A skin-attachment sheet for makeup includes a thin-film layer made of polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, polycaprolactone, or a copolymer thereof, and a biocompatible polymer. The thickness of a first layer thereof is from 10 nm to 500 nm. An ink corresponding to a makeup image is printed on a surface of the thin-film layer on an opposite side of a surface of the thin-film layer attachable to the skin. The sheet also includes a mount that is provided on a surface on the thin-film layer, and that is capable of being peeled off from the surface on which the mount is provided.

Makeup support device, makeup support method, and makeup support program

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a makeup support device capable of appropriately supporting the application of makeup even for users who have insufficient makeup skills. The makeup support device () has: a makeup style selection unit () that selects a makeup style being a makeup method, for each face to be made up; and a makeup style suggestion unit () that causes pigment corresponding to the selected makeup style to be supported on the surface of a sheet capable of being adhered for long periods to facial skin, on the opposite side to the side adhered to the skin.

A makeup assisting apparatus includes an image acquirer that acquires a captured image of a face to which makeup is applied, an applied makeup acquirer that acquires applied makeup from the image, the applied makeup being a way of applying the makeup, a makeup evaluator that evaluates the applied makeup by comparing the applied makeup with a reference makeup which is makeup to be used as a reference by a user having applied the makeup to the face; an evaluation presenter that presents a result of the evaluation to the user, and an advice information indictor that indicates how to correct the applied makeup so as to make it closer to the reference makeup.

Makeup application assistance device, makeup application assistance method, and makeup application assistance program

A makeup assisting apparatus includes an image acquirer that acquires a captured image of a face to which makeup is applied and that maps, when the captured image of the face is captured from an oblique direction, the captured image of the face to a stereoscopic shape of a face to generate an image of the captured image of the face seen from the front.
