The declinaison of this device for lipstick is now available, following its presentation at the digital edition of the Consumer Electronics Show 2021, which opened on January 11. The L’Oréal group has launched the intelligent device Yves Saint Laurent Beauty Rouge sur mesure Powered by Perso, allowing consumers to make their own custom lipsticks at home. More exactly their personalized versions of YSL Velvet Cream Matte Finish lipstick, from 12 cartridges (a set of three cartridges per red, nude, orange or fuchsia color universes), thus making available to users thousands of possible nuances.

The device can contain three cartridges from the same universe, the colors of which are combined on the top to obtain the desired shade. The device lid functions as a compact case, so you can take your personalized product along with you when you go out (images below : © L’Oréal).
The device charges via USB-C and has a battery life of at least a week. The cartridges are controlled by radio-frequency identification (RFID), which allows the device to detect the inserted formula, track product consumption and order a new cartridge, when needed.

Artificial intelligence plays also a role with a dedicated application to be installed on a phone or tablet, for example to provide recommendations for lip tones coordinating with a particular outfit or to adapt the color from a daytime look to an evening look. As for the skin care and foundation versions of Perso, they will be launched this year. Watch the video presentation of Rouge sur mesure Powered by Perso for YSL Beauty below.
