Instant glow with ZARA virtual makeup try-on

In 2021, we introduced ZARA’s first trial of a virtual makeup try-on feature within the mini-program.

This innovative and immersive experience allowed users to visualize ZARA’s cosmetic products before making a purchase, right from the comfort of their own device.

Our app-free feature seamlessly integrated with the ZARA WeChat mini-program and offered customers an instantly shoppable makeover experience.

This year, we took a step further by enhancing the homepage to include the captivating makeup try-on feature, which shortened the user journey that brought a touch of magic and confidence to the beauty routine of makeup lovers.

Daily inspiration from KOLs with their OOTD

Our UI/UX design and user journey mapping efforts led to the creation of a KOL with their OOTD within the mini-program, which brought life to ZARA’s collection.

The KOL OOTD feature would get customers immersed in the expertise of KOLs as they curate outfits that effortlessly blend fashion and practicality for everyday wear.

With just a few taps, they could save and share their favorite ensembles and seamlessly add the featured pieces directly to the shopping cart.

“This feature is truly intriguing, and I have actually found myself purchasing a few items through it. Unlike traditional model photos, the KOL feature brings a sense of realism that resonates with everyday fashion enthusiasts like me,” said a loyal customer of ZARA, expressing her appreciation for the new feature.

Apart from captivating carousel revamp on homepage, Wiredcraft also developed “Swipe 滑一滑” feature for a seamless browsing experience, drawing inspiration from popular dating apps.

Navigating through ZARA’s vast collection of products had become a thrilling and interactive experience.

With a simple swipe to the left or right, customers could express their preferences by liking or disliking recommendations. This intuitive feature brought the element of surprise and anticipation to the fashion discovery process.
