Precise application of cosmetic looks from over a network environment

A device for applying reflectance modifying agents (RMA) to an area of skin, the device comprising:

• one or more deposition nozzles;
• one or more sensors;
• a display;
• a container that contains the RMA and that is in fluid communication with at least one of the one or more deposition nozzles;
• one or more processors that are in communication with the one or more sensors, the one or more deposition nozzles, and the display;
• and
• a data store coupled to the one or more processors having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• accessing a plurality of makeup effects for applying reflectance modifying agents (RMA) to the area of skin;
• presenting, for display to a user, the plurality makeup effects;
• receiving, from an input device, a selection of a makeup effect from the plurality of makeup effects to be applied to the area of skin;
• obtaining data defining the selected makeup effect, the data identifying, one or more RMAs to apply to the area of skin, an amount of RMA to apply to the area of skin, and a location on which to apply RMA;
• mapping the data to the area of skin using a feature map of the area of skin obtained from a scan of the area of skin by the one or more sensors;
• and
• causing the one or more deposition nozzles to deposit RMA on the area of skin according the mapped data defining the selected makeup effect.

A computer implemented method for applying cosmetics to an area of skin, the method comprising:

• receiving, by one or more processors, a real-time image of the area of skin;
• generating, by the one or more processors, a registration layer containing a mapping between features of the real-time image and a graphical model of the area of skin;
• presenting, for display to a user, a control layer overlaid on the real-time image according to the registration layer, the control layer including at least one indicator of a location on the area of skin where a reflectance modifying agent (RMA) should be applied;
• determining, based on the real-time image, that the RMA has been applied to the location on the area of skin;
• and
• in response to determining that the RMA has been applied to the location on the area of skin, modifying the at least one indicator included in the control layer.
