static photo) directly through the app.


“Estée Lauder is excited to announce this partnership with YouCam –
their first beauty venture in the UK,” explains Chris Good, President,
United Kingdom & Ireland The Estée Lauder Companies. “As a brand we no
longer just sell lipstick. We offer the consumer a unique experience –
and YouCam gives us the opportunity to bring innovative technology and a
real digital first concept to the makeup loving millennial. And there is
no better place to bring technology, social engagement and beauty
together than at Selfridges and at our Carnaby Street store.”

“YouCam Makeup is honoured to partner with the iconic beauty brand,
Estée Lauder, to deliver a one-of-a-kind instore beauty experience to
their UK market,” said Perfect Corp. CEO, Alice Chang. “The seamless
integration of YouCam’s virtual instore magic mirrors elevates the
beauty shopping experience to a new realm inviting customers to play and

collection in a matter of seconds. Together with Estée Lauder UK, we are
able to provide the ultimate in store shopping experience of the future.”

consumers how to download and use the YouCam app allowing them to
immediately try on every Pure Colour LOVE lipstick shade across the

This is a true omni-channel experience demonstrating how mobile can
drive traffic to services in store.

central to the evolution of beauty retail. As a beauty tool, YouCam
offers a service that is fun, shareable and genuinely useful; we’re
delighted Estee Lauder is bringing this future-gazing partnership to our
