Facebook, and Twitter support

add their own colors into the application
-- Ability to save favorite products to be purchased/store-mapped at any
time
-- Where-to-buy mapping functionality in the US and Canada with nearly

account to suggest the best-matching foundation colors
On Android phones and tablets, ModiFace is launching its best-selling MakeUp application with the on-device processing and ShadeMatch(TM) features noted above.
"This is the result of an intense two years of R&D that focused on developing the most advanced, user friendly, and realistic virtual makeover experience ever created. Not only have we made a major upgrade to our core technology, but we also have added numerous features that redefine the traditional virtual makeover experience including the Shade Creator(TM), so that brands/users can add their own shades, SkinMatch(TM) so that the application recommends the best products for a user's skin-tone, and the instant look gallery which utilizes a user-uploaded photo as the model. These unique features, along with our facial recognition and store-finder capability, have resulted in an application that, true to its name, is the ultimate virtual makeover tool," said Dr. Parham Aarabi, Founder and CEO of ModiFace.
