Beauty Filter

When viewing AR makeup, it is important to remember that depending on how much makeup a person has on already, the lighting, and how you have calibrated the products, the AR makeup could look unnatural. This is especially true if you only intend to use 1 product category (i.e. just lipsticks). It can stand out more on the face where there isn't AR makeup and not look as natural overall.

In those cases we often recommend creating a beauty filter, which is a set of generally neutral, subtle products that aren't meant to represent any actual products you have, but help what a user sees on a screen appear more natural.

For example, if you are displaying lipsticks and eyeshadows, you may want to also have an 'always on' beauty filter of a light foundation that smooths the skin, blusher to give some warmth, and a simple mascara or eyeliner to look more natural with the eyeshadow.

You can group multiple beauty filter products from different categories into a group or Look, and apply them individually or as a group to any/all physical products or Looks you've created.

Types of beauty filter items:

Foundation: try this first to add smoothing to skin, but not really colour so opacity set very low

Glow: not really a product type, but an effect you can apply to create a radiance, used with Foundation

Concealer/Highlighter: add brightening under eyes or around face, used with Foundation

Blusher/Bronzer: add a bit of colour/contouring to face, used with Foundation

Eyeliner/Mascara/Eyeshadow: sometimes used when displaying single eye/face/lip/Looks products to make it look more natural

Lipstick: sometimes used when displaying single face/eye/Looks products to make it look more natural
