A method and apparatus is provided for virtual color makeover of a customer's face. A digital image is taken of the customer's face. Natural skin color is determined by a differential analysis among at least two different sites along the face to identify an area without color. The identified area without color is then used as a basis for projecting the customer's face with the natural skin color. Consultant's choice of preprogrammed color palettes matching the measured natural skin color is then projected on the facial image. A customer's personal choice such as fashion, natural or go-to-work looks can be registered for modifying the consultant's choice color palette. The selected color palette can then be identified as a set of color cosmetic products which are provided to the customer.
