What Is Virtual Makeup Try On?
Perfect Corp.’s innovative virtual try-on technology makes it possible for consumers to conveniently explore different categories of makeup products in real time.
The Most Flexible Virtual Try-On Solution for Small, Medium, or Indie Makeup Brands
Now, customers shopping with small and medium beauty brands can also virtually try on makeup before purchasing with the newly developed virtual try-on widget.
It uses embedded iFrame integration and apps for several methods of virtual try-on, so customers can take advantage of the hyper-realistic virtual try-on across various platforms.
The Capabilities
The virtual try-on widget is available for several makeup product categories, including:
- Lipstick
- Blush
- Eyeliner
- Eye shadow
- Mascara
- False eyelashes
- Foundation
With each product, consumers can further adjust and personalize such elements as color and shade, texture, and coverage intensity to see the product as they would apply it in real life.
Multiple Patterns & Textures
Shoppers can view eyelash styles with over 40 patterns, and there are even more patterns and textures to choose from with makeup products like indie eye shadow brands, which offer more than 170 patterns to try.
Consumers can choose between live mode try-ons, photo try-ons, or select a sample model to view their chosen product on someone with a similar complexion.
They can also view the before and after images to see the difference their chosen product makes for them side by side.
With the virtual try-on zoom effect, consumers can see close-up areas for a more realistic experience. These options increase confidence in indie and small makeup brands when consumers experience virtual try-on technology that functions even better than a mirror.
