First-of-its-Kind, Mobile Augmented Reality Training Program Redefines the Beauty Advisor Education Experience

New York, New York — Dec. 14, 2017 —Perfect Corp. and Estée Lauder announced today the launch of the first ever Estée Lauder Augmented Reality Training (ART) bringing to life the world's first live AR makeup education program for the brand's over 17,000 Beauty Advisors around the world. The interactive live stream platform gives Estée Lauder's Global Education team the ability to host real-time trainings and product briefings, in which the brand's Beauty Advisors can view and engage with directly from their mobile devices.

The private live channel is transforming the way the Estée Lauder Brand connects with its Beauty Advisors and sales teams, providing a unique training tool that utilizes AR technology to educate, entertain and inform. The ability for Beauty Advisors to interact and virtually try on featured looks throughout the session, follow along on slide show presentations, and chime in with real-time questions and feedback, helps to maintain the intimate nature of the training.

"We are so excited to work with Estée Lauder to connect Beauty Advisors globally for live beauty training anywhere, anytime," says Perfect Corp. CEO, Alice Chang. "Leveraging YouCam's AR technology for beauty demonstrations allows for engaging, interactive and effective training in real time and at scale."

In addition to the Estée Lauder Global Education team hosting regular live training sessions, the brand can also track attendance, engagements and overall performance of the trainers and participants.

"We are thrilled to continue our pioneering partnership with YouCam to bring mobile-based Augmented Reality training to our Beauty Advisors around the world," says Stephane de La Faverie, Global Brand President, Estée Lauder. "We believe this is a turning point in beauty education and leveraging technology."

The Estée Lauder Global Education team kicked off their first YouCam ART segment on Thursday, December 7 for over 600 Estée Lauder brand employees around the world to introduce its latest innovation Perfectionist Pro Rapid Firm + Lift Treatment.

This training initiative builds on two other technology projects launched as a result of the Estée Lauder-YouCam partnership.

- In April, 2017, Estée Lauder initiated the partnership with YouCam for the launch of Pure Color LOVE lipstick where customers were able to virtually try all 30 shades in 30 seconds, and have since rolled out Virtual Try On on over 800 devices in stores and on the YouCam app for their Makeup franchises, globally.

- This December 2017, Estée Lauder debuted the YouCam “Look Transfer” technology as part of an influencer launch event for new Pure Color Envy Paint-On Liquid Lip Color. This technology recognizes the makeup shades used on models in an advertising campaign and allows the consumer to recreate the model's look via Virtual Try-On. This will debut for consumers in store and through the YouCam app in 2018.

Experience the season’s hottest haircolors at a Redken salon or through the YouCam Makeup app!

New York, New York — Sept. 07, 2017 —Perfect Corp.is excited to announce their partnership with Redken for the launch of over 75 professional haircolor shades within the award-winning YouCam Makeup app. This innovative collaboration will allow beauty lovers the chance to test out hundreds of Redken haircolors virtually with a single tap.

Considering going blonde, but hoping to test the shade out before committing to an entirely new look? Thanks to this unique partnership, you can now do exactly that with a rainbow of Redken color options trending this season. The release of Redken in the YouCam Makeup app gives consumers the ability to accurately and instantly test professional haircolors in seconds, introducing an entirely new level of beauty discovery and experimentation for potential customers. The true-to-life AR technology within the YouCam Makeup app enables virtual haircolor trials on selfies with a single tap. Custom brush and erase features of the YouCam Makeup also allow users to quickly draw in details on their haircolor, like highlights, ombre, or balayage to garner the full effect of the future finished look. Once a desired new haircolor has been found, the app will direct the user to a Redken Salon Finder to easily book an appointment and bring the virtual try on to reality.

