Abstract

Over the years, makeup professionals have positioned their art as a force to reckon with in the fashion industry. The need to look good, beautiful, attractive, and stunning to event or any social activity is highly demanding. In the world today if a client/customer wants to schedule an appointment with a makeup artist, they need to call in or personally go to the studio to schedule an appointment. This consumes precious time of the client also clients are unaware of the schedule of the makeup artist before going to the studio. The android platform, a mobile application can be developed for scheduling makeup time and bridging the gap between the makeup artist and client. It provides a fast and adequate makeup service. The application is designed based on the First- Come, First-Served (FCFS) Scheduling algorithm. This application allows the client to book an appointment, pay a commitment fee of 40% through an electronic payment system. The application reduces the case of double booking and increases organization of appointment scheduling by the make up artist.
