Magic Mirror on the... In the Make Up Department?

When shopping for make up do you ever wish you could try the products before you buy? 

See what the lipsticks, eyeshadows or blusher look like on your face before parting with your pennies?

Thanks to Shiseido, now you can.

Shiseido’s Magic Mirror is a completely unique virtual make-up application  mirror/computer that captures the movement and expressions of your face in real time.

The revolutionary technology identifies and scans your facial features, allowing you to try the latest make-up trends, allowing you to chose from a range of their cheek, eye  and  lip colours.

I have tried this mirror out for myself and it is actually amazing, if not a slightly bizarre experience. (You will sit there staring at your own face for a long time let me tell you!)
