Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] However, in the makeup procedure sheet described in Patent Document 1, only the makeup method is displayed as text. Therefore, even by looking at the same makeup procedure sheet, it is not clear which part of the face the cosmetics should be applied to specifically.
[0005] In view of such a situation, the present invention intends to provide a makeup method display tool for visually recognizing a makeup method and a teaching method of a makeup method using the makeup method display tool.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0006] The present invention relates to a cosmetic method indicator that represents a cosmetic method having a plurality of application steps for applying cosmetic materials to a person's face, and comprises a plurality of sheet-like or plate-like indicator bodies, each of which corresponds to one application step, and each indicator body has a face display on which a person's face is displayed, and a cosmetic application area display displayed within the face display as the area on which the cosmetic material is applied in the corresponding application step.
[0007] In the cosmetic method indicator of the present invention, the indicator body is formed by forming the face indicator and the cosmetic application area indicator on a base made of a transparent or translucent sheet-like or plate-like material, and when multiple indicator bodies are stacked so that the reference positions set for each of the multiple indicator bodies coincide, the face indicators of each of the multiple indicator bodies coincide, and the non-overlapping areas where the cosmetic application area indicators of each of the multiple indicator bodies do not overlap are configured to be visible from the outside.
[0008] The present invention provides a cosmetic method indicator characterized in that at least a portion of the boundary of the overlapping region where the cosmetic application area indicators of each of the multiple indicator bodies overlap is made visible.
[0009] The present invention relates to a method for teaching a makeup method, which is a method for teaching a makeup method using a makeup method indicator as described in any of the above, wherein the plurality of application steps in the makeup method include at least a first application step and a second application step following the first application step, and is characterized by comprising: a first step of teaching the first application step by presenting the indicator having a makeup application area indicator corresponding to the first application step to a person being taught the makeup method; and a second step of teaching the second application step by presenting the indicator having a makeup application area indicator corresponding to the second application step to the person being taught after the first step.
[0010] The present invention relates to a method for teaching a makeup method, which uses the makeup method indicator described above, wherein the plurality of application steps in the makeup method include at least a first application step and a second application step following the first application step, and comprises a first step of teaching the first application step while presenting the indicator (hereinafter referred to as the first indicator) having the makeup application area indicator corresponding to the first application step to a person being taught the makeup method, and a second step of teaching the second application step after the first step by presenting the indicator (hereinafter referred to as the second indicator) having the makeup application area indicator corresponding to the second application step superimposed on the first indicator, characterized in that the second step involves presenting the second indicator superimposed on the first indicator. [Effects of the Invention]
[0011] The present invention provides a cosmetic method display device and a method for teaching cosmetic methods, which have the excellent effect of allowing people to visually recognize cosmetic methods. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0013] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are examples of embodiments of the invention, and parts with the same reference numerals in the drawings represent the same object. Furthermore, the shapes and dimensional ratios of the parts in each drawing are not necessarily accurate.
[0014] <Method for teaching makeup techniques, and display device for makeup techniques> The method for teaching a makeup technique in an embodiment of the present invention involves presenting a makeup technique display device 1 to a person being taught a makeup technique and then teaching them the makeup technique. The makeup technique display device 1 plays a role in assisting the person being taught to understand the makeup technique.
[0015] The cosmetic method in the embodiment of the present invention comprises a plurality of application steps for applying cosmetic materials to a person's face. In each application step, a region of the face to which the cosmetic material is applied (hereinafter referred to as the cosmetic application region) is predetermined. In a single application step, it is preferable to use a single type of cosmetic material, but the invention is not limited to this, and multiple types of cosmetic materials may be used.
[0016] Incidentally, in this embodiment, the cosmetic application area corresponding to each application step is determined considering the bone structure of a person's face and human optical illusions. A person's face can be classified into four types, for example, according to its bone structure. Specifically, the first type has clearly defined facial features and deep contours. The second type has a vertically elongated face with deep contours. The third type has a horizontally elongated face with the eyes and eyebrows positioned towards the edges of the face. The fourth type has a round face with the eyes and eyebrows positioned towards the center of the face. By changing the cosmetic application area for each application step according to the face type, it is possible to provide a cosmetic method appropriate for each face type.
[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the makeup method display tool 1 in this embodiment has a plurality of display bodies 2. One display body 2 corresponds to one coating process, and a makeup coating area corresponding to one coating process is displayed. That is, the content of one coating process is represented on one display body 2.
