CompleXion

Beauty + Healthcare Spectrophotometer

Complexion is a spectrophotometer body scanning wand designed to simplify colour matching of cosmetics to a clients skin tone. Complexion accurately captures the true colour of the targeted skin area in all lighting conditions from bright sunlight to indoor lighting, ensuring a perfect colour match. D+I was challenged by Digispectro to develop a visually distinct design language for CompleXion, optimised for usability, operability and manufacturability + highly appealing to maximise sales in major global markets (I.E. US / Asia). The photo-spectrometer scanner needed to be simplified into two hardware components: a handheld colour scanning wand + hub/docking station (calibration, charging + digital display for settings, results and client records) and demanded a strikingly intuitive UI to guide operators/clinicians to scan without any complex training.

 

SPECTROPHOTOMETER

Spectrophotometers measure transmittance and reflectance of light as a function of the wavelength of light. The wavelengths measured with a spectrophotometer extend beyond the visible range into infrared and ultraviolet regions of the electromagnetics spectrum.

SCAN

The CompleXion colour matching wand uses photospectrometer scanner to accurately measure the colour curve of the skin sample. Take a single scan in one location, or take a number of scans across multiple body part locations for an averaged result. Real-time LAB value scan results and spectro curve are shown on the hub's display.

MATCH

Match individuals scan data to external cosmetic brand libraries or boutique cosmetic manufacturer libraries (i.e. Revlon, Avon, Maybelline).

FORMULATE

No match to an existing cosmetic product? Boutique brands can utilise CompleXion to calculate a formulation of colours that will precisely match the skin - personalised cosmetic products. Operators can also manually adjust parameters of spectroflow scan data to develop new cosmetic colour ranges.

BRAND PALETTES

Download and manage a palette of colour libraries. The LAB colour profile is the default colour profile embedded in the CompleXion system. Download additional colour libraries - operators can explore a list of major cosmetics manufacturers colour palettes (i.e. Revlon, Avon, Maybelline) which can be downloaded to the device.

CUSTOM PALETTES

Brands + Boutique cosmetic brands can add their range of cosmetics colours to a personal collection by inputting LAB or RGB values, or by scanning in their bespoke range of products to create their unique colour libraries.

CLIENT PROFILES

Set-up individual client profiles and keep track of scan data. Store single scans and scan location data, or multiple scans + body part location data. Store multiple scanning sessions - track clients skin tone changes over time (1-10 scans possible per session).

 
 

Find the perfect match

Market-leading cosmetic brands and boutique brands are able to scan in their product ranges, instantly adding their palettes to the CompleXion system colour library (CompleXion Colour Cloud or local storage). Find clients the perfect match — In retail locations or branded counters in department stores, operators simply scan the clients skin, and can start recommending the best match formulations from their available ranges. Boutique cosmetics manufacturers are able to create unique colours based on Complexion scan data — the ability to create personalised cosmetics with a perfect match to an individuals skin tone in just minutes.

Multiple future applications

Applications exist outside of general cosmetics – research is currently underway exploring Complexion’s application in the analysis of skin conditions (I.E. Melasma). The team at Digispectro is currently investigating how it might be possible to advance future generations of Complexion with higher frequency sensors and additional input devices, such as electronic microscopes, for applications such as – mole mapping.
