Show HN: I built an AR App that overlays makeup tutorials live on your face

Hi Hacker News,

I built UR Artist: AR Makeup Studio after seeing my girlfriend struggling to apply makeup outside with her tiny mirror and bad lighting. I thought to myself, that it would be really cool to have the mirror tell her exactly where and how to apply the makeup she wants. So the app was born ;). I would really love to get some feedback on how you guys see the app's functionality and where I could improve it

Hi everyone, I am really looking forward to some feedback on the current AR tutorials and the other features of the app like the AI Stylist that curates looks and personalizes them!

The app seems interesting but I would like to understand how you solved the challenges of makeup application on different face forms since it’s a very important aspect to make it not only a gimmick but a really useful tool!

Yes, that's exactly why I need good feedback from the community! I have solved this by having the app draw the application lines live 60 times per second and no fixed stencils. It was a lot of work figuring out the perfect vertices, especially in regards to eyemakeup
