Bots can now do your eyelashes

From Superinnovators 16/02/24

US-based Luum (f.2017) built a bot that can apply eyelash extensions using narrow-AI and computer vision, launching to the public via invitation back in 2021.

The bot uses two delicate implements to isolate a single eyelash and a third adheres an extension to it, adjusting in real-time to the client’s movements.

A full set of Luum lashes is priced at £139 ($175), with refills costing £71 ($90), broadly matching manual lash application costs in the US.

The company opened its first and only studio in Oakland, California, in 2021 with a waitlist currently in operation for appointments.
