Industry Solution

Beauty & Cosmetics Stores

Beauty shoppers are visual. They choose products by shade, finish, and packaging — not by ingredient lists. Visual AI surfaces similar products the way a knowledgeable beauty advisor would, driving larger baskets and complete routines.

Challenges for Beauty Retailers

Shade matching drives purchase decisions. A customer buying a warm-toned foundation wants bronzer, blush, and lip colour in the same colour family. Standard "frequently bought together" recommendations are driven by crowd behaviour, not the individual shopper's palette — and they often miss the mark entirely.

Complete routine discovery is the real revenue opportunity. Skincare and makeup shoppers buy in routines, but most stores show individual products in isolation. Recommending the serum alongside the moisturiser that shares the same texture and packaging aesthetic drives basket sizes that single-product views never will.

Traditional Recommendations

  • • Bestsellers regardless of shade
  • • Same category without colour matching
  • • Purchase history only
  • • No finish or texture awareness

simage Visual Recommendations

  • • Matches by shade and colour family
  • • Recognises finish (matte, gloss, shimmer)
  • • Groups by texture and formula type
  • • Surfaces complete routine products

Visual AI for Beauty

Shade & Colour Matching

Warm nudes, cool berries, deep plums — the AI reads colour from product imagery and recommends within the same palette family, so every suggestion feels intentional.

Palette-accurate surfacing

Finish Recognition

Matte, satin, glossy, metallic, shimmer — each finish appeals to a different customer. The AI keeps recommendations within the customer's preferred finish profile.

Finish-consistent recommendations

Texture & Formula Awareness

Lightweight serums stay with other serums. Rich creams connect to balms and butters. The AI reads product texture from packaging and description cues to group by formula type.

Routine-ready groupings

Packaging Aesthetic Matching

Clean, minimal skincare brands share a visual language. Maximalist, colourful cosmetics attract a different buyer. The AI groups by brand aesthetic so recommendations feel curated, not random.

Brand-coherent suggestions
