JCPenney Brings Artificial Intelligence to the Makeup Counter

The retailer will offer AI- and AR-based skincare experiences

Nearly two years after beauty retailer Sephora pulled up stakes at JCPenney and defected to Kohl’s, the 120-year-old department store is launching its own digital makeup and skincare experiences.

In a new partnership with Revieve, a brand experience platform that uses artificial intelligence and augmented reality (AR), JCPenney will offer an AI-powered skincare adviser and AR-powered makeup try-ons.

The new skincare adviser tool uses customers’ selfies to provide personalized skincare routines and make product recommendations. Shoppers can also take advantage of Revieve’s skin diagnostics technology by answering a questionnaire about their skin type and concerns.

The technology comes after the launch of the department store’s branded counters, called JCPenney Beauty, offering more than 170 products.
