Virtual Makeovers

Online social sites allow the trying of beauty products prior to purchase

Implications - Extending the “try before you buy” concept to the online world, businesses are creating social media sites that allow consumers to try on makeup products and hairstyles virtually prior to purchase. With the convenience of these websites, individuals can then give themselves virtual makeovers in the comfort of their own homes, and test out products in a hassle-free manner prior to purchasing them.
