INNOVATIVE APPLIANCES TO MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR EVERYONE
…a modular beauty assistant
An eyebrow printer wasn’t the only device L’Oreal unveiled at CES. The beauty company has also announced HAPTA, to help those with limited hand and arm mobility to apply makeup. The device is a grip with a magnetic attachment, which is being piloted with Lancôme lipstick, but eyeliner or other makeup tools should be available in future. The HAPTA offers 360° of rotation and stays in position during use, with the ability to lock in customised settings. As L’Oreal states, an estimated 50 million people live with limited fine motor skills, and the HAPTA aims to give them more control.
