Abstract

Systems and methods for previewing beauty cosmetic application through an integrated application of an electronic device such as, but not limited to, a smartphone or tablet computer.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . On an electronic device, a method for viewing application of a cosmetic comprising:
 selecting a picture representative of a test subject matter;   identifying a desired portion on the test subject matter to apply the cosmetic;   selecting a color from a color palette to apply to the desired portion on the test subject matter; and,   applying the selected color to the desired portion on the test subject matter.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of selecting a picture representative of a test subject matter is obtaining a picture from a gallery. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the gallery is stored on the electronic device. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the gallery is stored on cloud based storage. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of selecting a picture representative of a test subject matter is obtaining a picture by taking a picture with a camera. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising a step of adjusting size and orientation of the picture representative of the test subject matter prior to the step of identifying a desired portion on the test subject matter to apply the cosmetic. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the step of adjusting size and orientation is pinch to zoom and using fingers to rotate the picture on a screen of the electronic device. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the desired portion on the test subject matter are lips. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the desired portion on the test subject matter are cheeks. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of identifying a desired portion on the test subject matter to apply the cosmetic further comprises manually adjusting an outline of the desired portion on the test subject matter. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising a step of providing a preloaded color palette. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising a step of creating a custom color palette. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the step of creating a custom color palette is using an eyedropper tool to select a color from a gallery picture. 
     
     
         14 . An electronic device for previewing application of cosmetics, the electronic device comprising: a processor operable to run an integrated application providing functions to select a picture representative of a test subject matter; identify a desired portion on the test subject matter to apply the cosmetic; select a color from a color palette to apply to the desired portion on the test subject matter; and, apply the selected color to the desired portion on the test subject matter. 
     
     
         15 . The electronic device of  claim 14 , wherein the electronic device comprises a portable electronic device. 
     
     
         16 . The electronic device of  claim 14 , wherein the processor is further operable to bookmark a favorite color to a library. 
     
     
         17 . The electronic device of  claim 16 , wherein the processor is further operable to apply a kiss symbol to a photo in the favorite color and send the photo via email. 
     
     
         18 . The electronic device of  claim 14 , further comprising an integrated camera. 
     
     
         19 . The electronic device of  claim 14 , wherein the processor is further operable to add gloss to make the color appear sheerer. 
     
     
         20 . Machine-readable media previewing application of cosmetics, the machine-readable media comprising machine-readable instructions recorded thereon for: selecting a picture representative of a test subject matter;
 identifying a desired portion on the test subject matter to apply the cosmetic;   selecting a color from a color palette to apply to the desired portion on the test subject matter; and,   applying the selected color to the desired portion on the test subject matter.
