Company Description

Tool to increase conversions and reduce returns for the beauty industry Have you ever tried to purchase something online and when it arrived, it was the wrong color? Imagine trying to shop online for a product that is meant to be the same color as your skin, but when you open the package it's not even close - making you lose all confidence in your purchase. That's the problem with trying to find your foundation color online. Finding the perfect color is such a problem that over 3 million people search "how to match my foundation" and other related inquiries on Google alone.MIME created its first product, a foundation shade finder, to solve this problem. The shade finder asks the shopper a few questions, asks them to upload a photo of their face, and then aims to provide the most accurate shade match for any makeup brand. MIME's shade finder is so accurate that we recently increased a major European retailer's purchase conversion rate by 5x in a 20-day period. MIME has attracted attention from major brands and retailers around the world, while also replacing many competitor solutions due to its accuracy and plug & play ease of integration. MIME has major investments from a leading European retailer, Cult Beauty Ltd (like an online Sephora for Europe) and their executive team.
