L’Oréal, in partnership with cross-game avatar design studio Ready Player Me, launched its first virtual beauty looks for avatars in the metaverse. The makeup and hair looks are compatible with thousands of applications and platforms around the world and they have the potential to help people creatively express themselves in a new way within virtual realms. Maybelline New York and L’Oréal Professionnel are now each offering up five makeup and hairstyles created by makeup artists, hairdressers and 3D artists.
The metaverse promises to provide a sense of escape so that people can express themselves in ways that are not possible in the real world, and many beauty brands are supporting the future of beauty on Web3 and the metaverse.
