A session often starts with a character who needs a look or a dish, moves through a series of choices, and ends with a reveal. Some include small mini-games, like washing hair or stirring a pot, that break up the choosing with a bit of hands-on tapping.

2Tap items to apply them. Swipe or use arrows to scroll through more choices in each category.
3Complete any mini-game prompts, such as dragging a brush or tapping a timer, to move to the next stage.
4At the end, look for a camera, heart or star to save or rate your creation before starting a new one.
