"ModiFace's Augmented Reality allows us to seamlessly bring the in-store experience of trying on a lipstick to our consumers -- whether they're shopping from their living rooms or on-the-go. It's a simple and fun way for women to effortlessly explore our wide shade and formula range in lipsticks before they purchase, allowing consumers to have fun with AR and make a decision with confidence," said Laurie Rifkin, Executive Director of Ecommerce at Bobbi Brown Cosmetics.
