IMAGE-PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE-PROCESSING METHOD, AND CONTROL PROGRAM

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an image-processing device and image-processing method capable of performing a suitable makeup treatment on face images taken under a variety of conditions. This image-processing device (6), which performs a process in which makeup of a specified color is composited onto skin in a face image, is provided with a color-correction unit (16) and a coloring unit (17). Given left and right makeup regions in which makeup will be composited onto the face image, the color-correction unit uses the difference between the representative color for the left makeup region and the representative color for the right makeup region of the face image to correct the makeup color and determine a left makeup color and right makeup color so as to decrease the post-compositing difference in color between the left and right makeup regions. The coloring unit generates makeup by overlaying the left makeup color and right makeup color onto the skin colors in the left and right makeup regions of the face image, respectively.
