How to use iBeauti

The short answers. If yours is not here, report a bug or suggest a feature — both reach the same people.

What is a routine?

An ordered list of products, each with a note and a place on a face chart. It is yours: you build it, you change it, and nobody else reads it unless you publish it.

How do I build one?

Press New routine and add one step at a time — the product, what you do with it, and a tap on the face to say where it goes. You can do all of that without an account; you need one to save it.

What happens if I stop halfway?

Unfinished work is kept as a draft. Drafts lists what is waiting, and opening one carries on where you left off.

Can I scan a product instead of typing it?

Point the camera at the barcode on the pack. If the catalog knows that code the product fills itself in, and if it does not, the add-product form opens with the code already on it.

The product is not in the catalog.

Add it — a name and a brand are enough, and it goes into your routine straight away. Somebody reviews it before it turns up in anybody else’s search.

What is the shelf for?

What you own, your wishlist, and what you have starred, in one list you can search. It is the answer to “have I already got this” while you are standing in a shop.

What is a folder?

A folder is a group of routines you want to keep together, and your home screen shows a section for each one. Hold a card to move it between folders, and press Edit to change the order.

What does publishing a routine do?

It gives the routine an address of its own that the people following you can read. Your private notes never travel — only the notes you wrote to be read, and the products themselves.

How does following work?

Following is one-directional. If your account is private somebody has to ask and you decide; if it is public anybody with an account can follow you without asking.

Who can message me?

Somebody you follow who also follows you, and a consultant you have done a makeover with. Somebody you follow can send you a request, which you accept or decline. Blocking somebody ends all of it.

A consultant gave me a code.

Scanning it opens a routine built with them on your own phone, filed where the code says. The routine is yours to keep and change; the consultant keeps a record that the makeover happened.

What is a handle?

Your public address — ibeauti.com followed by the name you choose. It is how somebody reaches your profile, and you set it on your account screen.

Can I rate something?

You can give a product or a published routine one to five stars. Ratings are only ever shown as totals and averages, never beside your name.

I cannot get into my account.

The sign-in screen sends a recovery mail carrying both a link and a six-digit code — the phone asks for the code, the web follows the link. If the mail does not arrive, report it from this page: the bug form works signed out.

How do I delete my account?

From your account screen. It closes at once and the erasure runs in the background over the next few days; the privacy policy says exactly what is removed and what is left behind.
