Media make-up students from City of Oxford College worked recently with MUAs from Charlotte Tilbury to attempt to fool facial recognition software by applying prosthetics and creating special make-up looks. This was part of the Oxford IF Science and Ideas Festival, and the students involved created two different theatrical make-up looks. The students were successful; their dramatic looks focussing on the eyes exposed the vulnerabilities of facial recognition systems.
