I really have a hard time finding lipstick the right color. And have thrown away too much money on the wrong color.
So I thought - why doesn't someone make an application where you take a photo of yourself with a white piece of paper. Then your true lip color could be converted to HSL or LAB and matched against a database of lipstick colors and voila! The best and right shade would be found.
If only I knew of an online lipstick color database.
The first test results are in though because I used this method last week to pick out a new hair color. This could be used for foundation as well but I haven't a clue how one would figure out the right luminosity.
See? Geekdom, confirmed.

I came across an interesting article about digital color a while back, that I can't find now... Anyway, the basic gist of the article was how artists have to be trained to ignore the psychology of color in order to produce realistic imagery. The author used 3-D art, such as digital movie effects, as...06-10-2002, 10:31 PM

Attached is a photo by Jim Fiscus. Look at the skin tones and even the clothes. It seems as though the colors are mono - or this isn't any variations in the color... its just one solid color.
Q: How do you do that? How do you retain the highlight and shadow values while modifying the...09-29-2008, 11:53 AM -

Any help would be appreciated!
