Face painting, not makeup, and the difference is in the tools.
Barbie picks an outfit first, stage or ballet or party, then one of three painted designs, and from there you are drawing rather than clicking swatches. A thin black brush lays the outline, colour goes inside it, and a wider brush finishes with glittery powder over the top. The order matters, because filling before the outline leaves you nothing to fill up to.
It sits under decoration here rather than dress up, which undersells the outfit stage. Capy, free in the browser, playable on a phone, with no save button, so screenshot the finished face.
How to play Barbie Glam Face Art
Choose the outfit before the design, since the three face art patterns are built to sit with particular looks. Outline with the thin black brush first and take the whole shape before switching tools. Fill the outlined areas with colour, one section at a time. Finish with the wide brush and the glitter powder, which goes over everything rather than inside the lines.

Frequently asked questions
How many designs are there?
Three painted patterns, each applied over whichever outfit you picked, so the combinations run further than the three suggest.
Is it free on mobile?
Yes, free in a browser on phone or desktop with nothing to install, though a larger screen makes the outlining easier.
