show what they look like and express themselves

Explanation:
otra opción para "express themselves" podría ser "express their moods/ how they are feeling" ya que creo q se refiere a los emoticones y a la posibilidad de indicar el estado del usuario (ocupado, disponible, etc)
Suerte!

how they shine and express themselves

Explanation:
Literalmente "lucir" significa" brillar, el verbo "lucir" aplicado a una persona tiene una connotación positiva, distinta a "to look" o "look like": cuando una persona "luce" sus cualidades destacan y son realzadas. Entiendo que el texto pone énfasis en este aspecto a la hora de vender un producto web interactivo.

(Tambien existe la forma reflexiva "lucirse" en un sentido más enfático)
