Upon completion of the shopping spree, players will proceed to beautify a virtual avatar with their look of choice, again through shaking their phones in order to complete the look as fast as possible. The final beauty look will be revealed along with the resulting beauty ranking achieved, determining the player(s)’ prize ranging from Beauty Bae, Beauty Enthusiast, Beauty Expert, and to the top rank of Beauty Master.
