## Abstract

A makeup consultation server device obtains a request from a client device to initiate a makeup consultation session and obtains target attributes of a user of the client device. The makeup consultation server device determines a grouping of beauty advisors currently online and accesses profile information associated with each of the beauty advisors in the grouping. The makeup consultation server device matches the user with at least one of the beauty advisors based on the target attributes, and the profile information. The makeup consultation server device establishes the makeup consultation session between the client device and an advisor device of one of the matching beauty advisors.
