1. A makeup simulation method comprising the steps of:
- (a) determining a desirable face and performing image processing to produce a plurality of images of imagined post-makeup faces with a different mixing ratio by mixing an image of said desirable face with an image of a face of a subject person;
(b) displaying said plurality of images of imagined post-makeup faces, prepared in said step (a), on a monitor screen and selectively determining from said displayed imagined post-makeup faces an ideal post-makeup face said subject person desires; and
(c) deriving a makeup procedure from an image of said ideal post-makeup face, determined in said step (b), based on a previously set makeup program.

Abstract
New findings such as the highlight theory which determines the impression of a face are utilized for the technology of correcting the photograph of face image and for the makeup technology. The method includes determining a requested face which is requested by the person who wants the photograph to be corrected or wants to be made up, and creating an image of the face corrected or made up by executing image-processings such as contour—combining of the original face image or the face of the person based on the requested face.
