Makeup Chatbots Don't Chat Just Yet

A few months ago I tried out an augmented reality program by ModiFace that lets you try on makeup live -- you can tilt your head, make a funny face, even angle the camera for better light, and the makeup moves with you. It isn't perfect, but it's neat, and I shared it around to my friends. So when I heard that Facebook was now supporting a Modiface app to let you try out lipstick through Facebook Messenger, I was there! I quickly opened Messenger and plugged the app into my conversations. The bot appeared right away, and it seemed promising.
