Eve P. recently went to Firmoo, an online eyeglasses company, to look for frames. She noticed they have a virtual try-on option where you can see what frames would look like on either a photo of yourself or on different models. If you decide to “try with model,” you get four options for men and four for women. But when she looked at the options, she noticed something a little odd.
While neither set includes a great range of diverse faces to choose from, the male model options at least include some variety in terms of age, skin tone, and face shape/features. The female models, on the other hand, all look young, pale, flawless, and blond except for the one woman with very light brown hair. Their face shapes are fairly similar, too. They even seem to have the same taste in makeup.
