Sephora Virtual Artist Is Here!

[KatieBT]

Happy Friday, BeautyTalk!

Sephora has a very exciting launch you may have gotten a sneak peek of on our Snapstory the other day: Sephora Virtual Artist! 

In case you haven't heard, Sephora Virtual Artist just launched and allows you to try on, no joke, THOUSANDS of lip shades from anywhere. It's super easy to use and pretty addicting once you start swatching because you can compare multiple shades and even share your favorites. Best part is you're trying on TONS of shades without having to clean off all the pigment in between swatches 🙂

Here's how to use Sephora Virtual Artist:

• Step 1: Head to our app and scroll to the bottom or head to http://www.sephoravirtualartist.com/
• Step 2: If you're on the site you'll need to take or upload a photo (well-lit and high res is best!) and confirm where your lips are outlined.
• Step 3: Start playing around! You can pick from lipsticks and glosses, filter your preferences, try on according to shade family.
• Step 4: Compare! You can compare four shades at once. 
• Step 5: Share! Once you've picked 4 lip colors you can save the image, share it with friends or upload to your social media accounts (Instagram for the app and Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and email from the site). 

Oh and, of course, feel free to share your favorite lip shades here on BeautyTalk. You wouldn't buy a lipstick without asking your community first if it looked fierce, right? Didn't think so 😉

You can upload any photo, lips or whole face. I uploaded a pic of my whole body and the app knew to crop into my face.
