Customer matching makeup shades with Totem virtual try-on

The Challenge

Shade matching was the number one barrier to purchase. Sampling was messy, testers ran out, and customers left without buying when they couldn't be sure of a match.

The Solution

Totem's beauty campaign applied lipstick, eyeshadow, and foundation to the customer's actual skin tone in real time — no testers, no mess, no guessing.

The Result

Engagement tripled, the shade-matching conversion rate hit 68%, and the campaign became the retailer's most-shared in-store experience of the year.
