Abstract: Disclosed is a mobile apparatus for monitoring state of cosmetic items in a drawer or on a shelf. The apparatus includes a camera; a display device; and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to capture an image of the drawer and its contents using the camera, decode the captured image to identify the cosmetic items contained in the drawer and respective location of the identified cosmetic items, and display on the display device a notification of identified cosmetic items that have expired. An augmented reality display device highlights a group of cosmetic items determined to be compatible and within a freshness degree. The processing circuitry is configured to display on the mobile display a notification of a cosmetic item to apply, highlight the cosmetic item in the augmented reality display device, and record in a database usage information of the cosmetic item.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer-readable media that use machine learning models to enable computing devices to detect and identify cosmetic products in face images. In some embodiments, a model training system may gather training data for building the machine learning models by analyzing face images associated with tagging data. In some embodiments, a recommendation system may be configured to use the machine learning models generated by the model training system to detect products in face images, and to add information based on the detected products to a look data store, and/or to provide recommendations for similar looks from the look data store based on the detected products.
