Smashbox launches addicting virtual makeup Try-On Studio -- and you'll become obsessed

Updated

We hope you have some time to spare, because once you start playing around with Smashbox's new Try-On Studio, you'll never stop. In short, the concept is genius. And Smashbox is the "first beauty brand to make its full product lineup available for this kind of tool."

Essentially, once you're on the site (on your desktop or mobile phone), you can upload a photo of yourself or use a model image to get started. From there, you can try on makeup products for your face, eyes, lips and cheeks (yes, all of them!). You'll have 13 different types of products at your disposal (everything from foundations and highlighters to full eyeshadow palettes and liquid lip collections, including the liquid metals!). Our favorite feature? You can play with the intensity of each product. Like we said -- genius.

As Smashbox Global Pro Lead Artist, Lori Taylor-Davis, puts it: "With our new virtual Try-On Studio, users can see what each and every Smashbox product looks like on them – in any environment, in any light, in any shot. It's like having the entire makeup studio to play with, right on your computer or in the palm of your own hand."

If you apply a product that's not your cup of tea, you can "undo" individual items or "undo all" to wipe your entire face clean and begin again. If you're indecisive like we are, you can even compare multiple looks and share them with your friends to get second and third opinions before you spend your dough.

Once you love what you see, you can add the exact products you used on your virtual face to your virtual shopping bag. Voilà!

We apologize in advance for all the procrastination that's about to ensue.
