A tech firm masquerading as a beauty retailer, ­Oddity is famous for its direct-to-consumer brands: Il Makiage makeup and SpoiledChild, a hair- and skin-care line launched last year that brought in $48 million in gross sales in just 12 months. With overall sales doubling every year since its founding in 2018, Oddity says it became the best-­selling digital beauty brand in history by using [AI-backed](https://time.com/6288131/grammys-ai-rules/ "undefined") online quizzes to match customers with products. “If you don’t have high-­quality data to train \[AI\] on, it’s garbage in, garbage out,” says global CFO Lindsay Drucker Mann. But with detailed data from over 40 million users, Oddity’s models are getting smarter all the time.
