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.
