The TruBeauté promise

What it does

Everything a beauty tutorial couldn't — now personalized.

Real-time AR mirror

Makeup zones light up on your own reflection with technique-specific motion — sweeps, taps, swirls, and wiggles — for every single step of your routine.

GPT-4o routines, made for your face

Your photo is read by GPT-4o Vision and filtered through an affirming guardrails layer. Every step celebrates your features rather than treating them as problems.

Curated, trans-friendly products

Recommendations from a hand-picked catalog of brands with proven trans-femme inclusivity, ranked by your tone, undertone, skin concerns, and budget.

Yours alone, always

Encrypted storage, Stealth Mode for full anonymity, one-tap data export, instant account erasure. Privacy that respects who you are.

Discover the app

Every screen. Every step. One routine that's yours.

Here's exactly what you'll see inside TruBeauté — from the first question to the live AR mirror, the glow journal, and the product picks in between.

How it works

Selfie in. Personal routine out.

Sixty seconds from your first selfie to a full-face routine that looks like you, not a tutorial.

Take a selfie

Or upload one you already love. Trouvé reads tone, undertone, eye shape, lid space — privately, for one fleeting moment.

Get a routine of your own

Fifteen steps, written in the language of warmth. No fix, no flaw — just enhance, soften, lift.

3

Shop from a vetted shortlist

Hand-picked products that match your tone and budget. As an Amazon Associate, we earn — affiliate relationships never affect ranking.

Practice in your mirror

Turn the camera around for the live AR mirror. Trouvé guides your brush, blender and tap, technique-by-technique.

Iterate over time

Rescan as your skin, hormones and looks evolve. Your kit and routines come with you.

The story behind TruBeauté

In 2022, when I came out as a non-binary trans-femme person, learning how to navigate beauty felt overwhelming. The tutorials weren't made for me, the products didn't always make sense, and I spent a lot of time and money trying to figure it out on my own.

Working at Ulta gave me access to beauty experts and the space to experiment, but the real shift came through drag. As a drag queen, I had a drag mom who took me shopping, helped me experiment, and gave me the confidence to figure out what worked for me.

Not everyone has that. Outside of beauty, I've worked across Google and Meta in Trust & Safety and AI alignment — building systems that are safe, reliable, and effective at scale. TruBeauté is built at the intersection of those experiences.

Think of it as a kind of digital drag mom — a guide to help you find what works for your face, your goals, and your version of beauty.

Let's build this together

For investors, co-founders, and partners.

TruBeauté is in beta with the queer and trans communities we built it for. Every bit of feedback helps us build a better app for you and our community. If any of this resonates — a check, a co-founder seat, a retail partnership, a press story — we'd love to hear from you.

Your note is stored privately on TruBeauté's servers — never shared with third-party marketing tools.
