The title and subtitle present the gist of this Idea. You scan the
face so that the full-color 3D-printed mask can be a perfect fit.
The mask even has microscopic holes in it so the skin can
breathe. The outside of the mask can be the woman's ideal
image of herself --or any other face she
wants to wear.
Nefertiti, Neferteri, Helen of Troy, Cleopatra....
For clarification (per one of the annotations), I'm talking about
making a very thin mask in a
3D
printer, and then the woman puts on the mask. I'm fully aware
that the mask needs to be flexible; I'm assuming that relevant
materials can be 3D-printed, even though most such printers
today do not feed such materials through their print-heads.

When I thought of this, I also thought that perhaps this
could be the "killer app" that makes 3D printing go
"mainstream".... |
|
| |
When you say 3D-printed mask, are you talking
about a mask made out of typical 3D printing
material like rigid plastic? I don't envision that
catching on. |

It would be hypocritical to accept makeup but not this. |

[+] Easily (in HB terms) accomplished. For a colour mask (ie: no contour chages) just apply skin cream on the bottom, layer dry particles of makeup colour, and apply clearcoat (shiny or dull) to the top. For contour changing, I'm guessing rubber (or a hard plastic, depending) could be applied, in between the base coat and the clearcoat. |

I'm not sure how it would be made breathable though. |
|
| |
I don't think "breathable" is possible without adding energy
for the transport of air and water. |
|
| |
You could do away with the mask. Just have an
inkjet printhead mounted on a 3-axis system, to
apply liquid makeup precisely. |

Preheated by the Jetsons, m'lord. |

Probably going to have to be some non-allergenic soy product or something. |

I too was thinking along the same lines as Max. |

What's the rubber that Hollywood uses? |

For material: the resin concoction that makes Lenin steadily the same age? |
