Leveraging YouCam Apps unique big data from over 350 million downloads and 140 million Beauty Circle users, the study identifies and segments people into twelve different selfie-personalities.

New York, New York— November 01, 2016 — Selfie culture is here to stay. In fact, the word “selfie” grew in popularity by 17,000 percent since 2012 and even gained a permanent spot in the Merriam-Webster dictionary in 2014. According to Perfect Corp., whose suite of augmented reality beauty apps has amounted over 350 million downloads globally, women spend 500 million minutes every month using the apps’ selfie cam and have taken over 10 billion selfies since the apps launch, two years ago. To better understand the selfie obsession, Perfect Corp. conducted an in-depth study identifying selfie behaviors, motivations and personalities. The study uncovered 12 different selfie personas, proving that selfie-takers are not one-size fits all.

Selfie Personas Snapshot
Whether it’s a selfie with your beau, a classic duck-face, or a snap with your favorite rescue pup, each one inspires self-expression, empowerment, and experimentation. The twelve selfie personas identified by Perfect Corp. include: My Squad, Funny Face, Family, Party Girl, Gen Z, Girl Power, Animal Lover, Forever Young, Flirty, Vacationer, Dare Devil and Romantic. 

Some of the most interesting selfie insights revealed through the study include:
      。Gen Z’ers are more selective sharers, sharing 40% fewer selfies than Millennials 
      。My Squad selfie-takers take 4 times as many photos as the average YouCam user
      。Party Girl type take more selfies on Wednesday nights than the average user
      。10 percent of Animal Lovers have tried out makeup filters on their pets
      。Vacationers make the least amount of edits to their selfies because… #nofilterneeded
      。Romantic people take the most romantic selfies on Sunday

One commonality unveiled regarding all selfie personas is their passion for lipstick. In fact, within the YouCam Makeup app:
      。Lipstick is the most tried-on feature with 1.5 million virtual try-ons daily
      。Sunday from 7:00 – 9:00PM is the most popular time to try on lipsticks
      。Women try on matte lipstick two times more than glossy lipstick
      。Red lip colors are a favorite across all U.S. cities

“Our new study supports Perfect Corp.’s mission to help users discover endless beauty inspiration and express themselves through the art of selfie-taking, no matter their persona,” says Alice Chang, Founder and CEO of Perfect Corp. “We are thrilled that over 350 million people have used our apps for exactly that and are proud to be the number one interactive beauty platform, offering a unique and comprehensive journey.”

Century City, CA— August 19, 2016 —Paul Mitchell is giving consumers the chance to get creative with their hair color, commitment-free. The brand will kick-off a partnership with YouCam Makeup this month that allows consumers the opportunity to virtually try-on a vast assortment of shades from their professional hair color range.  Paul Mitchell is the first hair care brand to be featured on the leading beauty app, and the use of consumer-facing, virtual makeover technology is a first for the brand as well. 

“Hair color isn’t ‘one-size fits all,’ and we’re thrilled to join forces with Perfect Corp. and You Cam Makeup to ease the intimidation that can sometimes come with a potential hair color change,” said Michaeline DeJoria, Vice Chairman at John Paul Mitchell Systems.  “Our salon partners are so important to us, and in addition to consumers, we view this as an invaluable tool for Paul Mitchell hair stylists, helping to drive sales of hair color services,” added DeJoria-Heydari.

YouCam Makeup users will have the opportunity to “try-on” a wide selection of Paul Mitchell Professional Hair Color shades, and then locate a salon nearby to bring the desired shade to life. Utilizing YouCam Makeup’s precise instant hair mapping technology and unmatched natural color layering, the app delivers true-to-life hair color, helping users visualize hair color transformations before committing to a color change—whether used for fun at-home, or with a stylist during a consultation. 

The upgraded app featuring Paul Mitchell Professional Hair Color and new capabilities will officially be unveiled to the company’s vast network of professional stylists at its bi-annual Gathering event August 14th – 16th in Las Vegas. In addition to live demos, John Paul Mitchell Systems will promote the partnership across all consumer and professional facing Paul Mitchell channels including social media, websites and e-distribution channels. The app will further be supported by their professional network through salon communication, dedicated tip cards and video content.

“We are thrilled to provide even more virtual makeover possibilities to our users by bringing Paul Mitchell’s superior hair color collection to YouCam Makeup,” said Alice H. Chang, CEO of Perfect Corp. “Paul Mitchell’s trusted and reliable products complement YouCam Makeup’s augmented reality makeover technology, creating a true-to-life hairstyling experience in our virtual salon that helps consumers select the right hair color quickly and easily.”

The colors highlighted will offer something for everyone, with shades ranging from blondes, to reds and browns, to vivid pink and blue; all aligning with a variety of Paul Mitchell Professional Hair Color formulas, including NEW POP XG and The Demi lines, as well as Paul Mitchell the Color, The Color XG and PM SHINES.  A consultation icon is built into to the app to support each color swatch, linking users directly to Paul Mitchell’s Salon Locator, where they can make an appointment to bring their virtual makeover to life.

Paul Mitchell Professional Color will be available for “try-on” with the YouCam Makeup app beginning August 10th, 2016; YouCam Makeup is available for free in the App Store and through Google Play.

Launched in cooperation with Perfect Corp, new software enables digital makeup experimentation using realistic facial-recognition technology. Sign up through the YouCam Makeup app for a limited time free download.

Taipei, Taiwan — August 9, 2016 —CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), the global consumer multimedia software leader, and Perfect Corp, maker of the world’s #1 beauty app YouCam Makeup and creator of a complete interactive beauty journey, today jointly unveiled a brand new software product aimed at augmenting the workflow of makeup artists through the application of flawlessly realistic digital makeup.

With hyper-accurate face detection able to capture more than 100 facial feature points and pixel-perfect facial mapping, MakeupDirector is able to precisely apply an extensive selection of virtual makeup to faces in photos, in addition to offering advanced retouching, face slimming, sculpting and contouring.

MakeupDirector is integrated with Perfect Corps.’ Beauty Circle—an interactive community of beauty lovers and enthusiasts—enabling users to browse and download entire makeup looks, as well as share their own designs to inspire others.

As part of the launch celebrations, users who sign up to Perfect Corps.' beauty community through either YouCam Makeup or Beauty Circle can download MakeupDirector for free.

“The key to effective digital makeup is realism—it has to look 100 percent natural,” said Dr. Jau Huang, CEO of CyberLink. “MakeupDirector's unique technology and world-class design team developed a digital makeup toolkit enabling virtual application that is indistinguishable from the real thing."

“A key advantage of MakeupDirector is the ability for artists to not only browse and download thousands of complete makeup designs from Beauty Circle, but also to upload their own look designs to inspire others,” said Alice H.
