CES 2023: L’Oréal is helping those with limited mobility apply lipstick
At CES 2023, L’Oréal unveiled two new devices that solve some very different problems.
HAPTA is a machine that helps people with limited hand and arm mobility apply lipstick, and L’Oréal Brow Magic is an electronic eyebrow makeup applicator that gives you customized brow looks in seconds.
Guive Balooch, the lead innovator and head of L’Oréal’s technology incubator, told Mashable at CES 2023 that the HAPTA machine is comparable to the spoons that help people with limited mobility eat on their own.
“People that could never eat on their own, could eat on their own,” Balooch said. “And their community [wanted] something similar to use for makeup. A lot of times in my career, I’ve done things that push, but this one was really pull.”
HAPTA is a handheld smart makeup applicator that offers people who live with limited fine motor skills the ability to steadily apply lipstick at home by using technology created by Verily Life Sciences. It works by combining motion controls and customizable attachments to stabilize and level the lipstick itself as the user brings it closer to their mouth. HAPTA — which was piloted with L’Oréal-owned Lancôme — comes with a magnetic attachment, a built-in battery, and the ability for the user to rotate the lipstick 360 degrees.
“For L’Oréal, the future of beauty is inclusive. And this future will be made more accessible by technology,” Nicolas Hieronimus, the CEO of the L’Oréal Groupe, said in a press release. “The two consumer technologies we are unveiling this year at CES represent the true purpose of our company: to create the beauty that moves the world.”

L’Oréal also introduced Brow Magic at CES 2023, a beautiful and innovative product that involves quite a different set of technology than the HAPTA. Brow Magic, developed by L’Oréal and Prinker, is a handheld device that uses AI to give you the perfect brow. You use it by scanning your face on the L’Oréal Brow Magic app, choosing the shape, thickness, and effect of the brow you’d like, brushing L’Oréal Brow Magic primer over your eyebrows, moving the device across your skin, and then applying a top coat to finish it all off. It has two conical elements — one you hold and the other you press to your face — which use 2,400 tiny nozzles to print eyebrows onto you in a matter of seconds. They’re essentially non-permanent tattoos that you can remove after a day or two with makeup remover.
Both HAPTA and Brow Magic are expected to launch in 2023.
L’Oréal created a motorized lipstick applicator for people with limited mobility
L’Oréal has returned to CES to unveil two makeup devices. HAPTA is a handheld, motorized applicator that the company created for people with limited hand and arm mobility. L’Oréal’s Lancôme brand will pilot the system this year with a lipstick applicator. Support for more makeup applications is in the works.
HAPTA is based on tech from Alphabet-owned Verily that levels utensils and keeps them stable to help people with limited hand and arm mobility eat independently. The system has smart motion controls and customizable attachments to enable precise application with the help of 360 degrees of rotation and 180 degrees of flexion, L’Oréal says.
The attachments are connected magnetically, with users being able to click them into place. The company added that HAPTA allows for “increased ease of use for difficult-to-open packaging.” Users will get an hour of use out of a single charge, which should be good for 10 or more applications, according to L’Oréal. It’ll take three hours to fully recharge the battery.
“For years, Lancôme has sought to provide every woman with beauty solutions adapted to their needs. Beauty tech has enabled us to fulfill this mission in an even more powerful way, revolutionizing the way we develop beauty products and services and enabling greater personalization,” Françoise Lehmann, global brand president of Lancôme, said in a statement. “With HAPTA we are going one step further by making beauty more accessible to use, because everyone should have equal access to it.”
L’Oréal had another makeup applicator to show off as well. It says that L’Oréal Brow Magic can help folks to achieve a personalized eyebrow look based on their facial features and natural brow.
To create the handheld device, L’Oréal worked with a company called Prinker, which offers printed, temporary tattoos. L’Oréal Brow Magic has 2,400 small nozzles and a printing resolution of up to 1,200 drops per inch. It can seemingly apply a precise brow shape in seconds. Standard remover will take the makeup off.
L’Oréal says the system is based on its Modiface AR technology. Users will need to scan their face using an app and choose their desired shape, thickness and effect — the app will offer microblading, micro-shading and filler recommendations. After the user applies a primer, they’ll need to sweep the device across their eyebrow in a single motion, then add a topcoat. L’Oréal Brow Magic should be available later this year.
