“This partnership adds a new dimension to Coty’s digital journey, incorporating some of the best augmented and virtual reality technologies that will help the full portfolio of our brands unlock the best digital user experience and, as a result, help advance social selling,” Coty chief digital officer, Jean-Denis Mariani said. “It is key for us as a leader in beauty to select the right technology partners that will help our consumers discover, try and shop for our brands, online and offline, in the most personalized and easiest ways possible.

In addition, through this partnership the companies will work together to enrich the in-store shopping experience with touchless product experiences, the companies said.

Imagine opening a livestreaming session with your favorite makeup brand, and during it discovering a new lipstick through your preferred influencer, trying the product on virtually from your sofa, and seamlessly going to check out – all without ever clicking out of the livestream. This is what we are working on, Coty and Perfect Corp. We will introduce exciting first-to-market innovations and advanced brand tools across all channels, seamlessly integrating augmented reality, virtual try-on, social selling, data-driven personalization, and more,” Mariani said.
