1. A system for making a modified customized cosmetic product from an initial customized cosmetic product, comprising,
at least one computer that includes at least one memory for storing computer-executable instructions and at least one processing unit for executing the instructions stored in the at least one memory; and
a device having an image sensor, a light source and an application installed thereon, wherein execution of the instructions programs the at least one processing unit to perform operation comprising:
providing a known search key for a user by the application, the application configured to provide the known search key by: capturing at least one image of at least one skin region of the user, processing the at least one image and automatically calibrating settings of the device having the image sensor based on user data and device data from the at least one image, capturing at least one further image of the at least one skin region of the user using the calibrated settings, processing the at least one further image of the skin region of the user to provide calibrated user and device data, and saving the calibrated user and device data in the known search key associated with the user;
specifying an initial customized cosmetic product having a cosmetic formulation by the known search key, wherein the known search key further comprises at least one search component associated with the initial customized cosmetic product, the at least one search component including one or more of a color component, a coverage component, and a dryness component, and wherein the initial customized cosmetic product associated with the knowns search key is stored in the system as a reference specification having the cosmetic formulation;
providing a user interface comprising a slider, button, or image for the user to modify at least one of the at least one search components in the known search key;
receiving an instruction from the user associated with the known search key and the initial customized cosmetic product through the user interface to modify at least one of the at least one search components associated with the cosmetic formulation in the known search key to create a modified search key, wherein the modified search key is also associated with the user and stored in the system, and wherein the user interface provides the user with a selection of a search key component to modify, wherein the selection of the search key component to modify provides a direction for modification that is based on a past likelihood of direction for modification;
processing the modified search key to automatically determine a modified customized cosmetic product for the user by evaluating a neighborhood of closest keys and storing the modified customized cosmetic product associated with the modified search key in the system in a reference specification having a modified cosmetic formulation; and
processing the modified search key to determine manufacturing instructions for making the modified customized cosmetic product.
