Abstract
Make-up simulation based on face recognition technology can be considered as a useful application for users to find charming facial expression. In order to describe vivid facial expression, movie-based make-up simulator that performs like a mirror is required because the facial expression is always changing. The make-up simulator allows to put lipstick, eye shadow, eye liner, powder on the face, and rouge on the cheeks. Moreover eyebrow make-up and hair color changes are also contained in the simulator. These make-up image processing based on facial parts tracking runs on normal PC and DV camera in real-time. Consequently the real-time make-up simulator enables the users to try various types of cosmetic products without actual make-up.
