Helping beauty consultants recommend the perfect make-up for women everywhere

Despite a legacy of endorsement by Hollywood stars, Max Factor needs to fight for attention in make-up aisles crowded with brands, colours and products. 

Beauty consultants are on the front line. They need a tool that encourages women to try new make-up products while inspiring their make-up artistry skills.

Our solution: Perfect Colour, a retail iPad application that matches a customer’s skin tone to the ideal make-up choice for their complexion. An engaging way to give Max Factor a fresh, in-store advantage – and a blessing for beauty consultants.
