Abstract

Cosmetics are used as makeup to enhance the impact of appearance. Individuals like to make strong impression on others from their appearance. Current study is based on facial make-up in two color colorimetric attributes “whiteness” and “hue composition” in CIELAB color space. A workflow was implemented to achieve the facial makeup based on color image processing. From facial images against a fixed gray background, skin colors were extracted and transformed to tristimulus XYZ values via a camera characterization model. The XYZ values were used to calculate CIELAB L*, a*, b* color coordinates. They were then converted to L*, \(D_{ab}^{*}\), \(h_{ab}\) color attributes to render whiteness and hue. Using the workflow, the images based on different facial whiteness level and hue angle were successfully rendered.
