Instant make-up… without make-up! Panasonic and Kanebo invent the digital make-up snapshot
Latest innovation from Japan
A new photo retouch function invented by Japanese cosmetics giant Kanebo Cosmetics in partnership with Panasonic creates the illusion of make-up on photos. Actually, Panasonic’s Lumix digital cameras have been upgraded with a further evolution of the portrait retouch function.
The Beauty Retouch mode makes it possible to virtually cosmetically enhance human faces and make them look more glamorous. This mode is advanced with the addition of Smile Look in addition to the Aesthetic Retouch (Clear Skin, Shine Removal, Whitening of Teeth, Lift Up, Eye Emphasis), Foundation and Make-up Retouch (Lip Colour, Cheek Colour, Eye Shadow). A rich variety of trend colour is available in each cosmetic and the strength of effect can be adjusted individually according to the user’s intention. On the other hand, One-touch Make Up mode offers 4 patterns of latest trend make-up – Natural, Smokey, Glamour and Cheerful. Both colour selection and make-up effect are supervised by Kanebo COFFRET D’OR. Furthermore, a new My Beauty setting can memorize 3 patterns of adjusted parameter. Once the favorite pattern of Beauty Retouch is created, users can recall and apply it immediately when they want it.