[0018] For example, for the sake of convenience of explanation, each of the four display bodies 2 shown in FIG. 1 is named the first display body 2A, the second display body 2B, the third display body 2C, and the fourth display body 2D, and each of the four coating processes is named the first coating process, the second coating process, the third coating process, and the fourth coating process in the order of the method. A makeup coating area corresponding to the first coating process is displayed on the first display body 2A, a makeup coating area corresponding to the second coating process is displayed on the second display body 2B, a makeup coating area corresponding to the third coating process is displayed on the third display body 2C, and a makeup coating area corresponding to the fourth coating process is displayed on the fourth display body 2D.
[0019] When the instructor teaches the first coating process to the fourth coating process to the teaching object in the order of the processes, the instructor presents the first display body 2A to the fourth display body 2D to the teaching object. Specifically, in the explanation of the first coating process, the instructor presents the first display body 2A to the teaching object and teaches the first coating process to the teaching object (the first step). In the subsequent explanation of the second coating process, the instructor presents the second display body 2B to the teaching object and teaches the second coating process to the teaching object (the second step). In the subsequent explanation of the third coating process, the instructor presents the third display body 2C to the teaching object and teaches the third coating process to the teaching object (the third step). In the subsequent explanation of the fourth coating process, the instructor presents the fourth display body 2D to the teaching object and teaches the fourth coating process to the teaching object (the fourth step). The teaching object understands the makeup method by receiving the explanation from the instructor with reference to the makeup coating area displayed on each display body 2.
[0020] And, for example, in the third coating step, in order to visually make the trainee recognize the difference between the makeup application area in the second coating step and the makeup application area in the third coating step, the instructor may present to the trainee a stack of two sheets with the third display body 2C superimposed on the second display body 2B. Similarly, in the fourth coating step, in order to visually make the trainee recognize the difference between the makeup application area in the fourth coating step and the makeup application area in the third coating step, the instructor may present to the trainee a stack of two sheets with the fourth display body 2D superimposed on the third display body 2C. Also, in the fourth coating step, in order to visually make the trainee recognize the differences between the makeup application area in the fourth coating step, the makeup application area in the second coating step, and the makeup application area in the third coating step, the instructor may present to the trainee a stack of three sheets with the fourth display body 2D superimposed on the stack of the second display body 2B and the third display body 2C from above the third display body 2C. For this reason, when the first display body 2A to the fourth display body 2D are superimposed, they are configured in a manner that allows the differences in their respective makeup application areas to be visually recognized.
[0021] In addition, the number of coating steps for the makeup material in the makeup method of the present invention may be plural, and the number is not particularly limited. And the number of display bodies 2 is the same as the number of coating steps. Even in this case, in the pre - coating step and the post - coating step with consecutive order, similar to the above, the display body 2 corresponding to the post - coating step may be superimposed on the display body 2 corresponding to the pre - coating step and presented to the trainee. No matter how many coating steps there are, the number of display bodies 2 to be superimposed only needs to be plural, and it varies depending on which differences in the makeup application areas between coating steps the instructor desires to present to the trainee, and is not particularly limited.
[0022] <Display body> Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the display body 2 will be described below. The display body 2 is configured as a sheet - like sheet body or a plate - like plate body. And as shown in FIG. 2, the display body 2 has a sheet - like or plate - like base body 20, a face display 21, and a makeup application area display 22.
[0023] <Base body> The base body 20 is preferably made of a transparent or translucent material so that the decorative coating area on the back side can be seen when the display bodies 2 are stacked on top of each other. Furthermore, the base body 20 is preferably formed in a rectangular shape, as shown in Figure 2, but is not limited to this, and may be in other shapes such as square or circular. Furthermore, it is preferable that each base body 20 of the multiple display bodies 2 be the same size and shape. In addition, it is preferable that the base body 20 has rigidity so that it does not bend under its own weight so that the decorative coating area of the display body 2 can be easily seen by the person being taught when the display body 2 is presented to them.
[0024] <Face display> The face display 21 is a display of a human face shown on at least one plane of the base body 20. In Figure 2, for example, an illustration of a woman's face is displayed as the face display 21, but it may also be an illustration of a man's face. Also, the face display 21 may be a photograph instead of an illustration. The area surrounded by the outer edge 21A of the face display 21 is preferably uncolored and transparent or semi-transparent, as shown in Figure 2. However, since cosmetic material is not applied to the eyes, the eyes may be colored. The face display 21 may be provided, for example, by printing on one plane of the display body 2, or by processing using a laser. On the other hand, the area outside the outer edge 21A of the face display 21 may or may not be colored.
