  • Lip categorizing method, makeup method, categorizing map, and makeup tool
    Patent number: 8082926
    Abstract: A lip categorizing method uses the size and shape of the lips as viewed from the front of the face as a first categorization index and the three-dimensional form of the lips as a second categorization index. The lip categorizing map is composed of a first coordinate axis showing the degree of the first categorization index and a second coordinate axis showing the degree of the second categorization index and has a coordinate system in which the first and second coordinate axes are orthogonal. It also generates makeup information for two-dimensionally correcting the lips of a subject based on preset reference by setting a plurality of points for determining the form features of lips on an image that depicts the lips, and judges the form features of the lips of the subject based on analytical values of the two-dimensional features of the lips measured from the set points.
