# How Live AR works

Live AR lets shoppers preview makeup through their device camera. Selvette currently supports lips, blush, and eyeshadow.

## What makes an AR product live

All of these must be true:

* the plan includes Live AR;
* the account has credits available for an AR session;
* the product is enabled as a Live AR makeup product; and
* the product has at least one authored shade.

Live AR starts off for new accounts. The store-wide AR setting uses **Selected products**, with no product selected.

## AR replaces garment try-on

Enabling Live AR declares the product to be makeup. Image try-on and 360° video no longer appear on that product.

If you enable AR but do not author a shade, the product shows no Selvette launcher. Finish shade authoring before testing the page.

## Camera processing

The camera rendering runs on the shopper's device. See [Live AR camera privacy](/privacy-and-security/live-ar-privacy.md).

## 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/overview.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.
