Description
RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This application claims priority from U.S. provisional
patent Ser. No. 62/074,511 filed Nov. 3, 2014 and entitled FACIAL
STRUCTURAL SHAPING. The contents of that application are
incorporated herein in their entirety.
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0002] This disclosure relates to cosmetic materials, and in
particular to facial shaping techniques, systems, methods and
related devices.
[0003] The Golden Ratio is often denoted by the Greek letter
(`phi`). It expresses a relationship that the sum of two quantities
is to the larger quantity as the larger is to the smaller (its
numerical approximation is 1.618033989). The Golden Ratio is a
proportion universally found in Nature, expressed in the
arrangement of branches along the stems of plants, in the placement
of the shell spirals in snails, or in the features of the human
body. The Golden Ratio is widely believed to be a natural principle
related to the laws of equilibrium. Many great artists have
proportioned their works according to the Golden Ratio, as it is
believed to be aesthetically pleasing. Hence, a "perfect" face
would display Golden Ratio proportions such as these: Distance from
Top-of-the-head to Chin divided by Width-of-head equals ;
Length-of-Lips divided by Width-of-Nose equals ; Outside distance
between Eyes divided by Length-of-Lips equals ; etc.
[0004] It follows that, on a "perfect" face, the high point (HP) of
the eyebrow would divide the eyebrow arch at precisely the Golden
Ratio point between the starting point of the eyebrow (SP) and the
ending point of the eyebrow (EP) (SP-HP divided by HP-EP=).
[0005] Other features of the face can be formed, shaped, emphasized
and de-emphasized according to appropriate proportions.
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0006] One method and system in accordance with the present
disclosure includes providing a frontal image of a person's face
including the tip of the person's nose, nostrils, eyes including
irises, supraorbital margins, and eyebrows.
[0007] Another method and system in accordance with present
disclosure includes providing a plurality of facial templates, then
positioning, one by one, each template of the plurality of
templates such that the template aligns with the frontal image of a
person's face.
[0008] Each template can be presented on a hard copy surface such
as paper or a transparency and is used for overlaying on the face
of the person. Alternatively the template can be provided as an
electronic format and overlayed on a photo representation of the
person's face.
[0009] Then the template is used to facilitate forming, shaping,
emphasizing and de-emphasizing features of the face according to
appropriate proportions and desired representations as provided on
the templates.
[0010] The methods and systems in accordance with the present
disclosure enable even a relatively unskilled beautician to quickly
and accurately determine the most flattering, ideal shape of the
facial features for any given customer according to the Golden
Ratio standard and/or different desired characteristics.
[0011] Similarly the methods and systems can be used by surgeons in
sculpting a face to meet the Golden Ratio standard and/or different
desired characteristics.
[0012] Further features, advantages and characteristics of the
embodiments of this disclosure will be apparent from reading the
following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the
drawing figures.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] A method comprises providing a frontal image of a person's
face, including a base of the person's nose, tip end of the chin,
cheeks, nostrils, eyes including irises, supraorbital margins,
ears, and eyebrows. A first distance extends in length from a point
at the base of the nose to the tip end of the chin; forming a first
guide line on a cheek at a radius substantially equal to the first
distance; the first guide line being user to demarcate a first
limit for the application of contouring on the cheek.
[0031] A second distance is less than the first distance and is at
the golden ratio proportion relative to the first distance and
forming a second guide line on the cheek at a radius substantially
at the golden ratio distance. The second guide line is used to
demarcate a second limit for the application of contouring on the
cheek; and the area between the two lines is demarcated for the
application of contouring.
[0032] A facial stencil on the face with a cut out is applied and
used to relate to the first and second guide lines, the stencil
having at least one of peripheral outline including a straight edge
or a straight line for location relative the face. The straight
edge or the straight line is for location substantially
horizontally or vertically relative to the face when contouring is
to be applied to the face, such that the face and the stencil are
aligned in a correct vertical sense with each other when the lines
for contouring are demarcated. Makeup is applied to the face to
represent and shape the contouring.
[0033] The method includes creating a third guide line from the
center of the lips where the top and bottom lips meet each other,
and directed towards the end of the eye. A fourth guide line is
created from the end of the lips where the lips engage the face and
the line extends wherein the third and fourth lines are
substantially parallel.
