PERANCANGAN DESAIN USER INTERFACE APLIKASI MOBILE “TINTROPIC” SEBAGAI PANDUAN PERSONAL COLOR DAN PEMILIHAN WARNA KOSMETIK

Introduction

Perancangan desain user interface aplikasi mobile “tintropic” sebagai panduan personal color dan pemilihan warna kosmetik. Temukan warna kosmetik terbaik dengan aplikasi mobile "TINTROPIC". Desain UI ini memandu personal color analysis dan merekomendasikan produk sesuai skin tone Anda.

Abstract

Selecting appropriate makeup colors and shades that complement natural features such as skin tone, eye color, and hair color often poses a significant challenge for cosmetic users. One approach to assist in determining suitable colors is Personal Color Analysis (PCA), a method used to identify a personalized color palette. However, PCA services typically require consultation with specialists and remain inaccessible to many due to location and cost constraints. This study focuses on the user interface (UI) design of a mobile-based PCA service, aiming to provide an alternative means for conducting personal color tests and delivering analysis results in the form of customized color palettes and recommendations for locally available cosmetic products. The design process employed the design thinking methodology, and the effectiveness of the interface was evaluated through user testing. Results indicated that the overall UI design successfully conveyed the application’s core functions, although instances of misclicks were observed on certain pages.

Review

The paper, "PERANCANGAN DESAIN USER INTERFACE APLIKASI MOBILE “TINTROPIC” SEBAGAI PANDUAN PERSONAL COLOR DAN PEMILIHAN WARNA KOSMETIK," addresses a highly relevant and practical challenge for cosmetic users: the difficulty in selecting appropriate makeup colors. The proposed solution, a mobile application named "Tintropic" for Personal Color Analysis (PCA), is commendable for its innovative approach to overcoming the accessibility and cost barriers associated with traditional PCA specialist consultations. By leveraging a mobile platform, the authors aim to democratize access to personalized color palettes and cosmetic recommendations, a significant step forward in empowering users with informed choices. The adoption of the Design Thinking methodology indicates a user-centric development process, which is a strong foundation for any application designed to assist users directly. The study's core objective is to deliver personalized color analysis and product recommendations, specifically tailored to locally available cosmetic products, through an intuitive mobile interface. The evaluation through user testing suggests that the overall UI design effectively communicates the application's primary functions, which is a positive indicator of its clarity and utility. However, a critical observation noted was the occurrence of "misclicks" on certain pages. While not extensively detailed in the abstract, this finding highlights potential areas where the interface's usability or information architecture could be further refined. Understanding the root causes of these misclicks—be it ambiguous iconography, poor spatial arrangement, or unclear navigation—would be crucial for enhancing the application's overall user experience and minimizing user frustration. In conclusion, this paper presents a valuable and timely contribution to the intersection of user experience design and personal care technology. The concept of "Tintropic" holds substantial promise for assisting a wide user base in making better-informed cosmetic decisions. To further strengthen the work, a more in-depth discussion and analysis of the observed "misclicks" would be highly beneficial, including proposed design iterations to address these usability issues. Despite this minor point of refinement, the research establishes a robust foundation for an impactful mobile application. The publication of this work would undoubtedly encourage further development and research in this growing area, ultimately benefiting cosmetic users by providing accessible and personalized guidance.
