I want to feel special and confident during Valentine’s season, but most beauty experiences feel generic and not truly about me.
Lumi-Matte Foundation Pop-Up
Consumer Tension
Experience
For our third offline activation with Maybelline New York, we launched the world’s first AI Mirror at the Valentine’s Day Pop-Up for the new Super Stay Lumi-Matte Foundation. The installation became the key attraction of the event, blending beauty technology with a memorable, emotionally charged experience.
Visitors stepped up to the AI Mirror and were guided through a personalized photo moment that placed them in a cinematic New York City scene. The AI system generated an enhanced portrait featuring each visitor above the NYC skyline, which they could instantly print and take home. This created a unique, personal keepsake while deepening their emotional connection with the brand. The activation transformed a simple pop-up interaction into a moment of self-expression and discovery.
Result
Increased visitor engagement
High volume of AI-generated printed
Significant social sharing
Strong emotional connection