[0034] The area between the third and fourth lines are demarcated
for the application of highlighting, and selectively should there
be an overlap between the area between the lines this is demarcated
for the application of contouring and the area is demarcated for
the application of highlighting, and then this area is blended.
[0035] A method comprises providing a frontal image of a person's
face, including a tip of the person's nose, nostrils, eyes
including irises, supraorbital margins, and eyebrows. A starting
point for an eyebrow of each eye is determined, a fifth distance
for that starting point is ascertained, the fifth distance being
determined by determining the golden ratio proportion of the
distance between the center of the irises of the two eyes such that
the golden ratio point indicates the starting point of the
respective eyebrow.
[0036] A facial stencil is used on the face to relate to the
starting point and the determination of the fifth distance. The
stencil has at least one of peripheral outline including a straight
edge or a straight line for location relative the face, the
straight edge or the straight line being for location substantially
horizontally or vertically relative to the face when contouring is
to be applied to the face. As such the face and the stencil are
aligned in a correct vertical sense with each other when the
starting point and the determination of the fifth distance are
demarcated. Makeup is applied to the face to represent the starting
point.
[0037] A method comprises providing a frontal image of a person's
face, including a base of the person's nose, tip end of the chin,
cheeks, nostrils, eyes including irises, supraorbital margins,
ears, and eyebrows. A seventh prime distance extends in length from
a point at the center of the lips to a point between at the base of
the nose.
[0038] The seventh distance extends in length from at the top of
the top lip at the center of the lip to a point between at the base
of the nose. A position above the top lip is such that the seventh
distance is less than the seventh prime distance and being at the
golden ratio proportion relative to the seventh prime distance and
forming a guide line substantially at the golden ratio distance.
The guide line is used to demarcate a limit for the application of
contouring above the top lip and directed towards the ends of the
lips on either side of the center of the lips. The area below the
guide line and the top of the lip is demarcated for the application
of contouring.
[0039] A facial stencil is used on the face with a cut out to
relate to the seventh distance and guide line. The stencil has at
least one of peripheral outline including a straight edge or a
straight line for location relative the face, the straight edge or
the straight line being for location substantially horizontally or
vertically relative to the face when contouring is to be applied to
the face. The face and the stencil are aligned in a correct
vertical sense with each other when the seventh distance and guide
line are demarcated.
[0040] A method comprises providing a frontal image of a person's
face, including a base of the person's nose, tip end of the chin,
cheeks, nostrils, eyes including irises, supraorbital margins,
ears, and eyebrows.
[0041] An eighth distance extends in length from a point at the
base of the nose to the tip end of the chin. A ninth distance
extends in length from a point at the base of the nose to a point
between the eyebrows and above the nose. A tenth distance extends
in length from the point between the eyebrows and above the nose to
a hair line above the nose. The area in the tenth distance is
demarcated for the application of contouring to an extent to render
it in appearance conceptually equal to the eighth distance.
[0042] A facial stencil applied on the face with a cut out relates
the eighth, ninth and tenth distance. The stencil has at least one
of peripheral outline including a straight edge or a straight line
for location relative the face, the straight edge or the straight
line being for location substantially horizontally or vertically
relative to the face when contouring is to be applied to the face.
The face and the stencil are aligned in a correct vertical sense
with each other when the eighth, ninth and tenth distance are
demarcated.
[0043] A method comprises providing a frontal image of a person's
face, including a base of the person's nose, tip end of the chin,
cheeks, nostrils, eyes including irises, supraorbital margins,
ears, and eyebrows. An iris diameter is measured, and at the tip of
the nose a portion for highlighting equal to the iris diameter is
formed.
[0044] A facial stencil is used on the face with a cut out to
relate to the portion at the tip of the nose, the stencil having at
least one of peripheral outline including a straight edge or a
straight line for location relative the face, the straight edge or
the straight line being for location substantially horizontally or
vertically relative to the face when contouring is to be applied to
the face. The face and the stencil are aligned in a correct
vertical sense with each other when portion at the tip of the nose
is demarcated.
[0045] Facial stencils are provided for use in a system of the
disclosures.
[0046] As shown in FIG. 1A, there is a system and method comprising
providing a frontal image of a person's face, including a base of
the person's nose, tip end of the chin, cheeks, nostrils, eyes
including irises, supraorbital margins, ears, and eyebrows.
