Beauty AR SDK

What is GlamAR's beauty AR SDK?

Beauty AR SDK (software development kit) is a complete toolkit that allows you to add an advanced augmented reality (AR) beauty functionality to your apps. It is created to augment the face beautification and makeup virtual try-on features in real-time using AI and AR technologies. 

Using the beauty AR SDK, your customers can apply virtual makeup and engage in other cosmetic effects to themselves in real-time, on the camera of their device, on a live video, or on their photos. It also includes the virtual makeup features such as lipstick, eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, and contouring. 

These effects are processed in real-time by the SDK so that the digital beautification appears natural and moves with the facial expressions and the movement of the head. To illustrate this, in any beauty e-commerce application, the customers will be able to apply beauty AR SDK to virtually apply various lipstick colors or change their skin color without applying any makeup on their faces in real-time.

Benefits of GlamAR's beauty AR SDK

The beauty AR SDK can enhance both your beauty store and customers. Here are six benefits of using GlamAR's beauty AR SDK. 

1. Realistic try-ons

People who use it see makeup that moves and looks like real makeup. This real-time experience lets your clients try on different looks. This realism helps people believe your brand and increases sales by letting them see products before they buy them.

2. Personalization via AI skin analysis

The SDK uses AI to look at different skin tones and types and suggest items that will work for them. Your user will get a personalized service, which makes product decisions more useful and enjoyable. This will lead to turning your consumers into loyal ones because the suggestions feel more personal and well-thought-out.

3. Usable across devices and platforms

GlamAR delivers a seamless, uniform experience whether on smartphones, tablets, in-store mirrors, or web platforms. This broad coverage enables your brand to reach a larger audience regardless of their shopping locations, enhancing brand awareness and exposure.

4. Integration & customization options

Our beauty SDK can be integrated into other apps or websites by developers and brands. Customization options allow your brand to maintain its own identity and have the virtual beauty experience, which becomes genuine to the style and voice of the brand.

5. Reduces product returns

When customers are sure of how products fit them, there is a lower chance of them returning products. With GlamAR beauty SDK can boost your customer satisfaction through the experience they had while assessing your beauty products through a realistic virtual try-on option. And once satisfaction is obtained, there is no need to return the product.

6. Boosts engagement and conversion

An immersive AR experience can raise user engagement, which results in smart conversions. There is a longer time at the point of product exploration, and this results in informed buying and larger shopping carts.

How to get started

You can add the AR SDK with GlamAR by following the below steps. These few steps will help you add the magic of virtual try-on to your app or site:

Step 1: Select your plan

Choose the package that suits your business in size. Start simple and start with the basic plan, and grow along with your product list.

Step 2: Place your product data ready

Make images and shade each makeup product of high quality. The more realistic the virtual try-on will appear, the better the inputs.

Step 3: Use the SDK

The SDK can be implemented in your store by asking your web or app developer. It operates with websites, mobile applications, and even retail kiosks. 

Step 4: Change how it looks

Change the colors, buttons, and style of the interface to make it your own. Integrate it so that it becomes something natural to your store, and not a side product.

Step 5: See how it goes

Feel free to try it on different platforms. Examine it to see how customers will be able to switch products.

Step 6: Launch and track results

Go live and track performance. Use the information to compare what shades customers attempt the most and restock accordingly, or change campaigns.

The future of beauty AR SDK

The beauty AR SDK is rapidly turning into an essential part of digital beauty. The future is about more intelligent personalization, social commerce, and growth based on data.

1. Smarter personalization with AI

Beauty AR SDK will not be limited to shade previews. In the future, the systems will be able to recommend appearances, according to skin color, undertones, and even the color of clothing. AI will suggest complete-day routines such as morning, office, and evening looks, and will make the decisions quicker on the part of customers. AI personalization will likely grow in these directions but not standard yet.

2. Seamless omnichannel experience

The customers will want the same flow in trying on websites, mobile applications, social media, and in-store kiosks. All these touchpoints will be united by SDKs. An in-store look will save instantly on mobile to enable the customer to look later at home.

3. Deep social commerce links

The role of social media will be larger. Try-ons will be connected with instant purchases. A client who tries a shade of lipstick on Instagram or TikTok will purchase it at the touch of a button. AR-powered filters will cause influencer campaigns to stimulate direct sales.

4. Strong real-time analytics

Beauty AR SDK will provide sophisticated results. Brands will monitor best-tested shades, drop-off locations, and purchase triggers in real-time as time goes on. Such information will support campaigns, better inventory planning, and launching products with better success rates.

5. Sustainability at the core

Virtual testers will continue to diminish the use of physical testers. This reduces wastage and makes the stores more sanitary. AR try-on is the cleaner, greener alternative that customers will choose. In the case of brands, it implies reduced expenses and enhanced sustainability communications.

6. Expanded beauty coverage

SDKs today focus on lipstick, blush, and eyeshadow. The other wave will include foundation, skin analysis, nails, and even hair color. The customers will be trying a full beauty appearance in a single smooth section. There will be improved basket value and cross-sell possibilities to the brands.
