Banuba TINT vs Perfect Corp. AI Makeup Virtual Try-On API

Banuba TINT is a hosted, no-code virtual try-on widget for online shops and in-store AR mirrors. It applies AR cosmetics to a shopper’s live camera view or an uploaded photo in a browser. Makeup includes 13 types plus lashes, and shoppers can combine as many as nine products in a look. Other try-on categories include skincare, eyewear, contact lenses, hair dye, headwear, and jewelry. Face tracking uses 3,308 vertices, while seasonal color analysis sorts catalog products by shopper color type. Merchants can install the app on Shopify, add it to other stores with one script tag, or use it with WooCommerce and in-store mirrors. Products are managed in the TINT admin or uploaded by CSV; Banuba says digitization is free. The white-label widget supports eight languages. Banuba says camera processing happens live in the shopper’s browser and generated data is not collected or retained. TINT directs shoppers to the merchant’s checkout and does not handle payment, returns, or shipping. Basic costs $49 a month; Pro is $99 a month and Smart is $349 a month. Each includes a 14-day free trial.

Perfect Corp. AI Makeup Virtual Try-On API applies customizable makeup effects to user-provided selfie images. Its rendering uses 3D face AI and facial tracking that adapts to lighting, with matching for real-world product colors, textures, and finishes. Requests can specify makeup categories, patterns, colors, textures, and intensity. Supported product types include blush, concealer, eyeliner, eyebrows, foundation, lip color, skin smoother, bronzer, contour, eyeshadow, eyelashes or mascara, highlight, and lip liner. The REST API processes tasks asynchronously: send an image and effects, receive a task ID, then check for the result or an error. Images can come from a public URL or an uploaded file; supported files are JPG, JPEG, or PNG under 10 MB, with a long side below 1,920 pixels and a detected face width of at least 100 pixels. Each V1.0 task uses one unit. Developers can register for a YouCam API account for free, then purchase or subscribe for units; pricing is on request. Integration options include websites, e-commerce platforms, iOS and Android apps, applets, and mini-programs. Requests require a Bearer token API key. Perfect Corp. says uploaded photos for cloud processing are deleted from its server after the service completes.
