# Systems and methods for automated makeup application

## Abstract

Systems and methods for automated makeup application allow a user to select and apply desired makeup styles to the user's face. The systems and methods include a computer application with a graphical user interface which allows selection of a look from a plurality of preconfigured looks. A camera coupled with a robotic arm records a face map and color coding and sends that data to be stored on a virtual server database. The application calculates formula quantity and a pump extracts desired formula amounts from appropriate formula cartridges which it releases into reservoirs on the robotic arm's head. An airbrush compressor mixes the formula and plug triggers release one of several airbrush nozzles to start spraying the user's face with formula. A cleaning mechanism is provided between makeup applications and after the final application.
