AI-powered lipstick machine uses decides which shade looks good on you and concocts it on the spot

A Korean cosmetics company has taken the guesswork out of makeup. Amorepacific's Color Tailor app analyzes your face, determines what shade of lipstick would best complement your complexion and then sends the results to a machine that mixes up a custom tube of it while you wait. The company is showing off its Lip Factory system next week at the Consumer Electronic Showcase, the annual tech convention that's moved to the virtual world in light of the pandemic. Users upload a photo of their face onto the Color Tailor app, which uses artificial intelligence to select a flattering hue from among more than 2,000 different possible combinations. The machine then mixes and matches pigments to create a custom product you can buy.
