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.