[0047] The system and method comprises determining a first distance
extending in length from a point at the base of the nose to the tip
end of the chin.
[0048] Then there is formed a first guide line on a cheek at a
radius substantially equal to the first distance; the first guide
line being used to demarcate a first limit for the application of
contouring on the cheek.
[0049] A second distance is determined being less than the first
distance and being at the golden ratio proportion relative to the
first distance.
[0050] A second guide line is formed on the cheek at a radius
substantially at the golden ratio distance; the second guide line
being used to demarcate a second limit for the application of
contouring on the cheek.
[0051] The center of the curves of lines 1 and 2 is the center of
the iris of the respective eye.
[0052] The area between the two lines is demarcated for the
application of contouring.
[0053] The system includes creating a third guide line from the
center of the lips where the top and bottom lips meet each other,
and directed towards the end of the eye. A fourth guide line is
created from the end of the lips where the lips engage the face and
extending the line wherein the third and fourth lines being
substantially parallel.
[0054] The area between the third and fourth lines is demarcated
for the application of highlighting.
[0055] Selectively, should there be an overlap between the area
between the lines demarcated for the application of contouring and
the area demarcated for the application of highlighting, then this
area is blended.
[0056] As shown in FIG. 1B, the implementation of the shaping of
the face of FIG. 1A is achieved by using a mask or stencil 1a with
cut outs, which can be physical or electronically depicted on a
screen having the characteristics of an at least partly vertical
periphery or lines 1b and an at least partly horizontal periphery
or lines 1c. These lines are necessary so that when person lines up
their fade with the mask there alignment is correct. The face of
the person when aligned with the mask or stencil should be straight
and vertically disposed with the mask or stencil guide lines or
periphery so that the overall mask or stencil is correctly aligned
and when used to establish the location of the lines 1, 2, 3 and 4
which are also formed or placed on the mask or stencil, the mask or
stencil is correctly located relative to the face.
[0057] As shown in FIG. 2A, there is a system and method comprising
providing a frontal image of a person's face, including a tip of
the person's nose, nostrils, eyes including irises, supraorbital
margins, and eyebrows.
[0058] A starting point for an eyebrow of each eye is determined. A
fifth distance for that starting point is ascertained. The fifth
distance is determined by determining the golden ratio proportion
of the distance between the center of the irises of the two eyes
such that the golden ratio point indicates the starting point of
the respective eyebrow.
[0059] As shown in FIG. 2B, the implementation of the shaping of
the face of FIG. 2A is achieved by using a mask or stencil 2a with
cut outs, which can be physical or electronically depicted on a
screen having the characteristics of an at least partly vertical
periphery or lines 2b and an at least partly horizontal periphery
or lines 2c. These lines are necessary so that when person lines up
their fade with the mask there alignment is correct. The face of
the person when aligned with the mask or stencil should be straight
and vertically disposed with the mask or stencil guide lines or
periphery so that the overall mask or stencil is correctly aligned
and when used to establish the location of the lines and spaces 5,
5', 6 and 6' which are also formed or placed on the mask or
stencil, the mask or stencil is correctly located relative to the
face.
[0060] As shown in FIG. 3A, there is a system and method comprising
providing a frontal image of a person's face, including a base of
the person's nose, tip end of the chin, cheeks, nostrils, eyes
including irises, supraorbital margins, ears, and eyebrows.
[0061] A seventh prime distance extends in length from at the
center of the lips to a point between at the base of the nose is
determined. A seventh distance extends in length from at the top of
the top lip at the center of the lip to a point between at the base
of the nose is determined.
[0062] Then, a position above the top lip is determined such that
the seventh distance is less than the seventh prime distance. This
is at the golden ratio proportion relative to the seventh distance
and forming a guide line substantially at the golden ratio
distance.
[0063] The guide line is used to demarcate a limit for the
application of contouring above the top lip and directed towards
the ends of the lips on either side of the center of the lips. The
area below the guide line and the top of the lip is demarcated for
the application of contouring.
[0064] In other cases, the guide line is used to demarcate a limit
for the application of highlighting above the top lip and directed
towards the ends of the lips on either side of the center of the
lips. The area below the guide line seven prime below the nose is
demarcated for the application of contouring.
