Perfect Corp. Partners with Avon to Bring Personalized Product Recommendations and AR Virtual Try-On to Over 400 Makeup Products

Avon integrates cutting-edge AI & AR-powered virtual make-up try-on technology to help customers find their perfect product match.

London, UK, 28 November 2022—Perfect Corp. (NYSE: PERF), the leading artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) beauty and fashion tech solutions provider, today announces that it has extended the partnership with the leading beauty brand Avon, to launch a virtual try-on (VTO) online shopping experience in nine markets, including the UK. The immersive shopping experience is powered by Perfect Corp.’s award-winning technology, allowing customers to experiment with various beauty products virtually to find their perfect product match.


Virtual Try-On Experience Supports Avon's 'Open Up & Grow' Strategy with Enhanced Shopping

Launching in the UK, South Africa, The Philippines, Italy, Poland, Russia, Romania, Czech Republic, and Turkey, the virtual try-on experience provides Avon shoppers with an interactive and personalized shopping experience. Through Perfect Corp.’s AI and AR virtual try-on technology, Avon’s customers are able to instantly try on products via their mobile camera or webcam on desktop, seeing products come to life with hyper-realistic results. Avon beauty advisors are also able to enhance the high-touch shopping experience they already offer. In the UK, the VTO experience will be available for over 400 products, across Avon’s collection of lip, eye, and face makeup. 


“This type of beauty technology isn’t widely available in the mass beauty market. Until now, it has only been prestige brands offering this type of brand experience.” Says Alex Long, Head of Omnichannel Global Marketing at Avon, “We’re really excited about the potential of this technology to help Avon by enhancing the shopping experience. Whether shopping online or through a beauty advisor, customers can get a truly personalized experience and be confident in their purchase.”  


Cutting-Edge Sustainable AR Beauty Tech Enhances the Avon Consumer Journey

Perfect Corp.’s true-to-life AR try-on utilizes patented AgileFace® technology to automatically identify users’ unique facial features, such as eye and eyebrow shapes, to deliver the most realistic virtual try-on experience. 

Integrating Perfect Corp.’s precise VTO solution will allow Avon to offer its shoppers and Reps a hyper-realistic virtual beauty experience. VTO experiences are proven to increase customer purchasing confidence as well as digital engagement by allowing shoppers to try on products instantly and seamlessly through a digital platform. As no physical product is used, virtual try-on also provides a sustainable and hygienic beauty testing experience, which is top of mind for many consumers with increased concerns around product waste and sustainability.


Avon Leverages Digital Innovation to Drive Customer Engagement and Purchasing Confidence

“As consumers turn to brands for tailored product advice and recommendations, AI and AR technologies have become more important than ever before,” said Perfect Corp. founder and CEO, Alice Chang. “We are thrilled to be working with Avon in the UK and across other markets to bring the power of these technologies to its customers in a truly personalized and immersive way. We are looking forward to seeing how this technology will allow the business to grow and thrive even further”. 


“At Avon we have millions of customers around the world and are constantly re-evaluating the ways we can best serve them and drive confidence in their product choices,” adds Alex Long at Avon. “We are proud of being an early adopter of beauty technology and understand the important role it has for the modern beauty shopper. We are delighted to be partnering with Perfect Corp. to offer our Reps and customers this technology which will be a valuable asset to the business and help us drive further growth and customer satisfaction.”
