Voice-enabled Makeup Assistant Assistive Technology for the Blind & Visually Impaired
Meet Estée Lauder’s Voice-enabled Makeup Assistant, an AI-powered tool for the Blind and visually impaired.
This innovative app for iOS devices offers audio feedback on foundation, eyeshadow and lipstick application, creating a more accessible beauty experience for the visually impaired.
This app is a small step in advancing the accessibility of our Estée Lauder products and services, and helping to ensure all consumers have the ability and access to feel their most confident and beautiful.
What does the app do?
The Voice-enabled Makeup Assistant leverages the user’s phone’s camera, machine learning and voice instruction technologies to provide detailed audio feedback to a user about their application of foundation, eyeshadow and lipstick.
The Virtual Assistant guides the user through the makeup application process including any recommended touch ups along the way.
How does it work?
After the user applies foundation, eyeshadow or lipstick, the Voice-enabled Makeup Assistant will access the phone’s camera to scan the user’s face.
Using artificial intelligence, the app identifies the makeup applied to the user’s face and assesses the uniformity and boundaries of application and coverage.
If there are suggested areas to touch up, the virtual assistant identifies them and makes audible recommendations so the user can refine their look. After the user’s touch up, the app scans the user’s face another time and provides feedback on the accuracy of the application of touch ups.
