The BuyScout® AI Store Agent helps shoppers translate a desired look into coordinated products, relevant shade options, and tools using shopper-provided preferences and the merchant's guidance.
Scott Barnes Cosmetics brings professional makeup artistry to shoppers through face and eye palettes, the signature Body Bling collection, brushes, and other tools for creating polished looks. The brand's signature "Glow" and its curated Get the Look collections give shoppers a clear source of inspiration, from luminous everyday makeup to more expressive occasion-ready styles.
Inspiration can start a beauty purchase, but it does not always finish one. A shopper may love a completed look while still wondering which palette, shade, applicator, or Body Bling finish will work for them. They may also be unsure which steps are essential, which products are complementary, and how to recreate the result at their own skill level.
That gap matters because a complete look often spans several product categories. Without guidance, shoppers may settle for one familiar item, build a mismatched basket, or abandon the purchase while searching elsewhere for application advice. Even curated collections cannot answer every personal question about undertone, finish, occasion, budget, or the products already in a shopper's cart.
Scott Barnes Cosmetics needed to make its artistry more interactive: not simply showing the look, but helping each shopper translate it into a practical routine.
Inspiration starts a beauty purchase. It rarely finishes one.
Scott Barnes Cosmetics introduced BuyScout® as a digital beauty advisor available throughout the storefront. BuyScout® learns from the merchant's approved catalog and guidance, then uses the shopper's context to make relevant recommendations in real time.
A conversation can begin with the desired result: a warm glow, sculpted definition, a statement eye, or a complete look for a particular occasion. BuyScout® can then ask about the shopper's preferred shade family, undertone, finish, experience level, budget, and products already under consideration. From there, it builds a coordinated recommendation across palettes, Body Bling products, and brushes using the brand's published guidance.
The experience is designed to be useful at different levels of commitment. A shopper who wants the essentials can receive a focused starting set. Someone ready to recreate the complete look can see the full sequence, including the tools that support application. In both cases, BuyScout® explains why each recommendation belongs, helping relevant upsells feel like part of the technique rather than an unrelated promotion.
BuyScout® can also answer product-comparison, application, shipping, and return questions without making shoppers leave the page at the moment of highest intent.
By connecting inspiration, product selection, and technique in one conversation, Scott Barnes Cosmetics helped more shoppers build complete, coordinated baskets. Average order value in BuyScout®-assisted orders increased by approximately 18%, while baskets containing three or more products grew by approximately 22%.
Guidance also helped more inspired visitors follow through. Conversion from BuyScout®-guided Get the Look sessions rose by approximately 17% as shoppers received immediate answers about shade, finish, tools, and application order.
The larger commercial impact is a more scalable expression of the brand itself: professional artistry made accessible at the exact moment a shopper needs it.
