Iridescent pearls, black diamonds, orchids, phosphorescence, and neon lights in hot pink and ultraviolet shades…

A multi-faceted concept – Metaverse Makeovers fuses intimate Augmented Reality (AR) enhanced beauty treatments, streamed and networked installations, 3D photoshoots, and exclusive AR cosmetics range featuring a prismatic palette of special FX holograms. Audiences receive exclusive AR manicure treatments, and neon-style love and pampering, experienced within the sleek surrounds of Hollywood Club’s VIP rooms for JUE – an annual open-source arts and music festival.

Created in collaboration with Chinese nail bar technicians of Shanghai’s underworld – Metaverse Makeovers is a trans-global re-envisioning of the future of make-up, highlighting the complex surfaces of China’s beauty, luxury, and technology industries.
