So as some of you may know, I work for a company that is developing a product that applies makeup on faces in an interactive context. You can apply lipstick, blush, etc to touch up an existing photo that you can upload from your computer. There is also a notion of a social network built in so that you can share your makeovers with your friends along with content pages for tips and tricks for practical usages and stuff. Of course, all of these services will be free.

My primary role in the company is to develop the software surrounding the product, but as a startup, everyone does everything. For example, I would also be responsible for testing various parts of the code. In any case, one of our tests spawned a site which exhibits some interesting edge cases.

Here is a sample from that site. All images on that site were created completely with our makeup editor. No additional photoshop work was done.

Holy crap.

The trade:

LA gets:
Pau Gasol
