What does Google say?

Google blog post says “ If you are shopping for beauty products, it’s difficult to make a decision on such personal items without trying them on. Say you want to know how sheer a lip gloss is, how much pigment is in an eyeshadow or what a product will look like on your skin tone, it can be difficult to understand these things without seeing the products up close”.

Google blog post further illustrates it with an example saying “ Find the perfect nude lip by searching for MAC Powder Kiss Lipstick and quickly trying each shade in the collection”.