“We are excited to collaborate with Redken, the leading professional haircolor brand in the US, and offer beauty lovers the chance to experiment with haircolor like never before with instant, innovative AR,” said Alice H. Chang, CEO of Perfect Corp. “YouCam Makeup continues to strive to redefine the beauty experience, and this partnership speaks seamlessly to our vision to break the boundaries of product trials, and deliver a truly unique way for people to discover and experiment with beauty and haircolor.”

“At Redken, we believe haircolor is the new makeup, and having a partnership with YouCam Makeup that allows consumers to test a new shade of haircolor like a new shade of lipstick is the ultimate in next-generation personal expression,” says Darienne Kennedy, VP of Integrated Marketing Communications at Redken. “Before committing to a brand new hue, YouCam Makeup now allows users to virtually test the latest in Redken haircolors, ranging from ‘Honey Blonde’ to ‘Cobalt Blue’, then easily find the nearest Redken salon when they’re ready to make a change.”

The Redken and YouCam Makeup partnership also extends into the ever-evolving in-salon experience. Gone are the days of clipping out favorite celebrity haircolor inspiration from a magazine to show your colorist. With YouCam Makeup, clients can virtually try on endless haircolor possibilities to find their perfectly customizable new hue, and then share their selfie with the colorist during their next salon visit. With Redken shades like “Pastel Peach”, “Opal Glow”, and “Sunkissed Brown”, discovering a fresh new haircolor look is as easy as downloading the YouCam Makeup app.

To experience your instant haircolor makeover, download the free YouCam Makeup app, snap a selfie, and browse through over 75 striking new Redken professional colors. The virtual YouCam Makeup X Redken experience will also be featured in select salon locations beginning September 2017 – Cutler Salon (SoHo, New York City) and Hilights Salon (Lyndhurst, NJ) – with additional salon locations rolling out thereafter. The in-salon YouCam Makeup modules invite clients to experiment with the in-app try ons and offer an enhanced consultation experience with their colorist.

On the topic of embarrassing selfie taking locations, 51% of Americans admit to have taken a selfie in the bathroom mirror. Check out the full selfie insights infographic.

“We are excited to see the shocking growth in YouCam’s selfie takers over the last three years,” says Perfect Corp. CEO, Alice Chang. “We continue to strive to deliver the best user experience and help selfie lovers around the world express themselves with a single tap on their mobile device.”

Leveraging YouCam Apps unique big data from over 350 million downloads and 140 million Beauty Circle users, the study identifies and segments people into twelve different selfie-personalities.

New York, New York— November 01, 2016 — Selfie culture is here to stay. In fact, the word “selfie” grew in popularity by 17,000 percent since 2012 and even gained a permanent spot in the Merriam-Webster dictionary in 2014. According to Perfect Corp., whose suite of augmented reality beauty apps has amounted over 350 million downloads globally, women spend 500 million minutes every month using the apps’ selfie cam and have taken over 10 billion selfies since the apps launch, two years ago. To better understand the selfie obsession, Perfect Corp. conducted an in-depth study identifying selfie behaviors, motivations and personalities. The study uncovered 12 different selfie personas, proving that selfie-takers are not one-size fits all.

Selfie Personas Snapshot
Whether it’s a selfie with your beau, a classic duck-face, or a snap with your favorite rescue pup, each one inspires self-expression, empowerment, and experimentation. The twelve selfie personas identified by Perfect Corp. include: My Squad, Funny Face, Family, Party Girl, Gen Z, Girl Power, Animal Lover, Forever Young, Flirty, Vacationer, Dare Devil and Romantic. 

