Makeup-transfer applies the reference makeup to the source face while preserving the source identity. Despite advances in full-face editing by diffusion-based methods, strong regional controllability, makeup fidelity, and identity preservation remain challenging.

The study audits four image aesthetic scorers—LAION-Aesthetics, PickScore, ImageReward, and HPSv2—using pixel‑level interventions on skin tone and body type in both synthetic and real images. It finds that most scorers exhibit a fidelity preference: unaltered images receive the highest scores, while perturbations in either direction are penalized in an inverted‑U pattern, and this effect is largely independent of the skin operator. Synthetic‑only audits are misleading, as the apparent preference for darker skin in synthetic faces reverses or weakens when evaluated on real faces, and cross‑scorer results vary widely, underscoring the need for real‑data, within‑image causal isolation to accurately assess demographic bias.

arXiv:2607. 16287v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) have enabled photorealistic novel-view synthesis of 3D scenes and, in the facial domain, have been extended to reconstruct and animate 3D face models from a small number of images.
