Abstract:
We have come to know a very genuine issue in the makeup industry, that problem being the issue of testing the makeup product before having to buy it. Having to test the makeup products would mean to actually apply it hence having to be there in the shop physically and not have any makeup on prior to that and if the customer has it then they have an extra activity to carry out that is to wipe their face and then apply the testers. This not only wastes the product the customer already had on their face but becomes an irritating activity and thus reduces customer satisfaction. Another issue is that of buying makeup products online, although templates are available with all their numbers, but it has no guarantee how it will look on their face. There is also a problem of testers not being available for some high end brands like Chanel etc. and thus the only way of knowing how it will look is actually buying it, where there is a chance of it not being liked by the customer later on and will be a wastage of money for them. Same problem arises in parlors where customers are hesitant to change their hair color. So, we came up with a solution to cater all these problems with the help of Augmented Reality. This will provide the customer with a list of the makeup products to choose from and with the help of one click the product will be augmented on their face allowing them a full view of how the color or product will look on their face. Our project MakeApp caters to all these issues and will help the user in testing the product at home with ease.
