“Barbie, the world-famous fashion icon, has strutted runways in the latest trends for more than 50 years. This fall, she is adding a virtual makeup to her endless closet shining a colorful light on the way tech-savvy girls play with Barbie.”
Barbie Digital Makeover is the coolest tech-toy to enter my house in a long time. My girls and I have had SO much fun playing with it! The Barbie Digital Makeover combines the fun of playing with lipstick, eyeshadow, blush, glitter, and accessories without any mess. Complete with vanity lights, a tray of mess-free makeup and an electronic makeup brush makes this a tech-toy a must have. It would keep any girl (okay and mom!) entertained for hours.
Slide your iPad (or iPad mini, like mine) into the “mirror slot” and it instantly becomes a mirror for you to apply the makeup and more. The iPad camera takes a photo of you and with the applicator, you can start applying makeup. The facial tracking technology keeps the digital makeup in place as you move around – just like you are really wearing the make up.
This is one of my girls in front of the Barbie Digital Makeover getting ready to take a facial image.
Not only can you apply mess-free makeup, but you can create all sorts of other pictures, adding masks, headpieces, earrings, pins, glasses, bows, etc. The options are endless.
Here is an example of applying mess-free make up and “moving around” on the “mirror.” You can hit the camera button any time and there is a count down from 3 before the photo is taken – plenty of time to get your pose perfect!
You can take all your creations and make them into a scrapbook page. You can add stickers, bubble quotes, paper, photo frames, and more.
