In place of a product image in a standard Google Shopping ad, AR Beauty ads offer a tool that lets consumers preview what different products might look like on themselves or a model that “resonates” with them. The tool is paired with a product description and pricing information, along with a simplified checkout flow designed to streamline the purchasing process.

AR Beauty ads will show up in the mobile-specific channels Google Shopping ads typically do, including the Shopping tab on Google.com, Search and Google Images.

In May, Meta announced that it would roll out AR ads to Instagram Reels and Facebook Stories later this year. (Meta first tested AR ads in the Facebook News Feed in July 2018.) Pokémon GO developer Niantic piloted AR ad experiences during the Cannes Lions festival in early spring. And Snapchat has long offered AR ads through its Lens technology and platform.

AR Beauty ads are something of a follow-up for Google, which way back in 2019 brought AR to YouTube display ads as a part of an experiment with makeup influencers. Powered by FameBit, Google’s in-house branded content platform, viewers could virtually try on makeup while following along with YouTube creators to get tips and product reviews.
