Reveals First Virtual Makeup Try-On Activated by Shopper-Product Interaction at Bourjois Paris Boutique via coty

Coty (NYSE: COTY) unveiled a blended reality beauty Magic Mirror at its newly relaunched Bourjois boutique in Paris. The revolutionary technology integrates physical products with digital content, for a first-of-a-kind augmented reality (AR) makeup try-on experience.

With the blended reality Magic Mirror, when a shopper picks up a lipstick the chosen color instantly appears on their lips. This removes barriers of traditional virtual makeup experiences, where shoppers can only engage with products in a virtual setting.
