Makeup transfer: A review

Abstract

Abstract Makeup transfer (MT) aims to transfer the makeup style from a given reference makeup face image to a source image while preserving face identity and background information. In recent years, MT has attracted the attention of many scholars, and it has a wide range of application prospects and research value. Since then, many methods have been proposed to accomplish MT, most of which are based on Generative Adversarial Network methods. A taxonomy of existing algorithms in the field of MT is first proposed. Then, evaluation methods are proposed, existing methods are analysed, and existing datasets are introduced. This paper finally discusses the current problems in the field of MT and the trend of future research.