[0065] As shown in FIG. 3B, the implementation of the shaping of
the face of FIG. 3A is achieved by using a mask or stencil 3a with
cut outs, which can be physical or electronically depicted on a
screen having the characteristics of an at least partly vertical
periphery or lines 3b and an at least partly horizontal periphery
or lines 3c. These lines are necessary so that when person lines up
their fade with the mask there alignment is correct. The face of
the person when aligned with the mask or stencil should be straight
and vertically disposed with the mask or stencil guide lines or
periphery so that the overall mask or stencil is correctly aligned
and when used to establish the location of the lines and spaces 7
and 7' which are also formed or placed on the mask or stencil, the
mask or stencil is correctly located relative to the face.
[0066] As shown in FIG. 4A, there is a system and method comprising
providing a frontal image of a person's face, including a base of
the person's nose, tip end of the chin, cheeks, nostrils, eyes
including irises, supraorbital margins, ears, and eyebrows.
[0067] An eighth distance extending in length from a point at the
base of the nose to the tip end of the chin is determined. A ninth
distance extends in length from a point at the base of the nose to
a point between the eyebrows and above the nose is determined. A
tenth distance extends in length from the point between the
eyebrows and above the nose to a hair line above the nose is
determined.
[0068] The area in the tenth distance is demarcated for the
application of contouring to an extent to render it in appearance
conceptually equal to the ninth distance.
[0069] The area in the eighth distance is demarcated for the
application of contouring to an extent to render it in appearance
conceptually equal to the ninth distance.
[0070] The area in the tenth distance is for contouring adjacent to
and below the hairline, and the area above and adjacent to the
eyebrows is non-contoured.
[0071] In some cases the area in the eighth distance is demarcated
for the application of contouring to an extent to render it in
appearance conceptually equal to the ninth distance, And the area
in the tenth distance is for contouring adjacent to and below the
hairline, and the area above and adjacent to the eyebrows is
non-contoured. The ninth distance extends in length from a point at
the base of the nose to a point between the eyebrows and above the
nose is determined and is such that the eighth, ninth and tenth
distances are substantially equal.
[0072] As shown in FIG. 4B, the implementation of the shaping of
the face of FIG. 4A is achieved by using a mask or stencil 4a with
cut outs, which can be physical or electronically depicted on a
screen having the characteristics of an at least partly vertical
periphery or lines 4b and an at least partly horizontal periphery
or lines 4c. These lines are necessary so that when person lines up
their fade with the mask there alignment is correct. The face of
the person when aligned with the mask or stencil should be straight
and vertically disposed with the mask or stencil guide lines or
periphery so that the overall mask or stencil is correctly aligned
and when used to establish the location of the lines or spaces 8, 9
and 10 which are also formed or placed on the mask or stencil, the
mask or stencil is correctly located relative to the face.
[0073] As shown in FIG. 5A, there is a system and method comprising
providing a frontal image of a person's face, including a base of
the person's nose, tip end of the chin, cheeks, nostrils, eyes
including irises, supraorbital margins, ears, and eyebrows.
[0074] An iris diameter is measured, and at the tip of the nose a
portion for highlighting equal to the iris diameter is formed. In
some cases, there can be contouring applied to that part of the top
of the nose. This iris-sized tip portion of the nose can help
define the overall facial structural shaping.
[0075] Highlighting is applied on a ridge of the nose between the
nose tip towards the point between the eyes and contouring is
applied on the nostrils to either side of the highlighted area.
[0076] An eleventh line is determined from a point above the nose
and extending outwardly parallel to the third line. Further on the
opposite side of the face there is created a twelfth line directed
from the center of nose in an opposite side of the face.
[0077] Highlighting is applied in the forehead zone between those
tenth and eleventh lines.
[0078] As shown in FIG. 5B, the implementation of the shaping of
the face of FIG. 5A is achieved by using a mask or stencil 5a with
cut outs, which can be physical or electronically depicted on a
screen having the characteristics of an at least partly vertical
periphery or lines 5b and an at least partly horizontal periphery
or lines 5c. These lines are necessary so that when person lines up
their fade with the mask there alignment is correct. The face of
the person when aligned with the mask or stencil should be straight
and vertically disposed with the mask or stencil guide lines or
periphery so that the overall mask or stencil is correctly aligned
and when used to establish the location of the lines and spaces 3,
11 and 12 which are also formed or placed on the mask or stencil,
the mask or stencil is correctly located relative to the face.
