At the end of April I head over to Selfridges at The Trafford Centre to hear all about Estee Lauder's new collab with You Cam Makeup App where you can virtually try ALL of Estee Lauder's Lipsticks!
Now, I don't know about you but I have often wanted to try on all different lipsticks but you can't really do that with testers, it would be expensive if you took the lipstick home and didn't like it on yourself and let's face it once you try a bold colour it ends up all over your face unless you have some proper removal supplies!
I really think this concept is perfect for the perfect purchasing experience. Having sampled the app myself, I am blown away by how real the different finishes translate to the images. Matte, shimmer etc, you get a real idea of how it would look on you! Bottom centre is when I went a little further, changing my eye colour digitally and of course adding some lashes.... 😜
I will leave Estee Lauder's Press Release down below for all the information and the download link but I am genuinely really impressed by this so had to share!!
From April 13th beauty fans can experience YouCam Makeup for the first time in the UK at Estée Lauder Selfridges counters and the Estée Edit Carnaby Street store.
With over 4 million downloads in the UK alone (and over 400 million downloads globally)YouCam Makeup is the smart cosmetic app, harnessing accurate augmented reality and facial mapping technology for a true-to-life virtual makeover.
To celebrate the launch of Estée Lauder’s new Pure Colour LOVE lipstick, consumers can now try on all 30 shades in real-time (or on a static photo) directly through the app.
“Estée Lauder is excited to announce this partnership with YouCam – their first beauty venture in the UK” explains Chris Good, President, United Kingdom and Ireland The Estée Lauder Companies. “As a brand we no longer just sell lipstick. We offer the consumer a unique experience – and YouCam gives us the opportunity to bring innovative technology and a real digital first concept to the makeup loving millennial. And there is no better place to bring technology, social engagement and beauty together than at Selfridges and at our Carnaby Street store.”
“YouCam Makeup is honoured to partner with the iconic beauty brand, Estée Lauder, to deliver a one-of-a-kind instore beauty experience to their UK market,” said Perfect Corp.

Estée Lauder Beauty Advisors will be on-hand across locations to show consumers how to download and use the YouCam app allowing them to immediately try on every Pure Colour LOVE lipstick shade across the finishes - Ultra Mattes, Shimmer Pearls, Cooled Chromes and Edgy Crèmes. This is a true omni-channel experience demonstrating how mobile can drive traffic to services in store.

retail. As a beauty tool, YouCam offers a service that is fun, shareable and genuinely useful; we’re
