RESEARCH PROCESS
User Interview
We first brought up our instructor's concerns about kids' beauty safety when coming to real application of lipstick, because she has a 6 year old daughter who has a big amount of interest using her mom's cosmetics. Meanwhile, We also complied our ideas by asking lot of questions to 4 pairs of parents and kids by observations and user interviews.
Observations:
USER SURVEY SUMMARY
· Suprisingly, 90% of the girls are interested in mom’s cosmetics. ( 6-10 years old)
73% parents think over 12 years old is the best age for kids to use beauty products.
· More than 90% parents concern about the safety of cosmetics, they also concern about behavior, education and finance if their kids are actively using makeup.

MINDMAP
We had a brainstorming session based on the findings from survey and pain points. I initiated the process by sticky notes to organized our pain points along with the feasible solutions together to ideate the our first version of design work.
COMPETITORS
My design was valued and Ankr successfully raised 4 millions in January which is one month right after website was published. From my design, Ankr was able to attract more followers, and stakeholders around the world from Europe to Asia, from Asia to United States.
MATRIX
To differentiated our product with our potential competitors, i created a competitor matrix.
TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH
Since our concept contain the ideas of Augumented Reality, I feel more confident to do this research on: how each step work along with the back-end development involved. The knowledge background is a big plus to think steps further when design a product. It will increase the communication efficiency when presenting to dev team.
