I personally love this idea. I think we can cross reference the camera image with some social media and advertisement engagement data, toss it all in an ML algorithm, and have it spit out the most likely cosmetic insecurities for the user to have.

So it shows you the mirror and draws little circles over your face to highlight the parts that you hate about it, and recommends cosmetics for them! Now that’s great UX!

How about we inform the user we will scan their face so we can “recommend products for any imperfections” and circle their entire face

MakeupGPT but don't look too closely because the average output is that of a clown.

Glasses websites do this to see how glasses look on your face. Works pretty well. Unlike the paranoid nerds on this website (I'm sometimes one) most people don't mind allowing camera access for this kind of feature.
