AI-powered beauty shopping is becoming more personalized as Perfect Corp. brings virtual contact lens previews and automated skin assessments to Qoo10 Japan. The tools allow customers to explore how colored lenses appear on their eyes and identify skincare products suited to their individual concerns, reducing uncertainty when purchasing beauty products online.
Available to a marketplace with over 30 million registered users, the technology operates directly within existing shopping pages. Augmented reality tracks eye movements to display different lens colors, while smartphone-based skin analysis evaluates 10 concerns, including hydration, acne, and wrinkles. Customers receive visual reports alongside tailored product suggestions.
For Qoo10 Japan, these capabilities could encourage more confident purchases and strengthen customer engagement. Beauty brands also gain access to personalized shopping features without developing separate applications, potentially improving product discovery and supporting sales across both categories.
