Ecosystem for dispensing personalized foundation

A method, implemented by a system that includes a mobile user device and a dispensing device, the method comprising:

• executing, by the mobile user device, an application that determines a skintone of a user;
• determining and transmitting, by the mobile user device, a recipe for generating a target foundation that is based on a combination of a plurality of separate foundation ingredients that are associated with the skintone of the user;
• and
• receiving, by the dispensing device, the transmitted recipe from the mobile user device and dispensing each of the plurality of separate foundation ingredients onto a common dispensing surface such that when the dispensed amounts of each of the plurality of separate foundation ingredients is blended on the dispensing surface, the target foundation is achieved,
• wherein the mobile user device determines a skintone of the user based on features in a detected face of the user in a self-taken video of the user that is captured by a camera of the mobile user device, and
• wherein the self-taken image is a 360° video and the processing circuitry of the mobile user device is configured to predict the skintone of the user further based on a deep learning model based on first metadata associated with the self-taken image that includes information of a season and location for when the self-taken image is capture and second metadata that includes historical climate data.
