To do this, my team in collaboration with marketing concepted a tool meant to lead customers to the lipstick best suited for them. Using simple guided selling principles and high impact imagery, consumers were able to easily discover the perfect lipstick for them.

Omni-Focused Approach
The discovery phase of this project involved understanding how beauty consumers shopped for lipstick, even offline. User research and guidance from Marketing and Sales on their in-store retail strategies helped narrow the digital experience into three very simple selections:

2) Finish
3) Formula/Benefits
SIMPLE
Mobile-first experience
For ease of use, and the goal of working optimally on mobile, the experience was stremalined with very few options and screens. Large clickable areas supported by vibrant on brand imagery created an immersion that enticed users to proceed.