Some of the most interesting selfie insights revealed through the study include:
      。Gen Z’ers are more selective sharers, sharing 40% fewer selfies than Millennials 
      。My Squad selfie-takers take 4 times as many photos as the average YouCam user
      。Party Girl type take more selfies on Wednesday nights than the average user
      。10 percent of Animal Lovers have tried out makeup filters on their pets
      。Vacationers make the least amount of edits to their selfies because… #nofilterneeded
      。Romantic people take the most romantic selfies on Sunday

One commonality unveiled regarding all selfie personas is their passion for lipstick. In fact, within the YouCam Makeup app:
      。Lipstick is the most tried-on feature with 1.5 million virtual try-ons daily
      。Sunday from 7:00 – 9:00PM is the most popular time to try on lipsticks
      。Women try on matte lipstick two times more than glossy lipstick
      。Red lip colors are a favorite across all U.S. cities

“Our new study supports Perfect Corp.’s mission to help users discover endless beauty inspiration and express themselves through the art of selfie-taking, no matter their persona,” says Alice Chang, Founder and CEO of Perfect Corp. “We are thrilled that over 350 million people have used our apps for exactly that and are proud to be the number one interactive beauty platform, offering a unique and comprehensive journey.”

John Paul Mitchell Systems partners with virtual try-on app YouCam Makeup to bring the Paul Mitchell Professional Hair Color offering to life

Century City, CA— August 19, 2016 —Paul Mitchell is giving consumers the chance to get creative with their hair color, commitment-free. The brand will kick-off a partnership with YouCam Makeup this month that allows consumers the opportunity to virtually try-on a vast assortment of shades from their professional hair color range.  Paul Mitchell is the first hair care brand to be featured on the leading beauty app, and the use of consumer-facing, virtual makeover technology is a first for the brand as well. 

“Hair color isn’t ‘one-size fits all,’ and we’re thrilled to join forces with Perfect Corp. and You Cam Makeup to ease the intimidation that can sometimes come with a potential hair color change,” said Michaeline DeJoria, Vice Chairman at John Paul Mitchell Systems.  “Our salon partners are so important to us, and in addition to consumers, we view this as an invaluable tool for Paul Mitchell hair stylists, helping to drive sales of hair color services,” added DeJoria-Heydari.

Utilizing YouCam Makeup’s precise instant hair mapping technology and unmatched natural color layering, the app delivers true-to-life hair color, helping users visualize hair color transformations before committing to a color change—whether used for fun at-home, or with a stylist during a consultation. 

The upgraded app featuring Paul Mitchell Professional Hair Color and new capabilities will officially be unveiled to the company’s vast network of professional stylists at its bi-annual Gathering event August 14th – 16th in Las Vegas. In addition to live demos, John Paul Mitchell Systems will promote the partnership across all consumer and professional facing Paul Mitchell channels including social media, websites and e-distribution channels. The app will further be supported by their professional network through salon communication, dedicated tip cards and video content.

Chang, CEO of Perfect Corp. “Paul Mitchell’s trusted and reliable products complement YouCam Makeup’s augmented reality makeover technology, creating a true-to-life hairstyling experience in our virtual salon that helps consumers select the right hair color quickly and easily.”

The colors highlighted will offer something for everyone, with shades ranging from blondes, to reds and browns, to vivid pink and blue; all aligning with a variety of Paul Mitchell Professional Hair Color formulas, including NEW POP XG and The Demi lines, as well as Paul Mitchell the Color, The Color XG and PM SHINES.  A consultation icon is built into to the app to support each color swatch, linking users directly to Paul Mitchell’s Salon Locator, where they can make an appointment to bring their virtual makeover to life.

Paul Mitchell Professional Color will be available for “try-on” with the YouCam Makeup app beginning August 10th, 2016; YouCam Makeup is available for free in the App Store and through Google Play.

Designed for makeup artists, MakeupDirector offers an opportunity for professionals in the makeup space to improve how they consult with clients through digital applications. Rather than suggesting makeup styles by presenting clients with images drawn from magazines or online, artists are able to apply a series of looks directly to a client's photo to see what pairs with their individual facial characteristics, or in particular lighting conditions for studio shoots.

Availability
MakeupDirector is available for Microsoft® Windows® on the CyberLink online store in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese and Korean.

A version of MakeupDirector supporting OS X will be available for Mac users in September 2016.

Pricing
