Instant Video: Is This the New Face of Walmart Beauty Departments?

Written by Field Agent | Nov 14, 2017

At least one Walmart beauty department is enjoying a fancy makeover these days.

The Tillman’s Corner Walmart in Mobile, Alabama is currently boasting some impressive new technology.

  • A virtual reality makeup mirror, ModiFace, that lets customers “try on” cosmetic shades prior to purchasing them
  • A “tester strip” nail polish station where shoppers can apply different colors to their nails—without the usual mess or inconvenience
  • Touchscreens and “help buttons” that blend the best of brick-and-mortar with the best of ecommerce

 

All this innovation, of course, begs the question: Is this the new face of Walmart’s beauty departments?
