Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for virtual facial makeup simulation through virtual makeup removal and virtual makeup add-ons, virtual end effects and simulated textures. In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for virtually removing facial makeup, the method comprising providing a facial image of a user with makeups being applied thereto, locating facial landmarks from the facial image of the user in one or more regions, decomposing some regions into first channels which are fed to histogram matching to obtain a first image without makeup in that region and transferring other regions into color channels which are fed into histogram matching under different lighting conditions to obtain a second image without makeup in that region, and combining the images to form a resultant image with makeups removed in the facial regions.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a customized cosmetic formulation. In one method, a user is guided to capture an image of a skin region with known lighting and color characteristics, and the image is processed to provide calibrated skin color information. A customized cosmetic formulation is automatically determined for the user based on the calibrated skin color information. In another method, a user is interactively guided through capture of one or more skin region images using a device having an image sensor. The skin region images are processed to provide calibrated skin color information, which is compared to a ground truth data set to identify a set of closest known values in the ground truth data set. A customized cosmetic formulation is automatically determined for the user based on the comparison.

Abstract: Compositions and methods useful in treating dermatological disorders are described. The methods include applying to the skin a composition comprising a reactive reinforcing component and a cross-linking component, wherein the cross-linking component facilitates a reaction to form a film in situ on the skin.

Abstract: Compositions and methods useful for delivering an agent to a subject are described. The methods include applying to the subject's skin a composition comprising a reactive reinforcing component, a cross-linking component, and one or more agents, wherein the cross-linking component catalyzes an in situ reaction on the skin, thereby delivering the agent to the subject.
