AI in Beauty: How AI-Generated Models Transform Skincare & Makeup Marketing

Like most people on the internet, we used to be skeptical about using AI in beauty. We worried that AI-generated images wouldn’t accurately reflect the real impact of a skincare product or showcase the right shade on different skin tones.

But after interviewing consumers and brand owners, we realized something surprising: many saw AI models as no different from the perfectly staged images of human models—who don’t actually use those beauty products daily anyway.

So, we decided to explore use cases for AI in beauty shoots, using inspiration shots and recreating them with our AI model generator, Caimera. Here’s what we discovered:

1. Aesthetic Product Application Shots
