MakeupMirror: Improving Facial Attribute Preservation in Diffusion Models for Makeup Transfer
arXiv:2606.20094v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Makeup transfer models enable fun augmented reality (AR) experiences as well as virtual try-on (VTO) for online makeup shopping. While recent state-of-the-art diffusion based solutions such as Stable-Makeup dramatically improve the accuracy and realism of makeup transfer, they still face limitations in identity and skin color preservation, making production-level VTO for makeup shopping unrealistic. In this work, we propose MakeupMirror, a diffusion-based approach to makeup transfer that makes significant progress towards preserving facial feat
This development is happening now due to the rapid advancements in diffusion models, which are making increasingly realistic and accurate AI-driven experiences possible, particularly in computer vision tasks. The focus has shifted from basic functionality to refining nuanced aspects like identity preservation for practical applications.
This work refines a core capability for augmented reality (AR) and virtual try-on (VTO) technologies, pushing them closer to production-ready status by addressing critical issues of identity and skin tone preservation, which are essential for user adoption and ethical use. It enhances the economic viability and user experience of widespread virtual cosmetic applications.
The improved preservation of facial attributes in makeup transfer models increases the reliability and trustworthiness of virtual try-on experiences, making them more attractive for consumers and businesses alike. This moves the technology beyond novelty to a more practical and effective solution for online shopping.
