Building Personalized Beauty with APIs: Inside the LashLovr Experience

On this episode of The Beautiful AI Podcast, we’re joined by Lisa Stroud Westhafer, Founder of True Beauty Lashes, to explore how AI-powered personalization is transforming the way consumers discover and shop for beauty products.

Lisa shares the inspiration behind launching LashLovr™, a personalized lash recommendation experience powered by AI and augmented reality. By integrating Perfect Corp.’s Virtual Try-On and Face Analyzer APIs, True Beauty Lashes has created a seamless, high-impact shopping journey that helps consumers visualize and find their perfect lash match in real time.

We dive into the consumer pain points that inspired the innovation—particularly the challenge of lash fit—and how AI is helping to eliminate guesswork, increase confidence, and drive more meaningful engagement at the point of purchase. Lisa also shares her journey as a founder, her perspective on building a brand rooted in personalization, and her advice for female entrepreneurs navigating the evolving beauty and tech landscape.