[0025] A reference position is set in advance for each display body 2 (base 20). When multiple display bodies 2 (base 20) are stacked so that their respective reference positions coincide and their planes overlap, the face displays 21 of each display body 2 (base 20) will overlap in a coordinated manner. The reference position is preferably set on the outer edge 20A of the display body 2 (base 20), but is not limited to this, and a display corresponding to the reference position may be provided on the display body 2. Note that the outer edge 20A of the display body 2 (base 20) may be the entire outer edge 20A or only a part of it. In this embodiment, each display body 2 (base 20) is a rectangle of the same size. Therefore, if the display body 2 (base body 20) is superimposed so that the reference position on the display body 2 (base body 20) aligns with one pair of horizontal and vertical edges of the outer edge 20A, the face displays 21 of each display body 2 will overlap in a matching manner.
[0026] <Display of makeup application area> The cosmetic application area indicator 22 is displayed within the face indicator 21 on at least one side of the base body 20 as the cosmetic application area set in the corresponding application process. Preferably, the cosmetic application area indicator 22 is composed of a colored area on the surface of the indicator body 2 in which the entire cosmetic application area is colored, but it is not limited to this. For example, the cosmetic application area indicator 22 may be shown with the outer edge of the cosmetic application area indicated by a line, or a pattern such as diagonal lines may be added within the area surrounded by that line (outer edge).
[0027] Furthermore, the colored area as the cosmetic application area display 22 on a single display unit 2 may consist of a single color or multiple colors. Also, the colored areas of each display unit 2 may consist of a common single color or different single colors. Also, the colored areas of each display unit 2 may consist of common multiple colors or different multiple colors. In the case of multiple colors, the color scheme may be common or different. Furthermore, as long as the color or color scheme of the colored areas of at least the corresponding display units 2 in consecutive application processes are different, the two colored areas can be visually distinguished, so such an configuration is also acceptable.
[0028] Here, as shown in Figure 3(C), the fourth display unit 2D is superimposed on the third display unit 2C from above so that the reference positions of the third display unit 2C and the fourth display unit 2D coincide. In this case, in the stacking direction of the third display unit 2C and the fourth display unit 2D, an overlapping region 24A is formed where the cosmetic application area display 22D (see Figure 3(A)) of the fourth display unit 2D adjacent to one side (the leading side in the stacking direction) and the cosmetic application area display 22C (see Figure 3(B)) of the third display unit 2C adjacent to the other side (the trailing side in the stacking direction) and the cosmetic application area display 22C of the third display unit 2C overlap in a small area at the outer corners of both eyes. Otherwise, it is a non-overlapping region 24B where the cosmetic application area display 22D and the cosmetic application area display 22C do not overlap. In such cases, regardless of the display mode of the cosmetic application area indicator 22, it is possible to roughly distinguish between the cosmetic application area indicator 22D of the fourth display body 2D and the cosmetic application area indicator 22C of the third display body 2C, so the display mode of the cosmetic application area indicator 22 is not limited to any particular form.
[0029] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4(C), the third display unit 2C is superimposed on the second display unit 2B from above so that the reference positions of the second display unit 2B and the third display unit 2C coincide. In this case, in the stacking direction of the second display unit 2B and the third display unit 2C, the cosmetic application area display 22C of the third display unit 2C (see Figure 4(A)) on one side (the leading side in the stacking direction) and the cosmetic application area display 22B of the second display unit 2B (see Figure 4(B)) on the other side (the trailing side in the stacking direction) form overlapping areas 24A of the cosmetic application area display 22C and cosmetic application area display 22B on both temples, both sides of the nose, and the forehead, while the rest are non-overlapping areas 24B where the cosmetic application area display 22C and cosmetic application area display 22B do not overlap. Now, let's focus on the overlapping area 24A in the temple area.
[0030] As shown in Figure 5(A), when the cosmetic application area display 22C of the third display unit 2C and the cosmetic application area display 22B of the second display unit 2B are the same color, the cosmetic application area display 22C and the cosmetic application area display 22B appear to merge when the cosmetic application area display 22B is visible through the background of the cosmetic application area display 22C, making it difficult to distinguish between the overlapping area 24A and the non-overlapping area 24B in the temple area. However, although a strict distinction between the overlapping area 24A and the non-overlapping area 24B is difficult, it is possible to recognize that the cosmetic application area display 22C and the cosmetic application area display 22B overlap in the temple area. Therefore, even if the cosmetic application area display 22C and the cosmetic application area display 22B are the same color, the students being taught can roughly distinguish between the cosmetic application area display 22C and the cosmetic application area display 22B in the temple area.
