# Enable a makeup product and author shades

![Live AR product selection and shade authoring in the Shopify App](/files/TFLbtbBvCUlAzl6lLGqR)

## Add an AR product in Studio

1. Choose the correct store in the sidebar.
2. Open **Widget → Products**.
3. In **Live AR try-on**, select **Select products** or **Add by ref**.
4. Choose the product. Studio opens its product editor.
5. Keep **Live AR try-on (makeup)** selected.

For a custom site, the product reference must match `data-tryon-product` in the embed.

## Author the product

1. Choose a makeup type: **Lips**, **Blush**, or **Eyeshadow**.
2. Choose the product finish.
3. Set the starting intensity.
4. Select **Add first shade**.
5. Give the shade a shopper-friendly name.
6. Enter or pick its six-digit hex color.
7. Optionally choose a finish override for that shade.
8. Add the remaining shades.
9. Select **Save product**.

Blush and eyeshadow also provide coverage controls during tuning.

## Shopify variants

In the Shopify App, Selvette loads the selected product's variants and uses Shopify color swatches when available. Review every shade before saving; a fallback color may be used when a variant has no native swatch.

## Confirm the effective state

The product should show **On — this product** in the Live AR card. If it says **author shades to go live**, reopen the product and add at least one valid shade.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.selvette.com/live-ar-makeup/author-shades.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
