Abstract: A computing device obtains a first video recorded by a first camera (e.g., a rear-facing camera of a mobile computing device) having a first field of view in an illuminated environment and obtains a second video recorded by a second camera having a second field of view (e.g., a forward-facing camera of a mobile computing device) in the illuminated environment that differs from the first field of view. The second field of view is directed toward a face of a live subject. The computing device extracts lighting environment images from the first video and face images from the second video. The computing device processes the face images and the lighting environment images (e.g., using machine learning models) to obtain a plurality of determinations of skin tone of the face and combines the determinations of skin tone of the face to determine a combined determination of skin tone.

Abstract: An assistive stand configured to hold a motion stabilizer that stabilizes a mascara cosmetic applicator in response to a motion caused by a user applicator, including a first receiving area for holding the motion stabilizer, and a second receiving area that holds a mascara cosmetic applicator container, wherein the second receiving area is coupled to a track that is configured to receive and guide the mascara cosmetic applicator relative to the container held in the second receiving area.

Abstract: A system is provided that stabilizes an applicator in response to the motion caused by a user. The system includes a motion stabilizer; and an adapter that holds a cosmetic applicator. The motion stabilizer includes a receiver configured to be coupled with the adapter; at least one sensor configured to detect a movement caused by a user; circuitry configured to determine a compensation movement to offset the detected movement; and at least one motion generation device embedded in the receiver configured to control a motion of the cosmetic applicator according to the determined compensation movement. The cosmetic applicator is configured to have a first end that includes an applicator element that delivers a cosmetic to the skin of the user and to have a second end that includes an eraser, and the adapter or the motion stabilizer is configured to rotate the eraser to face the user after a cosmetic application is performed by the applicator element.

Abstract: A system that stabilizes an applicator in response to the motion caused by a user, including a motion stabilizer and an adapter that holds a cosmetic applicator, wherein the motion stabilizer includes a receiver configured to be coupled with the adapter; at least one sensor configured to detect a movement caused by a user; circuitry configured to determine a compensation movement to offset the detected movement; and at least one motion generation device embedded in the receiver configured to control a motion of the cosmetic applicator according to the determined compensation movement, wherein the adapter is configured to hold a plurality of different types of cosmetic applicators and includes a magnetic metal ring that is configured to couple with a ring-shaped magnet disposed within the receiver.

Abstract: A system is provided that stabilizes an applicator in response to the motion caused by a user. The system includes a motion stabilizer; and an adapter that holds a cosmetic applicator. The motion stabilizer includes a receiver configured to be coupled with the adapter, at least one sensor configured to detect a movement caused by a user, circuitry configured to determine a compensation movement to offset the detected movement; and at least one motion generation device embedded in the receiver configured to control a motion of the cosmetic applicator according to the determined compensation movement, wherein the adapter includes circuitry that is configured to transmit an identifier to the receiver, the identifier indicating a type of the cosmetic applicator, and the motion generation device is configured to set at least one parameter for controlling the motion of the cosmetic applicator according to the type of the cosmetic applicator.

Abstract: An assistive stand is provided that holds a motion stabilizing device that stabilizes an applicator in response to the motion caused by a user applicator. The stand includes a first receiving area for holding the motion stabilizing device and a second receiving area that holds a lipstick tube with an attached universal adapter. The second receiving area includes a mechanism that rotates the lipstick tube to an optimal length. The stand may further include a temperature adjusting region that includes at least one of heating elements and cooling elements, the temperature adjusting region being disposed below the second receiving area.

Abstract: A system is provided that includes a dispensing device configured to dispense a specified amount of a cosmetic material from at least one cartridge into a receiving area; a motion stabilizer coupled to a cosmetic applicator via an adapter. The motion stabilizer includes a receiver configured to be coupled with the adapter; at least one sensor configured to detect a movement caused by a user; circuitry configured to determine a compensation movement to offset the detected movement; and at least one motion generation device embedded in the receiver configured to control a motion of the cosmetic applicator according to the determined compensation movement. When the motion stabilizer is within a proximity of the cosmetic dispenser, at least one of the dispensing device and the motion stabilizer are configured to perform a predetermined operation.

Abstract: A system is provided that stabilizes an applicator in response to the motion caused by a user. A motion stabilizer includes a receiver configured to be coupled with the adapter; at least one sensor configured to detect a movement caused by a user; circuitry configured to determine a compensation movement to offset the detected movement; and at least one motion generation device embedded in the receiver configured to control a motion of the cosmetic applicator according to the determined compensation movement. An application is configured to capture an image of the user prior to a session of applying a cosmetic using the cosmetic applicator; capture an image of the user after the session of applying a cosmetic using the cosmetic applicator; detect an error in applying the cosmetic to a portion of the user's body; detect a deviation in the movement of the cosmetic applicator during the session when the error is detected; and adjust settings for the motion stabilizer to compensate for the deviation.
