"This lets beauty lovers play and experiment with new makeup looks - without having to apply physical products," adds Arguelles. "As the camera becomes the main interface for how people capture, communicate, search, and shop - brands investing in AR experiences today will be prepared for the changes in consumer behavior already upon us and those still evolving."Īrguelles adds by integrating brands' product catalogs with Snapchat, brands like MAC can build AR beauty lenses from AR shopping templates and publish them to Snapchat. "We believe it is the most powerful, future-proof way for brands to engage with shoppers," said Arguelles. "AR try-on can be used as a utility to power product consideration and purchase, so millions of people can 'try-on' and consider specific products they might like - without having to go into a store."Īrguelles says that shopping on Snapchat starts with the camera. "Augmented reality lets you try on digital versions of real-life products to see what they look like in a virtual environment," said Arguelles.

"Instead, Snapchatters can see products on themselves, determine if it's the right style and fit, ask their friends for advice, and tap to purchase, all within Snapchat," said Arguelles.
