If you want less puzzle and more pure dress-up, you could look at Monster High Beauty Salon, Super Stylist Fashion Makeover, Rebel Glam, Glow Fashion Idol, Fashion Show or Makeup Stylist. How each one plays is not described here, so compare them on their own pages.
