Fashion comprises not only clothing combination but also facial cosmetic, hairstyle, accessories, poses, and so on. To investigate “Kawaii” fashion, we are also interested in looking at the cosmetics application. In this research, we focus on the lipstick colors of popular brands in Japan.We collect a total of 294 lip colors that are downloadable as sample lip color images from the five cosmetic brand’s website; CHANEL, YSL, MAC, Etude House and Canmake.We showed the preliminary result in the analysis of color feature for lipstick, separated by lipstick brands and found that CHANEL and MAC were distinct and able to be classified from the other brands. Meanwhile, we found that YSL, on the other hand, contains many variations so it can be difficult to create a prediction model. Future work includes adding more database on each brand and explore other classification methods.(Peeraya Sripian, Keiko Miyatake, Kejkaew Thanasuan, Michiko Ohkura)
