01. Challenge - A Phygital Approach to Colour Cosmetics

Covergirl approached Holition to create a magic mirror for their first ever brick and mortar location in Times Square, seeking a fun and quick solution to discover their latest products and looks.

Holition set out to create a Blended Reality Magic Mirror that makes makeup shopping fun and extremely shareable.

02. Solution - Nailing the Perfect Selfie with Digital Makeup

As the first blended reality mirrors in the United States, the experiential point of sales tackle sales, marketing and beauty pain points from a new dimension.

Between the two magic mirrors in the Times Square location, shoppers can virtually try on 36 lipsticks and 7 eyeshadows by simply picking them up, courtesy of Perch Interactive’s unique technology. Courtesy of Holition’s augmented reality technology, users can form over 100 virtual makeup looks in under three minutes.

With the featured lipsticks and eyeshadows located directly next to the magic mirrors, convenience of conversion is elevated to the next level, alleviating the search for the product after try-on.

The technology also allows users to take photos and share them to shop their favourite looks on their own device.

03. Insight - Covergirl's Technology Evolution

After the successes of Covergirl and Holition’s previous AR activations (see Covergirl’s BeautyU app and In-Browser AR Tool as developed by Holition), the mirrors were a welcomed addition to their augmented reality portfolio as the first in-store augmented reality activation.

A visible uptick in sales of the featured products and continued increase in social shares serve as a testament to the mirrors' success.
