Pixel perfect: Topshop pushes their new beauty offerings via virtual testing

Topshop has teamed up with TAAZ.com for an online makeover tool that will allow visitors to virtually try on Topshopâ€s makeup products using preloaded photos that match their skin tone and facial features or by uploading a photo of themselves. {TAAZ}

The trendy fashion retailer is right on, well, trend.

If you remember a time before everything moved online, you might have flashbacks of makeover software that offered similar tools (directly on your desktop, of course). Lately it seems fashion magazines and websites have rediscovered virtual makeover tools to keep readers more engaged. And fortunately, most tools have come a long way since Cosmo’s CDs that turned any photo into a weird, doll-like version of yourself.

Web surfers can try on celebrity hairstyles at InStyle or enjoy a free hair and make up makeover from Harpers Bazaarâ€s Web site. iVillageâ€s Makeover-O-Matic is a virtual makeover game that allows users to save looks they like in their own look book or send saved images to friends for an opinion. In our opinion, there are a few hairstyles swiped from one of those 90s CD-roms, but few programs have an end result that’s picture perfect. Glamour, Mary Kay and countless other websites give you an opportunity to test drive new hair and makeup choices. And then there are sites like Looklet and Coutourious whose entire website is dedicated to virtual fittings.

For those wondering if these online tools are worth the time, check out our break down of the pros and cons of using virtual beauty stations:

The appeal: No risk or purchase necessary.

Putting a beauty product on an uploaded photo to find it doesn’t work well with your face means no wasted money on something you’ll never wear. If you try a hairstyle and hate it, there’s no counting the months before it grows out or, in the case of time consuming evening styles, scrambling to get hair back to normal before going out. One click and those bangs that weren’t as cute as you thought, or lipstick that washes you out are cleared away. In addition, all of the tools are free to use.

The limitations: Talking to a stylist or beautician in person about what works best may yield better results. For starters, think about all of the pictures you’ve taken. Inevitably you have favorites where the light made your skin glow, or you looked at the camera in just the right way. Then there are the ones that leave you insisting an evil, strange looking photo double shows up in your pictures from time to time. That’s to say, you look completely different than your normal, gorgeous self. Assuming you’re basing your makeup choices and hairstyle on that super flattering shot, will the options still look the same when you don’t get the right angle or lighting? For makeup, web makeover users may not think to even try certain products that would look great, and creating hairstyles online has its own downsides.

Canadian stylist Arran Elliot said she prefers consultations the old fashioned way – in person – so she can feel a clientâ€s hair texture and see their face up close. “Doing colour is like painting the hair, and sculpting is like framing the face,” she says. {Ottawa Citizen}

Online hairstyling tools don’t always take into account hair type and texture, so a customer may show a stylist a printed photo of themselves from a virtual hair makeover site and end up with a cut that falls flat. Add to that the many variations in photos, even among the same person, and there’s a good chance that reality doesn’t match what you’ve pictured.

The verdict: Online makeover tools are great, especially to avoid wasting money on unused beauty products, but makeup counters and live hairstylists don’t have anything to fear just yet.

The spray also doubles as a detangler after washing and before blow drying. It promises to be a great secret to cut down on morning styling time and improve the overall look of hair.
