Abstract
A system and methods for creating and sharing personalized virtual makeovers comprising algorithms for applying virtual cosmetics, hairstyles and accessories to a digital portrait of an individual using described techniques that produce a revised image with a realistic appearance. The system may calculate positions of the boundaries of facial features such as eyes, lips and hair, or provide the user a sophisticated adjustment method. The invention places and shapes virtual cosmetics, hairstyles and accessories to precisely calculated locations, blending colors and shading for a realistic and lifelike result. Accessories such as eyeglasses and jewelry are also realistically applied. The system comprises individual makeover editors for skin, eyes, lips, hair and accessories. Virtual makeovers may be shared, including allowing multiple users modify the same image simultaneously.
