Smart Skin Detection Instrument for Liquid Foundation
An LED device incorporated into a liquid foundation bottle, which helps the user to create an optimal application result. The device is crafted with a retractable skin sensor to detect moisture levels in the skin, which are then transmitted to a user’s smartphone via NFC communication, by tapping the phone on the foundation’s cap. Transmission of the data is confirmed by an audible beep. Guided by the skin hydration levels communicated to the app, the user is then directed to apply foundation appropriately in order to optimize its adherence and finish, with the hydration analysis device ultimately enhancing makeup application. The device is charged via a type C charger, and its white LED battery flashes when low.

We support both prestige and masstige segments, depending on the brand’s positioning, offering full flexibility in design, technology, and delivery systems.
