Why? This is even more tedious than putting on normal makeup.
This appeals to people who want to look better but don't want to appear to wear makeup.

How does this appear more tedious? Unlike normal makeup, it seems to involve much less precision from the user. I imagine you could probably use it on the go, without standing in front of a mirror.

This is just concealer which is very easy to apply. Women do much more than this like mascara, blushers etc which actually require precision to apply.

It's quite a bit more sophisticated than that. Their website says the device actually mixes three different colored pigments to customize it to your face and it applies anti-aging serum at the same time. That's pretty cool. The microprinting technology is from Funai, a Japanese electronics company: https://www.i4u.com/2019/01/130609/ces-2019-funaismicrofluid...

Don't women usually choose make up to match their skin tone? This mixes it on the fly which sounds cooler, but is that really any better?
Are anti-ageing serums anything more than snake oil?

I'm sure they do but I like the idea that it's spot coverage and not all over your face. I also think that some anti-aging products actually work, at least they seem to have an effect on me. I don't believe in super complicated skincare routines that require tons of products.

I think the idea of a CORRECT make up is that you don’t really see it.

Do you by any chance happen to live in the SF Bay Area?

Different areas, different customs.
I know this is anecdata but I have several female friends who do not care for make up, except for possibly when going out to a fancy dinner or the likes. They don’t like the tedium of putting it on and wiping it off every day, so they just don’t. Some of them do semi permanent things like getting fake eyelashes and such, and just redo it every 4 weeks or whatever it may be. I reckon this type of device would probably have some appeal to that market as well.
I think it’s a really cool device, and if it works as well as advertised in the (low resolution as it may be) video then I’d probably be one of those men who is in the market for One of these. I have decent skin but a few spots I wouldn’t mind to “get rid off” but can’t be bothered with make up.
