Summary

Become the CEO of a beauty products company. Follow your intuition when selecting market offers and make appropriate economic decisions in order to develop your company into an impressive corporation. You will begin by researching several product types - perfume, lipsticks, eyeshadows, nail polish, blush or mascara. The development of ingredients and scent composition are just the beginning. Later on, you will have to take care of appropriate packaging design, positioning and promotion. The sale of your product is the final stage, which will allow you to expand market possibilites of your company. Check how it feels to be a big success in great business. [City Interactive]

With too much emphasis on the factory insteady of the beauty, this is a game that really is skin-deep. [Sept 2008, p.117]

LEVEL (Czech Republic)

If Beauty Factory comes as a freeware web-based game there is a slight chance it could impress a bored person for 15 minutes. Ask for money in this case? We call it arrogance. There are no pros (except that “you need not to buy it”) only cons. [Aug 2008]

Let's face it: this is a Tycoon game where you control three numbers. It is, in short, a turd of a game. [Sept 2008, p.69]

AceGamez

Beauty Factory is not a game for twelve-year-old girls. It is not a game for twenty-four-year-old men. It is a game for no one. It is not even a game; it is a brief, repetitive workout for the index finger of whichever hand you use your mouse with.
