Privacy & local processing

Your facial data is processed locally on your device. No face images are sent to remote servers. Your privacy is protected by design.

Why Velvet?

Seasonal color analysis is the key to a harmonious style, but consulting an expert is expensive and online guides are unreliable. Velvet democratizes color analysis with artificial intelligence: in seconds, the app determines your season (Deep Winter, Soft Autumn, Bright Spring, etc.) and generates a personalized color palette for makeup, clothing and accessories. The virtual try-on lets you test hundreds of lipstick, foundation and eyeshadow shades directly on your face in real time.

The Magic Wand AI goes even further: simply describe a look ('vampire look for evening', 'fresh makeup for brunch') and Velvet creates a complete proposal that respects your seasonal palette. Each look comes with a Look Recipe featuring step-by-step instructions to reproduce it in real life, and the Lighting Studio lets you check the result under daylight, candlelight, office lighting or nightclub ambiance. On the privacy side, all facial data stays on your device. Velvet is free with an optional Velvet Pro subscription (weekly, monthly or annual, with a 3-day free trial) to unlock the full set of premium features.

In brief

How does Velvet determine your seasonal colour palette?

Velvet uses the front camera to analyse 3 skin tone dimensions: undertone (warm, cool, neutral), depth (light, medium, deep), and contrast between skin, eyes, and hair. An AI model trained on over 50,000 portraits labelled by 4 professional colour analysts then classifies the user into one of the 12 extended seasons — 4 main seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter) with 3 sub-types per season (light, warm/cool, deep). Analysis takes 4 to 8 seconds depending on lighting quality, and Velvet offers a built-in Lighting Studio with 4 presets — natural, fluorescent, warm, cool — to compare results under different conditions. The output includes a personal palette of 16 clothing colours and 8 makeup colours, fully exportable.

What can you do with Velvet's result?

Once the seasonal palette is determined, Velvet offers 3 concrete tools. First, real-time virtual makeup try-on: lipsticks, eyeshadows, foundations are projected onto the face using the personalised palette, with a catalogue of over 200 cosmetic products indexed by brand and shade. Second, the Magic Wand AI generates full looks — hair, makeup, mood — from a keyword like "office", "date night", "beach". Third, Look Recipe breaks each result into 5 to 8 text steps with matching products. Velvet is available on iOS, free with monthly quotas (5 analyses, 20 virtual try-ons), and runs image processing locally whenever possible — no face photo is retained on the servers.