[0031] As shown in Figure 5(B), if the color of at least the outer edge (boundary) of the cosmetic application area display 22C is different from the color of the colored area of the cosmetic application area display 22B, even if the colored areas of the cosmetic application area display 22C and the cosmetic application area display 22B are the same color, the outer edge (boundary) of the cosmetic application area display 22C can be easily recognized by sight, distinguishing it from the cosmetic application area display 22B which is visible through the background. As a result, the overlapping area 24A and the non-overlapping area 24B can be easily distinguished in the temple area.
[0032] As shown in Figure 5(C), by using different colors for the colored areas of the cosmetic application area indicator 22C and the cosmetic application area indicator 22B, the outer edge (boundary) of the cosmetic application area indicator 22C can be easily visually recognized, distinguishing it from the cosmetic application area indicator 22B which is visible through the background. As a result, the overlapping area 24A and the non-overlapping area 24B can be easily distinguished in the temple area.
[0033] As shown in Figure 5(D), the outer edges (boundaries) of the cosmetic application area indicator 22C and the cosmetic application area indicator 22B are indicated by lines, and the areas enclosed by the lines are made transparent or semi-transparent without coloring, so that the outer edges (boundaries) of the cosmetic application area indicator 22C and the outer edges (boundaries) of the cosmetic application area indicator 22B can be easily recognized by sight, distinguishing them from the cosmetic application area indicator 22B which is visible through the background. As a result, the overlapping area 24A and the non-overlapping area 24B can be easily distinguished in the temple area.
[0034] As shown in Figure 5(E), if the outer edges (boundaries) of the cosmetic application area indicator 22C and the cosmetic application area indicator 22B are displayed with different types of lines (solid and dotted lines in Figure 5(E)), and the areas enclosed by the lines are made uncolored and transparent or semi-transparent, then, compared to the case in Figure 5(D), the outer edges (boundaries) of the cosmetic application area indicator 22C and the outer edges (boundaries) of the cosmetic application area indicator 22B can be easily recognized by sight, distinguishing them from the cosmetic application area indicator 22B which is visible through the background. As a result, it becomes easier to visually distinguish between the overlapping area 24A and the non-overlapping area 24B in the temple area.
[0035] As shown in Figure 5(F), even if the colored areas of the cosmetic application area indicator 22B and the cosmetic application area indicator 22C are different colors, or as shown in Figure 5(G), even if the colored areas of the cosmetic application area indicator 22B and the cosmetic application area indicator 22C are the same color, if the cosmetic application area indicator 22B is configured to be visible through the cosmetic application area indicator 22C, the outer edge (boundary) of the cosmetic application area indicator 22C and the outer edge (boundary) of the cosmetic application area indicator 22B can be easily recognized by sight, distinguishing them from the cosmetic application area indicator 22B that is visible behind it. As a result, it becomes easier to visually distinguish between the overlapping area 24A and the non-overlapping area 24B in the temple area. In this case, at least the cosmetic application area indicator 22C located on the leading side when superimposed is formed of a paint that has the characteristic (light transmittance) of allowing the cosmetic application area indicator 22B that overlaps it to be visible. Of course, the cosmetic application area indicator 22B may also be formed of the same paint.
[0036] With the configuration described above, when multiple display units 2 are superimposed so that the reference positions of each display unit 2 coincide, both overlapping cosmetic application area displays 22 become visible. In particular, in the cases of Figures 5(D) to 5(G), the boundary 24D between the superimposed area 24A and the non-superimposed area 24B in the upper area 24C of the temple region is also easily visible. As a result, in the cases of Figures 5(D) to 5(G), the entire outer edge (entire boundary) of the superimposed area 24A and the entire outer edge (entire boundary) of the non-superimposed area 24B are visible. Consequently, the person being taught can easily recognize the difference in the application area of the cosmetic material in the pre-application process and the post-application process.
[0037] The makeup method indicator 1 may be used not only by makeup instructors, but also by individuals performing makeup independently to recognize the differences in the application areas of cosmetic materials in the pre-application and post-application processes, or it may be used for display purposes in cosmetic sales areas, etc. In other words, the use of the makeup method indicator 1 is not limited to teaching makeup methods, but may also be used for other purposes and applications.
[0038] Furthermore, the cosmetic method display device and the method for teaching the cosmetic method of the present invention are not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
