“Estée Lauder is excited to announce this partnership with YouCam – their first beauty venture in the UK,” explains Chris Good, President, United Kingdom & Ireland The Estée Lauder Companies. “As a brand we no longer just sell lipstick. We offer the consumer a unique experience – and YouCam gives us the opportunity to bring innovative technology and a real digital first concept to the makeup loving millennial. And there is no better place to bring technology, social engagement and beauty together than at Selfridges and at our Carnaby Street store.”

“YouCam Makeup is honoured to partner with the iconic beauty brand, Estée Lauder, to deliver a one-of-a-kind instore beauty experience to their UK market,” said Perfect Corp. CEO, Alice Chang. “The seamless integration of YouCam’s virtual instore magic mirrors elevates the beauty shopping experience to a new realm inviting customers to play and experiment with products, discovering the entire Pure Color Love lip collection in a matter of seconds. Together with Estée Lauder UK, we are able to provide the ultimate in store shopping experience of the future.”

Estée Lauder Beauty Advisors will be on-hand across locations to show consumers how to download and use the YouCam app allowing them to immediately try on every Pure Colour LOVE lipstick shade across the finishes - Ultra Mattes, Shimmer Pearls, Cooled Chromes and Edgy Crèmes. This is a true omni-channel experience demonstrating how mobile can drive traffic to services in store.

As a beauty tool, YouCam offers a service that is fun, shareable and genuinely useful; we’re delighted Estee Lauder is bringing this future-gazing partnership to our customers,” Melissa McGinnis, Selfridges Beauty Buying Manager.
