Q: What shade-matching tools work with Magento, quiz-based vs AR (Modiface / YouCam)?

Three patterns work, in increasing complexity and cost:Quiz-based shade finder, 5-7 questions on undertone, depth, finish, climate. Built natively in Magento with custom product attributes + a thin Alpine.js quiz UI on Hyvä. Conversion lift typically 0.8-1.4x baseline. Cost: ~$3k, $8k.AR try-on (Modiface / YouCam Makeup / Perfect Corp), live camera overlay on PDP. Integration via REST + JS SDK. Conversion lift 1.4-2.8x on PDPs with AR. Cost: ~$8k, $20k integration + $1k, $5k/mo licence to the AR vendor depending on traffic.Hybrid (quiz → AR confirm), quiz narrows to 3 shades, AR confirms the pick. Best conversion in my data.For brands under ~$5M GMV, start quiz-only. AR pays for itself above ~$5M because the licence amortises across volume.
