That’s the latest innovation from Japan: instant make-up… without make-up! An original concept derived from the unique collaboration between Panasonic and Kanebo Cosmetics. Actually, it is a further evolution of the portrait retouch function already available on latest Panasonic’s Lumix digital cameras. Once the photo is shot, the new Beauty Retouch Mode enables to add foundation, eye shadow, lipstick, and cheek makeup to the image. The shades are inspired from Kanebo’s Coffret d’Or brand.
Four makeup patterns
“By supervising the retouch effects of the new Lumix DMC-FX80 digital camera based on its decades of expertise with makeup, Kanebo Cosmetics has helped create a beautiful yet natural digital makeup finish with a rich gradation of eye shadows and foundation effects that add dimension to the complexion,” says the Japanese cosmetics giant in a release.
The new camera allows retouching the skin, eyes, lips and cheeks separately. In addition, the advanced Beauty Retouch Mode also provides four makeup patterns recommended by Coffret d’Or. By selecting one from the options of ”Sweet”, “Cool”, “Celebrity” and “Happy”, a single press of a button makes it possible to generate a coordinated, fully made-up image with eye shadow, lip rouge, and cheek blush.
