## Abstract

A method of predicting a resulting hue, tint, tone, or shade of a lipstick product on a user includes generating one or more instances on a graphical user interface indicative of a predicted applied lipstick hue, tint, tone, or shade based on receiving user lip-hue information and a lipstick product selection; and generating one or more instances on a graphical user interface of a lipstick product predicted to result in a hue, tint, tone, or shade, on the user, based on the received user lip-hue information and a desired coated lip-hue.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of predicting a resulting hue, tint, tone, or shade of a lipstick product on a user, comprising:
generating one or more instances on a graphical user interface indicative of a predicted applied lipstick hue, tint, tone, or shade based on receiving user lip-hue information and a lipstick product selection; and
generating one or more instances on a graphical user interface of a lipstick product predicted to result in a hue, tint, tone, or shade, on the user, based on the received user lip-hue information and a desired coated lip-hue.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein generating the one or more instances on a graphical user interface indicative of a predicted applied lipstick hue, tint, tone, or shade based on receiving user lip-hue information and a lipstick product selection includes generating lipstick hue, tint, tone, or shade information based on receiving one or more inputs indicative of a lipstick product selection, and extracting user lip-hue information from one or more digital images.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein generating the one or more instances on a graphical user interface indicative of a predicted applied lipstick hue, tint, tone, or shade based on receiving user lip-hue information and a lipstick product selection includes extracting applied hue information generated from one or more digital images of a plurality of lip-tone cards coated with lipstick, each lip-tone card including at least one lip-tone swatch, a white swatch, and a black swatch.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein generating the one or more instances on a graphical user interface of a lipstick product predicted to result in a hue, tint, tone, or shade, on the user, based on the received user lip-hue information and a desired coated lip-hue includes generating a predicted resulting lipstick hue based on receiving the desired coated lip-hue, extracting user lip-hue information from one or more digital images, and extracting applied hue, tint, tone, or shade information from one or more digital images of a plurality of lip-tone cards coated with lipstick, each lip-tone card including at least one lip-tone swatch, a white swatch, and a black swatch.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
transmitting one or more of a predicted applied lipstick hue, tint, tone, or shade based on receiving user lip-hue information and a lipstick product selection, or a lipstick product predicted to result in a hue, tint, tone, or shade, on the user, that is within a predetermined threshold of the hue of the lipstick product selection.
