The Future of Beauty: Can AI solve the standardisation Problem?

The Future of Beauty with AI Personalisation

Imagine you go into a shop, you walk into a face recognition device, you scan your face, and in few seconds, you get full recommendation list of skin and make up products from anti-wrinkle and hydration cremes to concealers and eye shadows. The screen will analyse your face, the depth of your wrinkles, your skin colours, and stores through face recognition your allergy information to any chemicals.

The device then shows you how your face will look like with these products, and you can add or remove more as you wish (as if you were using snapchat filters). The device will show you the prices of the products, and you can set up a budget of how much you want to spend. The device will adapt the combination of products to meet your budget. Instead of the ‘Before’ and ‘Now’, the screen will show you a comparison of your face ‘Now’, and ‘To-Be’. It goes a step further and gives you a schedule of when and how frequent is best for you to use the face creams, and when is the next time you need to buy this products. It would also analyse if any of these products have any side effect, list these, and recommends alternative products, particularly if any of products conflict with each other, to ensure the health balance of your skin. You decide to buy, then go a step further, and set up a schedule to get your refills while adapting the formulas as you age.
