A Comparative Method Based on the Visualization of Cosmetic Items Using Their Various Aspects

In recent years, an increasing number of people are using information on the Internet to make their purchasing decisions. However, it is difficult to assess cosmetic items through online sources, because the value of a cosmetic product depends on the user's skin quality and personal preferences. Therefore, we have developed a system that enables a customer to compare the characteristics of a cosmetic item easily by visualizing the differences between one they use and another they are thinking of buying. We have also developed a system that recommends cosmetic items based on the visualization of their various aspects. This paper describes these systems and provides a questionnaire. The answers to this survey will help us understand what is important to users as they choose their favorite cosmetics.
