Abstract
Computer-implemented methods for vending at least one cosmetic product to a first consumer. A real-time image of a portion of a body of the consumer is captured using a personal computational device and the consumer provides a desired makeup look via the personal computational device. The desired makeup look is then applied to an image of the portion of the body of the consumer, thereby generating a composite image of the portion of the body of the first consumer with the desired makeup look, and a retail order for the cosmetic product is received from the consumer. The order may be received before or after the consumer's image is captured. Another consumer, or a product specialist, may be involved in the aforesaid process via a computer communications link.
