01 / A familiar idea, a new canvas

Your compact.
Your rules.

Try a photo or the demo. In the camera studio, deliberate hand gestures apply color to a chosen area. Hovering works—touching your skin is optional.

  1. 01

    Pick your mood.

    Start with a shade, or explore a preset like Smokey Eye or Summer Crush.

  2. 02

    Make it yours.

    Circle for blush, sweep for eyes, lips, or glow, then move your hand away. Manual controls are there too.

  3. 03

    Keep a little magic.

    Compare before and after. Save a look locally, or share an image with a friend when you choose.

The four gesture tools are built as prototypes. We’re testing live accuracy, placement, and camera quality before release.

02 / A little color goes a long way

One face.
A new mood.

Rendered examples from the native app, using the same fictional demo portrait. An artistic color preview, with real cosmetic shade matching left for another day.

04 / Built in the open

A small app.
A new possibility.

Built by independent developer Lorenzo Brown, and presented by Vydrio. The idea is simple: make a folding phone feel like something familiar and fun.

We’re preparing for iPhone Duo’s October 23 arrival. The app is still in development; publication depends on live testing, hardware checks, and App Review.

A few good questions.

Do I need an iPhone Duo?

The compact layout is designed for Duo. The ordinary iPhone studio already runs on our iPhone 17 Pro Max test device. Launch device and OS coverage will be confirmed before release.

Does the app change my face or upload my camera?

It previews artistic makeup colors. Face and hand tracking happens on your device; the app does not upload camera images or tracking points. Saving a look keeps a photo locally, and sharing happens only when you choose it.

Is it an actual makeup brand?

Fold & Glow is an independent creative app. It isn’t affiliated with a cosmetics brand and doesn’t promise a match to a real product’s shade.

Can I try it before release?

Send a beta-interest email to info@vydr.io. If a suitable TestFlight build is available, we’ll explain the next step. You can also explore the compact concept on this page.
