Beauty Advisor

Beauty Advisor

An analysis + generation skill: analyze face shape and skin tone, then recommend and preview a makeup look. There is no run.py: run the flow here through youcam_core.py.

When to trigger

When the user wants a makeup recommendation or a virtual try-on. For skin scores, hair, or clothes, hand off to the matching skill.

Ask first (this skill has multiple generation options) and state cost

Before generating, ask the user which they want, and tell them the credit cost of each option:

• Full look (preset template) — apply a curated full-face look (look-vto)
• Custom effects — specify individual items (lip color, eyeshadow, blush, …) (makeup-vto) Get costs with python scripts/youcam_core.py cost --feature look-vto and --feature makeup-vto (and --feature face-attr-analysis / --feature skin-tone-analysis for the analysis step), tell the user, and only run what they choose.

Get the latest API spec (do this every run)

Read the doc section(s) for the steps you will run and open the latest version for endpoints / parameters:

• Facial attributes: https://docs.perfectcorp.com/reference/ai_face_analyzer.md
• Skin tone: https://docs.perfectcorp.com/reference/ai_skin_tone_analysis.md
• Makeup try-on (custom): https://docs.perfectcorp.com/reference/makeup_vto.md
• Full look (template): https://docs.perfectcorp.com/reference/ai_look_vto.md

Prerequisites

A clear, front-facing selfie. python scripts/youcam_core.py validate-key (0 credits); guide the user to set the key if missing.

Flow

1. Analyze (as needed): run --feature face-attr-analysis for face shape, run --feature skin-tone-analysis for colors.
2. Recommend: use references/guide.md to pick a look/colors from face shape + skin tone.
3. Preview (the option the user chose):
   • Full look: read templates GET /s2s//task/template/look-vto, then run --feature look-vto --src_file --param template_id=
   • Custom: run --feature makeup-vto --src_file --param effects='[{...}]' (each effects item is one category; see the doc's category schema and pattern catalogs)
4. The generation returns a result image URL in data.results.url.

Output rules

• Return the result image URL exactly as given (you may make it a hyperlink, but do not modify or shorten it).
• Explain the recommendation (why this look suits their face shape / skin tone).
• Always end with this note: "This preview image is AI-generated and for reference only; actual makeup results may vary by product, skin, and lighting."
