Abstract
A system that recommends cosmetic, dermatological, or fashion items based on photos taken of a person based in part or entirely on their skin color and other defining characteristics like hair color, eye color, and/or face shape. The system includes a device with a camera and a light source capable of producing multiple intensities of light, the device running a program that instructs the user with real time feedback on how to adjust their face, phone positioning or location in order for the application to capture a set of two or more optimal photos of their face. When optimal ambient lighting is found, the program captures multiple photos, varying the light source over the different captures. Calibrated color data is calculated by comparing how the brightness and color of the diffuse reflection on the skin of the user changes compared to the brightness and color of the specular reflection of the light source in the user's eye.
