Coty and Perfect Corp Partner on AR and AI Beauty Technology Offering

Coty recently adopted a Digital-First Omnichannel strategy focused on digital storytelling and discovery. Part of that strategy means that Coty shoppers using the AR and AI enhancements are discovering a new lipstick, trying it on virtually and going to checkout, all while watching a livestream.

Founder and CEO of Perfect Corp. Alice Chang said in the announcement:

“Perfect Corp. has always been at the forefront of virtual try-on experiences, digital storytelling and AR technologies… Our extensive partnership with Coty helps propel some of world’s largest brands further into the new age of social commerce and DTC selling with unmatched personalization, live-stream and leading technology-driven capabilities, which is becoming increasingly important for consumers when shopping with their favorite brands,” 

Perfect Corp. launched a digital makeup tutorial solution with step-by-step lessons using AI and augmented reality earlier this month. The company’s YouCam Tutorial provides brush stroke overlay animation, which educates consumers virtually on the correct makeup application techniques. Makeup artists debuted the new technology at The Nolcha Shows at New York Fashion Week. The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution also includes integrated eCommerce capabilities.
