Plug & Play Virtual Try-On for Shopify Beauty Merchants
Mass adoption of virtual beauty tools has quickly replaced physical swatching with hyper-realistic virtual try-ons. With growing global health concerns, beauty brands-large and small- are being challenged to quickly adapt their online and offline consumer beauty journey to allow for safe product testing that invites consumers to try-before-they-buy. This shopping behavior has become a cornerstone of the beauty shopping experience and leading to the fast adoption of innovative virtual try-on solutions by consumers, brands, and retailers alike.
In recognizing the utility of beauty tech solutions and how they can aid in this consumer try-on experience, YouCam sought to develop a service that helps to introduce an experiential digital touchpoint for online shoppers. The new “YouCam Makeup” app available for Shopify, was developed to seamlessly introduce virtual makeup try-on capabilities to the vast network of Shopify beauty merchants.