[0079] In FIG. 6A, there is a system and method comprising
providing a frontal image of a person's face, including a base of
the person's nose, tip end of the chin, cheeks, nostrils, eyes
including irises, supraorbital margins, ears, and eyebrows and
integrating features of the features of FIGS. 1-5 into the
face.
[0080] As shown in FIG. 6B, the implementation of the shaping of
the face of FIG. 6A is achieved by using a mask or stencil 6a with
cut outs, which can be physical or electronically depicted on a
screen having the characteristics of an at least partly vertical
periphery or lines 6b and an at least partly horizontal periphery
or lines 6c. These lines are necessary so that when person lines up
their fade with the mask there alignment is correct. The face of
the person when aligned with the mask or stencil should be straight
and vertically disposed with the mask or stencil guide lines or
periphery so that the overall mask or stencil is correctly aligned
and when used to establish the location of the lines and spaces 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 5', 6, 6', 7, 7', 8, 9 and 10 which are also formed or
placed on the mask or stencil, the mask or stencil is correctly
located relative to the face.
[0081] In FIGS. 7 and 8 there is shown a system and method applying
the method or system of anyone or more of FIGS. 1 to 6. This is
affected by applying a template or silhouette representing the
lines and distances over a face of the person. The face 202 is
represented as a photograph on a paper, transparency, monitor or
screen of a computer, tablet or smart phone 200. The user 204 would
apply, for instance by dragging as shown by arrow 206, the
silhouette representation of FIGS. 1 to 6 over the photo of face
202 and with that, will be able to match a design an appropriate
makeup formation over the face 202.
[0082] In other forms a surgeon would be using this disclosed
method and system to design, create and build face structures as
may be need in reconstructive surgery.
[0083] Methods and systems in accordance with the present
disclosure enable even a relatively unskilled person to quickly and
accurately determine the location and shape of her eyebrows
according to the Golden Ratio standard. One exemplary method of the
present disclosure is illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 6. The image 202 of
the person's face may be a reflection in a mirror or it may be a
displayed photographic image of the person's face on a display
device such as on a laptop display, desktop computer display,
tablet computer or cell phone screen. In a preferred embodiment,
the image of the person's face is a full-face frontal view (i.e.,
taken at an angle of 0 degrees relative to the face). In another
embodiment, the image may show only a portion of the face.
[0084] In other embodiments, the image may be taken from one side
of the face at an angle of not greater than 45 degrees relative to
the face, or more preferably at an angle of not greater than 20
degrees relative to the face, or more preferably at an angle of not
greater than 10 degrees relative to the face.
[0085] A method and a system of applying the stencil and system
uses a template representing the lines and distances over a face of
the person, the face being represented as a photograph on a paper,
transparency, monitor, or screen of a computer, tablet or smart
phone.
[0086] In FIGS. 9 and 10 there are flow diagrams of a program for
use by a person using the photograph on a camera monitor or screen
including a frontal image of the person's face and acting to
superimpose a template form over the face.
[0087] In FIGS. 9 and 10 there are flow diagrams showing the
process by which the application is used electronically. The mirror
utility of the app. on the screen shows the face of the user. The
face is aligned vertically and/or horizontally with the image on
the screen. The program will move to the next stage when this
alignment is affected. If the alignment moves off vertical and or
horizontal the program will not proceed to the next stage. There is
a continual feedback to ensure the correct alignment.
[0088] At a next stage anyone or more of the images from FIG. 1A,
2A, 3A, 4A, 5A or 6A can be overlaid on the facial image. There is
continual feedback and comparison of the facial image after makeup
and/or contouring is applied to the face of the user with the ideal
image as shown in FIG. 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A or 6A on the screen. When
there is a satisfactory or acceptable result the user can move the
program to the next image of FIG. 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A or 6A. The
user can begin and end with any one of FIG. 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A or
6A and apply them in any order.
[0089] Regarding the superimposition action of the contour lines
over the picture, this can be adjustable. This allows the user to
drag that contour line image, drop it over the specific part of the
face, and to stretch or minimize by using a touch screen to
properly position it. The alignment needs to keep the
proportions.
[0090] Changes and alternatives may be introduced without departing
from the spirit and broad scope of my invention as defined by the
claims below and their equivalents.
