Mitsukoshi Departmental Store in Ginza and Fujitsu has teamed up to create a system called “Virtual Realtime Makeup System.” It takes an image of your face and as you pick up your favorite cosmetics you will see immediately the results on your face in the LCD screen. It is still on an experimental period up to Feb 12.  While the idea as such is innovative, I see quite a few problems with the system. Firstly, the system is based on image processing algorithms that try to guess how a particular makeup would look on your face. Since there are so many unpredictable factors that will have to be taken into consideration for these to work really well (such as lighting, face texture etc.) , the results can at best be approximate. Moreover, I would surely miss the personal touch of an in-store professional who could recommend the ideal combination for my face. However, any system does have its place, and I can see shy ladies who want to keep things personal giving this a try. Also, stores should be happy with this concept since they no longer have to dole out extra samples and can axe some more human jobs. For me, though, the minuses beat the pluses squarely.
