Shiseido has unveiled a new app, TeleBeauty, that will allow employees to apply virtual make-up for videoconferences, according to a report published by Nikkei.
The Japanese cosmetics manufacturer’s latest launch uses Microsoft Japan’s Skype for Business and offers four different make-up styles, with the option to adjust lip color and foundation shade. A further feature will blur the background to allow homeworkers to mask their working environment.
The app will be tested by Shiseido teleworkers and Microsoft employees first, before being rolled out in early 2017.
