Cool Brand Apps; L’Oreal Paris ‘The Colour Genius’ App
Found this at Esprit Magazine Australia:
“L’Oréal Paris revealed its upcoming cosmetics launches plus a handy App (The Colour Genius) which suggests colours to match an outfit, fashion looks and ways to wear cosmetics and beauty tips to build confidence and inspire when it comes to wearing make-up.
Notable launches are Nude Magique CC Cream which adds to the BB offer by intuitively colour correcting. Targeting those with a tendency to redness the silky cream applies to the skin in an apple green shade which transforms into an ultra-light foundation that adjusts to the correct skin tone. Nude Magique also has a Blush and Power launching. In lips the hottie is Shine Caresse for those who love that just bitten stain look. It’s a silky, 30% water/60% oil formulation which isn’t sticky, doesn’t dry out and has long staying power. Eyes get a look-in with innovation in a new franchise called False Lash Mascara. Their first launch is False Lash Telescopic with micro-shredding fibres and a brush design that simulates the eyelid shape to coat every lash. Jane Slattery, Senior Brand Manager talked beauty editors through the launches. Seen here is Dorothy Grouios, Marketing Manager welcoming guests to the colour-full launch!”
