Looks as though Try On is not available in your area. Learn more

Discover make-up products, such as lipsticks and eyeshadows, by trying them on virtually in the Pinterest app using your camera. You can also discover home décor and items of furniture by placing them in your space virtually. If you like what you see, you can buy it immediately, or save it to a board and buy it later.

Remember, only some Pins have Try On available. Some make-up or home décor Pins may be regular Pins. Look for Pins with the Try On button or the cube icon to experience Try On.

Note: Try On for eyeshadow and home décor is not available in the UK yet, but you can use Try On for lipstick.
