"Why?", you ask. In the film, The Devil Wears Prada, I noticed the employees giving themselves a quick check at their desk with their computer's built-in camera. We ought to be able to do that. So, I wrote MakeupMirror.

Unlike Photobooth, you can make MakeupMirror full screen. MakeupMirror has handy commmands to:

magnify - 2X digital zoom
pause - freeze the current image
time delay - display what the camera saw 15 seconds ago, for checking your back.

Plus the basic Macintosh commands you'd expect:

save - as a JPEG file
print - send the current camera image to the printer.
hide and show the toolbar - using the gray knob at the top right of the window titlebar.
change the toolbar display style - <Command> click on that gray knob to cycle through toolbar display moodes.
resize - You can make the video window any size you want.

And the advanced Macintosh commands that every application ought to have.

online help - On the help menu, of course.
Applescript enabled - Script Editor will show you MakeupMirror's scripting dictionary.

Version 1.0 - initial release

Version 1.0.1 - hides cursor if it is over the video and not moving.

Xcode 3.1. Apache license.

Compatibility: Macintosh OS X 10.4 or later. Macintosh Intel or PowerPC.
