Title:
VIRTUAL MAKEOVER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2001/004839
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for virtual colour makeover of a customer's face. A digital image is taken of the customer's face. Natural skin colour is determined by a differential analysis among at least two different sites along the face to identify an area without colour. The identified area without colour is then used as a basis for projecting the customer's face with the natural skin colour. Consultant's choice of pre-programmed colour palettes matching the measured natural skin colour is then projected on the facial image. A customer's personal choice such as fashion, natural or go-to-work looks can be registered for modifying the consultant's choice colour palette. The selected colour palette can then be identified as a set of colour cosmetic products, which are provided to the customer.
