The AI Smart Shade Finder web solution transforms online shopping experience by accurately detecting consumer’s skin tone and recommending the right foundation match.

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Perfect Corp, the beauty AI+AR tech solutions provider behind the world’s leading virtual beauty try-on app YouCam Makeup, partners with renowned professional makeup brand MAKE UP FOR EVER to introduce an artificial intelligence (AI) Smart Shade Finder on the brand’s website for the easy and accurate foundation shade matching and subsequent personalized product recommendation, allowing a true-to-life try-on experience. This innovative and inspiring partnership re-imagines how beauty shoppers find their perfect foundation shade through the use of advanced AI and deep learning, which gives users an opportunity to virtually try-on multiple foundation shades and receive personalized product recommendations based on their results. This cutting-edge beauty technology offers an effective and safe way for customers to experience the product before making a purchase.

Finding the right foundation shade is a tedious and complex process as every beauty shopper, from novice to connoisseur, has a unique combination of skin features and tones, as well as individual needs.

The advanced beauty AI+AR technology greatly simplifies this process by leveraging AI smart detection based on over 200,000 learning samples across all skin groups, as well as AR virtual try-on capabilities, to create a truly personalized experience for consumers. This level of precision and accuracy strengthens the confidence of beauty shoppers who are now able to instantly try the extensive MAKE UP FOR EVER foundation shade range in seconds, to find their best shade match. Moreover, taking into consideration the modern trend toward digital transformation, this virtual try-on solution will help MAKE UP FOR EVER stay connected with consumers who are accustomed to traditional, in-store beauty retail experience.
