Interactive Online Makeover Tool, developed by Ezface.com, will enable L'Oreal customers to apply cosmetics on photograph of their face through several L'Oreal brand sites in August, L'Oreal says. Users who send a digital photo to participating brand sites can retrieve photo and test makeup online with password. Consumer testing of EZ Face technology found it improves consumer education, strengthens brand loyalty, increases site traffic and stimulates purchases, firm says. Technology debuted for L'Oreal during Cannes film festival in May and is launching with L'Oreal Paris in June.
