摘要

Nowadays, regardless of sex or age, significant attention is paid to personal appearance, resulting in the ever-increasing spending in the beauty and fashion markets. Especially, great-looking skin is a foremost desire; however, there are various components, forms, and functionalities, and these are diversifying further. The recommended product depends on the user's skin condition, weather exposure, age, and sensitivity. Therefore, this paper proposes an expert system that recommends the most suitable fundamental cosmetics for the user, which is the very first touch point between the cosmetics seller and the user. Accordingly, the advantages of the rule-based expert system and the logic-based language PROLOG are exploited. The system first receives inputs from the user, and then the inference engine makes a suggestion for its recommendation of the fundamental cosmetics that result in the user's satisfaction.
