How technology is transforming cosmetics

L'Oréal worked with a team of data scientists from Image Metrics – whose advanced facial mapping technology was used in the film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – to incorporate a facial mapping algorithm into the app. Up until this point, the technology had only been used in Hollywood and in the gaming industry.

The algorithm captures 64 data points on your face, making it intuitive enough to discern between the skin of the lips, eyes and other facial contours. This means the virtual makeup moves with you as you turn your head, change your facial expression and test out new looks at various angles and lighting conditions.

Beauty Brands and Social Media

For an industry that has been built on recommendation through word of mouth, it was relatively slow on the uptake of social media. A recent article in Marketing Week stated that consumers spend less time watching TV, and more time on digital media. Though it is excellent news for agencies that specialise in online strategies, it’s bad news for those who use traditional ATL methods. Previous research revealed 69% of personal care websites are not updated regularly and that 12% of websites host out of date promotions.
