💄 A type of handle makes it easier for people with reduced mobility to apply lipstick

This year's electronics fair CES offered, as usual, lots of new electronics, but also more surprising products. One such was the make-up company L'Oréal's aid Hapta.

Hapta can be described as a handle that should make it easier to apply lipstick for those who have reduced mobility. The handle contains sensors and small motors that keep the lipstick steady even if the user has difficulty getting a smooth hand movement.

According to L'Oréal, there are 50 million people in the world who can benefit from the product. Today, these people need help applying lipstick, but should manage it themselves with Hapta, according to L'Oréal.

This may sound like a luxury problem, but for those who have, for example, cerebral palsy or suffered a stroke, anything that makes them more independent can be very valuable.

Engadget tested Hapta at CES and although the tool had some teething problems, the verdict was that for the most part it worked well. L'Oréal is still developing Hapta, but in December it will be launched and will then cost around $149-$199.
