Who are Hue TwinsTM?
Over the past two years, we spoke with countless customers and almost unanimously they all said the same thing: “I WANT TO SEE THE PRODUCTS ON SOMEONE THAT LOOKS LIKE ME”.
Here’s where Hue Twins™ come in! We are introducing a new way for customers to shop using content from Hue Twins, a diverse community of creators, who share the same characteristics as shoppers. The Hue Twins™ received free products from our brand partners, then create honest video and photo reviews to show shoppers what products look like on someone who looks like them.
Can I integrate my own content in Hue’s tool?
Absolutely. We will work with you to integrate any UGC videos that you have collected.
Is Hue for beauty companies only? What about fashion, home or other consumer companies?
Hue builds solutions for any company whose customers want to view authentic UGC testimonials from people like them - whether they share the same skin tone, skin type, body type, shoe size, hair color, aesthetic or preferences.
Imagine shopping for trousers and being matched with an entire group of people who share your same height, body type, inseam, preferences, and more! Cool right!
Who is behind Hue?
Hi! We’re Janvi, Sylvan and Nicole - we thought we’d answer this question directly.
We came together as three people who struggled with finding makeup products that worked best for our skin tone - despite all being at different points of the shade spectrum. We quickly learned that we’re not the only ones -- 80% of beauty consumers say that finding products to match or complement their skin tone is the #1 issue they have with shopping for beauty online. During countless customer interviews over the past two years, we heard unanimously that customers want to see real, everyday people like themselves trying on products. However, the process of finding someone who matches their skin tone and skin concerns is time intensive and often unsuccessful. Especially for people who have been and still are less represented in beauty.
So that’s why we started Hue. Our mission is to build ecommerce solutions for brands and retailers, so that anyone, anywhere can find the perfect products and feel that they are represented in beauty.
For Hue TwinsTM
What is Hue?
Hue helps everyday people and creators partner with leading brands to receive free products in exchange for authentic video and photo reviews.
Hue was founded by three people across the skin tone spectrum who all struggle with finding the right beauty products online. They thought, if this is a problem for all three of us then it must be a problem for EVERYONE!
We spoke with countless beauty shoppers and they said the same thing: I WANT TO SEE THE PRODUCT ON SOMEONE THAT LOOKS LIKE ME.
Here’s where you come in! We are introducing a new way for customers to shop using Hue Creators, a diverse community of people, who share the same characteristics as shoppers. The Hue Creators (i.e. You) received free products from our brand partners, then create HONEST video and photo reviews to show shoppers what products look like on someone who looks like them.
Imagine shopping for beauty products and being matched with an entire group of people who share your same skin tone, skin type, preferences, and more! Cool right!
Who are Hue Creators?
Hue Creators is a diverse community of passionate beauty lovers - from students, to moms, to teachers and creators who create honest videos and photo reviews. Every video and photo review that you share about your experience with beauty products helps others discover the best products that work for them.
Hue Creators are passionate about helping others, increasing representation in beauty and trying new products for FREE.
Why should I become a Hue Creators?
Make a difference
Beauty is for everyone. Yet, it is very difficult to see honest video and photo reviews from people who are truly representative of everyday people.
Are you a dark skinned person with rosacea? Do you happen to have oily skin and prefer foundations that are slightly darker than your actual skin tone? Hue Creators make a difference in beauty simply by being themselves and sharing how products work for them. There is a beauty lover out there who is similar to you. Don’t let them purchase another lipstick shade that doesn’t work for their skin tone!
