Soft biometrics methods that involve gender, age and ethnicity are still developed. Face recognition methods often rely on gender recognition. The same applies to the methods reconstructing the faces or building 2D or 3D models of the faces. In the paper, we conduct study on different set of gender recognition methods and their mobile applications. We show the advantages and disadvantages of that methods and future challenges to the researches. In the previous papers, we examined a range variety of skin detection methods that help to spot the face in the images or video stream. On acquiring faces, we focus on gender recognition that will allow us to create pattern to build 2D and 3D automatic faces models from the images. That will result also in face recognition and authentication, also.
