        abstract = {The project "Perfect Blend: Custom Foundation Matching for South Indian Skin Tone" tackles the makeup industry's challenge of accurately matching foundation to individual skin tones. The project develops an innovative website that captures precise skin tones and generates corresponding color codes, focusing on the predominant color of the face while accounting for common discolorations like sun tans. By measuring facial dimensions and excluding areas such as the beard, eyebrows, and lips, the website determines the exact amount of foundation needed, optimizing product usage and minimizing waste. Future enhancements aim to enable the mixing of custom foundation shades, specifically addressing the unique skin tones of individuals in South India. This approach ensures a more reliable and inclusive solution for foundation matching, catering to the diverse beauty needs of the region.},
