At launch, only select products from Black Opal, Charlotte Tilbury, Estée Lauder, L’Oréal, and MAC Cosmetics are supported, but Google says it plans to include more soon. The company also hopes the new virtual try-on features will inspire more brands and expand the types of products users can preview in the app.
