For our inaugural print issue of Dazed Beauty we tapped Kylie Jenner, a powerful symbol of our contemporary beauty culture, as one of our cover stars and paired her with the future of beauty technology. Beauty_GAN is an AI system that creates beauty imagery without the help of a human. First, it analyses 17,000 images from Instagram to learn what we, as a society, consider beautiful. Then it generates imagery it thinks looks like a beauty portrait, in this case creating bespoke hair and make-up looks for Kylie. 

We went behind the scenes to discover more about Beauty_GAN and the process behind these images.
