right — everyone is unique and is ultimately looking for customised solutions.

Hence, beauty brands are constantly reinventing and innovating their products to
meet these specific needs. From AI and AR to implementing chatbots, let's take a

2 Smart skincare & skin advisors

have already rolled them out. For example, Olay's Skin Advisor,

skin sensors, gives you real-time reading of your skin's condition, and uses this data

Smart beauty products don't just stop at skincare either. Proof? There's even a
smart hairbrush called the Kérastase Hair Coach and it tells you how healthy your
hair is as you comb through your locks.

Wonder how a certain shade of lippie or eyeshadow will look like on you? There's
no need to step into a store thanks to virtual try-on apps. Take Sephora's Virtual
Artist app for instance — it tracks your face so it knows where to apply specific
makeup products and allows you to see what it'd look like in real-time. So what if it's
not as good as swatching products IRL? It's still very much useful, and the 200
million shades that have been tested on the app since its launch in 2016 speaks for
itself. Of course, other retailers have hopped on the bandwagon too, including
Benefit,, BareMinerals and many more.

System. Using facial-recognition

of makeup (concealer-cum-serum) where your skin needs it — on blemishes, age
spots and more — while correcting those trouble areas in the long run. Just like a
real-life beauty filter or photo retoucher! See how it works below:
