AI Tells You Where to Put Blush. You Still Needed a Mirror. The Algorithm Is Not Your Mom.
A tutorial from Makeup Check AI walks users through foundation, concealer, contour, blush placement, and setting spray application with AI guidance at each step. The guide also references Clinique's Foundation Finder, an AI-powered tool that matches users to foundation shades based on undertone and coverage preferences. The Makeup Check AI app is available on both iPhone and Android.
This illustrates what I would call guided procedural personalization, if forced to use plain language. The mechanism is real-time feedback on a sequential task, replacing the human expert with a computational one. The lesson: AI excels at bounded aesthetic decisions, like shade matching, precisely because those decisions have quantifiable inputs. It struggles with taste, obviously.
Makeup Check AI published the tutorial and offers the companion app for iPhone and Android. Clinique provides the AI-powered Foundation Finder referenced in the guide.
