A Study on the Digital Makeup Design Using Retro Characteristics

As a new post-COVID-19 trend, non-contact digital technologies have been applied to various fields. This study attempted to create digital makeup styles based on retro design characteristics according to the new trends in the digital culture, using Adobe Photoshop CC2020, a tablet PC, and a stylus pen after scanning model photos. The retro design characteristics were categorized into retro, romantic, ethnic, and Kitsch aspects, and the results found the following: In the retro aspect, retro makeup styles from the 1990s were reproduced by recalling memories. In the romantic style, elegant and feminine romanticism was expressed. From an ethnic perspective, ethnic makeup styles were created with liberal and passionate colors mixing indigenous and oriental images. In terms of Kitsch, makeup styles were created entertainingly through the free expression of inner emotions, using anti-aesthetic and playful painting techniques. The above results confirmed the characteristics and importance of retro design. This study was able to maximize the effects of works by taking advantage of retro styles characteristics. Furthermore, it is possible to simulate identical makeup using data on an actual model. Considering the current trends, digital content is expected to spread around the globe. Therefore, the suggestion of creative design by makeup artists would further broaden makeup-related fields. It is anticipated that this study would be a starting point for expanding creative and unique designs and the styling sectors.
