Abstract
A method of making up the skin or the lips, the method including measuring at least one optical characteristic at least one location of the skin or the lips; and automatically forming on the skin or lips a deposit that has an optical characteristic that varies and that corresponds substantially at said location, to the measured optical characteristic.
Claims15
A method of making up skin or lips, the method comprising:
- measuring at least one optical characteristic at at least one location of the skin or the lips;
- and
- automatically forming on the skin or the lips a deposit that has an optical characteristic that varies, tending towards the measured optical characteristic on approaching the at least one location so as to correspond substantially at said location, to the measured optical characteristic before deposition such that a line of demarcation between the optical characteristic of the skin or lips and the optical characteristic of the deposit cannot be viewed.
An apparatus for making up skin or lips, the apparatus comprising:
- an acquisition system configured for measuring at least one optical characteristic of the skin or the lips at at least one location of the skin or lips;
- a printer system configured to form a deposit on the skin or the lips in a zone other than where the measurement(s) is/are taken;
- and
- a processor unit for receiving data from the acquisition system and for controlling the printer system at least as a function of said data, the deposit having an optical characteristic that varies, tending towards the measured optical characteristic on approaching the at least one location so as to correspond substantially at said location to the measured optical characteristic before deposition such that a line of demarcation between the optical characteristic of the skin or lips and the optical characteristic of the deposit cannot be viewed.
