Have your ever shop for cosmetics like lipsticks, eyeshadow, blushers or even foundations only to find you bought the wrong color? Of course the test it on the bottom of your arm technique is a pretty accurate help but sometimes it is not. The Japanese have found a way to sort that problem out for you by installing a virtual make up system at their cosmetics section complete with a webcam so that you can take a picture of your face as a canvass.
You will never go wrong with colors again.
Tech-savvy but fashion-conscious Japanese women who want to try an instant makeover discreetly now have a chance to do it at the touch of a button. In a project meant to help design “the department store of the future,” Japan’s top cosmetics maker Shiseido on Friday launched with partners a virtual make-up simulator on a trial basis. The customer’s face appears on the computer and moves in real-time as she tries on lipstick, eyeshadows or blush at the top of the screen.
“This is the first time to be able to do this with moving images instead of still images,” said Shiseido spokesman Shigesato Kobayashi.
The customer touches on-screen tags that offer information about the products, including what ingredients are included or what skin type they are suited to.
The screen will also show the before and after results of the makeover, “so women can apply and reapply different kinds of color without having to use make-up remover and compare the results instantly,” Kobayashi said.
God…I don’t know why but I want this so much. Maybe the color could be different but I really like how it looks. Wear a short skirt it with it, a nice tight fitting top, maybe a little beret …and you’ll have a little “je ne sais quoi” to it…;)
There is nothing prettier than shorts for the summer, imho. It is the only time you can wear shorts too unless you live in a tropical country where it doesn’t matter and the people would rather go up on a hill resort to dress like they are in winter.
Anyway, check out these cute shorts from AsiaJams:
Japan will never be topped for its weirdest fashion and here’s why…
Vending machines skirt
Sewer cover purses
Glow in the dark pants for B-Boying, etc?
If you own one of these, take a picture of yourselves and send a copy of it to me. I will definitely post it up and show everyone how weird fashion has spread. Not for the sake of mocking but for the sake of showcasing.
Ravijour, the Japanese line lingerie is coming out better and some even say, bolder than Victoria’s Secret. Well, a bra’s a bra, a panty’s a panty…VS or Ravijour, it better not come from a 5 year old Papua New Guinean kid somewhere. But I have to say, Ravijour has some pretty stuff that is prompting me to want to look and buy.
