More facial recognition software countermeasures.

The researchers are not the first to demonstrate how makeup can be used to fool facial recognition systems. In 2010, artist Adam Harvey's CV Dazzle project presented a host of makeup looks designed to thwart algorithms, inspired by "dazzle" camouflage used by naval vessels in World War I.
Various studies have shown how facial recognition systems can be bypassed digitally, such as by creating "master faces" that could impersonate others. The paper references a study where a printable sticker was attached to a hat to bypass the facial recognition system, and another where eyeglass frames were printed.
While all of these methods might hide someone from facial recognition algorithms, they have the side effect of making you very visible to other humans—especially if attempted somewhere with high security, like an airport.
In the researchers' experiment, they addressed this by having the makeup artist only use conventional makeup techniques and neutral color palettes to achieve a natural look. Considering its success in the study, the researchers say this method could technically be replicated by anyone using store bought makeup.
