Virtual Make-Over

Whilst googeling for an online journalism project for university, I came across the most extraordinary website.

Taaz.com is a website that gives free virtual makeovers. It allows anyone with a digital photograph to try out new make-up trends. This makes make-up application quick, and easy allowing you to try 4,000 make-up products with a mere click of the mouse.

Taaz.com was created in March 2008 and has since grown in popularity. It was set up by two, Jacobs School, computer scientists who invented algorithm. This separates gloss from mat and helps with facial recognition. This helps Taaz.com apply photo realistic make-up to your images.

Taaz.com is free and simple to use. You upload a portrait digital photo of yourself, and the system instantly recognises your facial features. Then you can start playing around, choosing and applying, the thousands of products. You can also experiment with your hairstyle and change the colour of your eyes with contact lenses.

Other great reasons to use Taaz.com include, the ability to save products you have already used to avoid confusion, and you can post images of your new look to friends.

It sounds great fun. I will be experimenting with it tonight and will upload my thoughts very soon.
