A genius feat of engineering, brains, and desire for perfection, we had lots of interested parties wanting to invest in its design and creation. But the printer isn\u2019t what it seems. Read on to find out more.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2018, we announced the release of a revolutionary beauty gadget in the form of a printer that could use printers and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tonergiant.co.uk\/ink-cartridges\/\">ink cartridges<\/a> to apply your makeup in 30 seconds. Great idea, right? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, the product was very much a concept (it never existed) and the perfect tool that allowed us to bring another issue to light &#8211; the growing problem of social media and its potentially damaging focus on perfection and enhanced beauty. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Contour 8000 idea definitely wasn\u2019t created to trick or fool anyone or make light of the issue. We wanted to use this product as an example of the effect social media and its impossible beauty standards were having on our mental health and well-being. We also wanted to discover if people would take it seriously and if those high standards we\u2019re trying to achieve encourage people to pay for products that promise perfection. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image _builder_version=&#8221;3.13.1&#8243; src=&#8221;https:\/\/blog.tonergiant.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/The-makeup-printer-website.jpg&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; \/][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.13.1&#8243; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Access to photoshop, filters and image enhancing tools means we can put versions of ourselves out there that simply aren\u2019t real and don\u2019t reflect who we are as people. In turn, those viewing these images may try to adhere to impossible modern beauty standards, having a negative impact on self-esteem and overall confidence. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can have a detrimental effect on the mental health of those viewing them, male or female, contributing towards negative perceptions of our bodies and even leading to more serious issues such as eating disorders as we attempt to reflect what we see on our screens. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram as a platform gives us immediate access to beautiful people, from celebrities to influencers, applying flawless make-up &#8211; with a little help from smoothing and erasing tools once the picture has been taken. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our Contour 8000 concept gave us the opportunity to test how well received a product like this would be &#8211; could we really get people to stick their heads in a printer to meet those Instagram standards of beauty? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apparently, yes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those we reached out to with an initial press release were hungry to know more. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We had more than 1,000 email sign-ups for the official launch announcement and lots of organic coverage and brand mentions. We had some of the biggest publications asking for more information and to see the product in action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image _builder_version=&#8221;3.13.1&#8243; src=&#8221;https:\/\/blog.tonergiant.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Makeup-printer-twitter.jpg&#8221;
