What is AI Facial Analysis?

How Brands Can Leverage Facial Analysis

1. Personalization

Having this type of personalization in shopping experience is important. As many as 71% of customers become frustrated when their shopping experience is impersonal*. When brands provide such a unique shopping experience, it can increase sales conversions and improve customer satisfaction.

2. Increases ROI with Virtual Try-ons

As an example, some brands report seeing a $20 return on just a $1 investment when it comes to using advanced personalization techniques similar to virtual try-on (Collins). Brands that take these extra steps to help customers enjoy the shopping experience are sure to reap similar benefits.

3. AI Facial Analysis Replaces a Traditional Face Analysis Test

AI Facial Analysis helps to replace traditional online survey

Lastly, one of the most prominent benefits of the AI Facial Analysis for beauty brands is its noteworthy ability to replace the online survey method that beauty brands have traditionally relied on. This method is used to acquire essential information about each individual consumer in order for beauty brands to provide a more personalized shopping experience. However, the online survey method has some significant drawbacks, such as:

  • Unreliability. Consumers don’t always provide accurate information as they simply might not know enough about their facial traits. For example, a customer might be unable to distinguish between a round and an oval face shape, but the AI Face Shape Detector does so accurately and subjectively.
  • Survey fatigue. Oftentimes, online surveys make customers lose their patience, as filling out surveys is a tedious and wearisome process. Most customers would not want to spend more than a minute or two on a survey prior to buying what they need. This usually causes high rates of abandonment during a shopping journey. On the contrary, the AI Facial Analysis does not require any user inputs and completes the entire analysis in under 2 seconds.

4. AI is Easy to Integrate

The personalized recommendation engine works for a wide range of product categories, including makeup, eyewear, jewelry and more. The AI technology can be integrated across most major web browsers, mobile apps, and in-store consultation platforms.

Benefits for Customers: 3 Easy Steps to Find Perfectly Tailored Products

AI Facial Analysis can be used in a wide array of applications. Brands aren’t limited to just one type of product. Upon completing the facial analysis, AI tech can recommend makeup products, styles, looks, and suitable colors from throughout the brand’s catalog.

Step 1: Analyze the Facial Attributes

Using makeup recommendations as an example, it becomes clearer how this would work for a brand offering numerous products. First, the user would head to the site and grant the AI Facial Analysis permission to use their likeness. The technology then analyzes the user’s facial attributes, as well as the color/shade of their hair, eyes, and lips.

Step 2: Shop the Beauty Products AI Recommended

With this data analyzed, AI and Big Data provide personalized recommendations for makeup, eyewear, and more based on the results. The result of the face analysis can determine what products would work best on the face of particular users and help them best address their concerns. 

The system scans for product matches based on similarities with skin tone and other facial attributes and matches them with SKUs from the brand’s inventory.

Step 3: Virtually Try On the Matched Items

Once these beauty products are selected, users can virtually try on the best-match items on their faces. They’ll be able to mix and match to see which styles they like best, and they can even find adjacent styles that they might prefer by browsing similar products.

Since users will have recommendations for a wide range of beauty products for their whole face based on the face analysis, it allows brands to present their products as a whole package rather than single items.
