Embodiment Construction
[0029]This description pertains to a system for assisting a beauty consumer (i.e. “user”) to browse, explore, virtually try-on, and / or purchase beauty products, wherein a user starts by asking a question or request related to her beauty interests or needs. Then, based on the user's initial question or request, the system will search the Internet and its own internal database for relevant information about the product and display the results to the user. The results could be in the form of a before and after photo, a representative image, a video, a set of links, a scrolling list of entries, or any other mechanism for displaying visual search results to the user. The user can then virtually try the beauty products on her digital photo, or ask more questions via an interactive conversation with the system. The user may then purchase the selected beauty products through an e-commerce website, mobile site, or application.
