Benefits of technology

[0007]An object of the present invention is to provide an electrically-operated makeup tool to enable, through electric operation, a motion different from makeup work performed by hand, an excellent finish of makeup relative to when performed by hand that has not been conventionally achievable, and a comfortable feeling upon contact with the skin, in addition to enabling application of powdered cosmetic material in a short period of time without dirtying the hand.
[0008]As a result a study conducted in order to achieve the above object, the inventors of the present invention have found that powdered cosmetic material can be applied uniformly in a short period of time without dirtying the hand with an excellent feeling upon contact with the skin and that an excellent cosmetic effect is obtained by causing an applicator formed of bundled bristles to be reciprocally vibrated in a direction in which the bristles are oriented with an electric drive unit such that the applicator dabs the cosmetic material onto the skin with the tip of the bristles.
[0009]That is, the present invention is an electric makeup brush that causes an applicator formed of bundled bristles to reciprocally vibrate in a direction in which the bristles are oriented with an electric drive unit such that the applicator dabs cosmetic material onto a skin with the tip of the bristles.
[0021]With the electric makeup brush of the present invention, powdered cosmetic material such as foundation can be dabbed onto the skin with the tip of the bristles, and it is possible to obtain a makeup effect of a uniform and beautiful finish with excellent durability.
[0022]Feeling upon contact with the skin is excellent, and it is possible to apply powdered cosmetic material uniformly over the entire face in a short period of time without dirtying the hand.

Problems solved by technology

However, the basic motions of the makeup brushes do not differ greatly from the motion conventionally performed by hand.
Therefore, a significant effect in contrast to a case of application by hand has not been necessarily expectable in the finish of makeup.

example

[0048]The results of a test conducted in order to confirm the effect of the electric makeup brush of the present invention will be described below in detail.

[0049]The results of comparison of the electric makeup brush of the present invention with a conventional makeup method (method of applying foundation with a normal technique using a normal makeup brush) are shown in Table 1. The evaluations are all an average of questionnaire evaluations conducted upon application of foundation by three panelists and are indicated as Excellent, Good, Normal, or Bad.

[0050]For the shape of the tip of the applicator, three types of “inclined flat surface” (FIG. 7 (a)) that is a flat surface inclined with respect to the direction in which the bristles are oriented, “perpendicular flat surface” (FIG. 7(b)) that is a flat surface perpendicular to the direction in which the bristles are oriented, and “curved surface” (FIG. 7(c)) for which the tips of the bristles are cut and aligned in a mound shape w...

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide an electrically-operated makeup tool to enable, through electric operation, a motion different from makeup work performed by hand, an excellent finish of makeup relative to when performed by hand, and a comfortable feeling upon contact with the skin that has not been conventionally achievable, in addition to enabling application of powdered cosmetic material in a short period of time without dirtying the hand. Provided is a makeup brush that causes an applicator formed of bundled bristles to reciprocally vibrate in a direction in which the bristles are oriented with an electric drive unit such that the applicator dabs cosmetic material onto the skin with the tip of the bristles, wherein the amplitude of the reciprocal vibration is 2 to 10 mm, the vibration frequency of the reciprocal vibration is 3 to 50 Hz, and the length of the bristles is 15 to 30 mm.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to an electric makeup brush that causes an applicator formed of bundled bristles to be reciprocally vibrated in a direction in which the bristles are oriented with an electric drive unit such that the applicator dabs cosmetic material onto the skin with the tip of the bristles.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Since powdered cosmetic materials such as foundation are applied to a relatively large area of skin, it is of importance to develop a makeup application tool that enables uniform application in a short period of time and an even and beautiful finish. Therefore, in recent years, electrically-operated makeup brushes as a makeup application tool for applying powdered cosmetic material such as foundation have been developed (Patent Documents 1 and 2).[0003]These electrically-operated makeup brushes have an effect of enabling application without dirtying the hand in a shorter period of time than application by hand in a conventional manner and a...
