How Virtual Try-Ons for Make-Up Work
Take Artificial Intelligence, add the innovations of Machine Learning and season it all with calculations of proportions as Computer Vision does. This is the recipe for the future already a reality.
The gesture is natural, just take a photo and the virtual proof overlays the AR layer. Digital representations become part of reality, the VTO in fact does not fear any variables. The identification of reference vertices exceeds three thousand specific points.
Changing expression, smiling, closing one’s eyes or performing any other action is no problem at all. The virtual machine returns the make-up test as if it were physical, only it is much more practical. From the smartphone or on the Smart Mirror, the experience does not change.
The Advantages of Trying on Make-up Online
That of the back of the hand is a thing of the past, now lipstick testing can be done on the train as well as in the perfumery. Between infinite shades and texture combinations, Try-On make-up has the colours of the revolution.
The virtual breaks down the barrier of doubt, exactly the one that deceived when choosing lipstick when one relied on the simple colour selection on the online store. Removing the doubt has allowed sales to double, augmented reality helps you decide.
Previously more sceptical, the virtual trial has brought the target audience closer to the online store. A conscious purchase is gained as the customer receives exactly what he or she has chosen. The data speak for themselves: return rates are reduced by up to 64%.
The Impact of Virtual Try-Ons on Cosmetic Marketing Strategies
The encounter of the virtual with make-up has introduced a serious revolution, it has enhanced the entire supply chain but without pitting physical stores against virtual ones. The e-commerce bug has been debunked.
The virtual proof is a valuable container as it collects data on preferences, hence the industry’s greater propensity to push for personalised cosmetics. Targeting the offer avoids the dispersion of production capacities, optimising resources.
Virtual revolutionises the concept of marketing in cosmetics, sales strategies can move towards more aggressive offers. Reducing waste and saving on physical costs ensures that savings are redistributed and prices cut. And cosmetics become increasingly green.
