We hope we make people’s lives a little easier.”
Powered by Modiface AI and developed in collaboration with the Geena Davis Institute, Maybelline aims to provide users with a range of looks to best suit their meetings, while allowing them to explore different makeup looks they might not have otherwise tried out. Consider this your “virtual makeup bag,” equipped with all the must-have digital makeup products for our increasingly digital world.

The virtual makeup looks will be available as an option in Teams video calls starting
today to those with a Microsoft Teams enterprise license. “At Microsoft, empowering people through technology is at the core of what we do,” said Nicole Herskowitz, Vice President, Microsoft Teams. “The new Maybelline Beauty App on Microsoft Teams is a great example of how, together with our partners, we are giving people more ways to express themselves in hybrid work environments using the power of AI.”
