Augmented reality-enhanced beauty mirror

An apparatus, comprising:

• a display configured to emit light along an optical path;
• a first optical element disposed along the optical path;
• a second optical element configured to reflect or redirect the light emitted by the display at a non-zero angle;
• and
• a mirror including a first surface configured to face a user and a second surface facing the second optical element, the mirror configured to allow light redirected by the second optical element to transmit through the mirror such that a graphic appears overlaid on a reflection of a face of the user generated by the first surface of the mirror, the graphic associated with instructive guidance.

An apparatus, comprising:

• an optical element configured to generate a reflection of a user;
• a processor;
• a display system operatively coupled to the processor;
• and
• a memory operatively coupled to the processor and storing processor-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• receive, from a mobile device of a user, data representing a user selection of a tutorial,
• generate data associated with anatomical landmarks of a face of the user;
• align a tutorial graphic associated with the tutorial with a representation of the face of the user based on the anatomical landmarks of the face of the user;
• and
• cause display, via the display system, of the aligned tutorial graphic such that the aligned tutorial graphic appears overlaid on the reflection of the user generated by the optical element.
