Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic attachment used when drawing eyelines, eyebrows, body hair, etc., when applying false eyelashes or the like to eyes, and / or when applying other makeup. [Background Art]
[0002] When people engage in makeup behavior, they often apply various types of makeup to the eyes or their surrounding areas. For example, in order to make eyelashes darker, thicker, longer, or to emphasize the contour of the eyes, liquid, cake-shaped or cream compositions composed of pigments, oils, waxes, and preservatives, so-called "mascara", are widely used. There are also "false eyelashes" that are adhered to eyelashes or eyelids using an adhesive in the form of individual eyelashes, eyelash extensions, or even a full set of eyelashes. Furthermore, eyeliners and eyeshadows are representative cosmetics applied to the eyelids. In addition, double-eyelid tapes and double-eyelid glues are known as cosmetic tools for applying a membrane or film harder than the skin so that the skin folds when the eye is opened.
[0003] However, the operation of applying these various types of eye makeup products to one's own eyes is inevitably often troublesome. For example, when using a brush-type cosmetic product, it is necessary to draw around the eyes in a direction different from the normal writing direction, which makes drawing difficult. In addition, when applying makeup while looking in a mirror, the pen shaft may block the field of view, making the makeup area difficult to see or completely hidden, which may hinder the makeup operation. Furthermore, since there is no fulcrum when applying makeup, the hand is prone to shaking, making fine operations difficult.
[0004] Furthermore, cosmetics that are applied to the eye area, such as false eyelashes, can be applied relatively easily when the eyes are closed. However, for accurate positioning, it is preferable to apply them with the eyes open, and this is often difficult with conventional flat mirrors. Most makeup mirrors are either "tabletop mirrors" placed on tables or sinks, or "handheld mirrors." With tabletop mirrors, however, it is necessary to move one's face or body to maintain the relationship with the mirror, making it difficult to apply makeup while looking at the desired area. Also, for nearsighted users, the distance to the mirror may be too far to see. If the user moves their face closer to the mirror, then the makeup tools may hit the mirror, potentially impairing the work process.
[0005] On the other hand, with a hand mirror, one hand holding the mirror is always occupied, making it difficult to perform auxiliary actions such as holding down the eyelid or stabilizing makeup tools. Also, when applying makeup to the eyelids and surrounding areas, the area being made up tends to move due to blinking, and although holding it down and stabilizing it improves ease of application, this is often not possible because one hand is occupied with the mirror. Furthermore, there is the problem that while it may be relatively easy to apply makeup to the eye on the dominant hand side, it is difficult to apply makeup to the other eye. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]
[0006] Patent Document 1: Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2019-155065 Patent Document 2: Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2019-150573 Patent Document 3: Utility Model Registration No. 317837 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0007] The mirror described in Patent Document 1 has three mirrors, allowing the user to focus on the side mirrors without having to move their head significantly, thereby enabling them to easily apply eye makeup. However, when using the central mirror, makeup tools may partially obstruct the mirror image, making it difficult to apply. Furthermore, with a freestanding mirror, precise positioning is difficult, and with a handheld mirror, one hand is occupied holding the mirror, so the long-standing difficulties in applying eye makeup remain unresolved.
[0008] Patent Document 2 discloses a writing instrument for makeup that allows the makeup area to be moved to a desired location so that it is not obscured by the writing instrument's handle, and furthermore, allows for stable and precise makeup application, as well as the ability to apply makeup freely in the form of dots, lines, and surfaces. Because the writing instrument's handle can be moved away from the desired location, it is useful in that precise makeup can be applied without obscuring the makeup area from view. However, a problem remains: there is no pivot point to stabilize the hand during makeup application, and hand tremors are likely to occur when drawing fine details.
[0009] Patent Document 3 discloses a mirror that can be attached to a bracelet, allowing the user to freely use their fingers while applying makeup. This mirror is attached to the wrist using a band-shaped arm or a ring-shaped or other band-shaped device, allowing the user to freely use their fingers. This makes it possible to apply eye makeup without occupying the fingers of one hand. However, due to the structure of attaching the mirror to the arm, the position of the mirror depends on the position of the arm, making it difficult to freely position the mirror near the face or eyes. Therefore, there remains a challenge in achieving more flexible usage.
[0010] Therefore, there is a need for a makeup attachment that allows for easy application of makeup, does not worsen work efficiency, eliminates the need to hold a mirror by hand, allows for reliable viewing of one's entire or partial face, and enables stable and delicate application of makeup. [Means for solving the problem]
[0011] The cosmetic attachment according to the present invention comprises a mirror fixed at any position in front of the face for the user to check all or part of their face, a cosmetic tool control mechanism that controls the movement of cosmetic tools for applying makeup, an eyelid presser for contacting the eyelid and maintaining a state of pressing the eyelid, and a fixing device for attaching to the face to hold them. The fixing device has a nose pad, temples, and a connecting frame. The connecting frame has a mirror mounting part, a cosmetic tool control mechanism mounting part, and an eyelid presser mounting part. The mirror has a mirror fixing pivot point, a reflector, a mirror movement control pivot point, and an arm, the cosmetic tool control mechanism has a cosmetic mechanism coupling control pivot point, a cosmetic tool, a handle, and a movement control rod, and the eyelid presser has an eyelid contactor and an eyelid presser coupling control pivot point.
[0012] On the other hand, the fixing device may be a cloth-like member having a mirror mounting portion, a cosmetic device control mechanism mounting portion, and an eyelid presser mounting portion.
[0013] With the mirror of the cosmetic attachment according to the present invention, the user does not need to hold the mirror with their hand and can reliably check all or part of their face. Furthermore, with the cosmetic tool control mechanism of the cosmetic attachment according to the present invention, makeup can be applied stably and delicately. Moreover, with the eyelid presser of the cosmetic attachment according to the present invention, the user can apply makeup to their eyelids and the surrounding area without having to hold their eyelids with their hand. [Effects of the Invention]
[0014] With the cosmetic attachment according to the present invention, the user can reliably check all or part of their face without holding the mirror in their hand, and apply makeup stably and delicately. This makes it possible, for example, to apply makeup while assisting the makeup area with a free hand, to apply makeup while watching a makeup-related video with a free hand, and to apply makeup while holding the mirror more stably.

[Figure 21] Figure 21 is a front view of the cosmetic attachment 1 according to the fifth embodiment. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0016] First, a cosmetic attachment 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 10.
[0017] Figure 1 is a front view of a cosmetic attachment 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a top view, and Figure 3 is a right side view. In Figure 1, the vertical direction is the Y-axis direction (vertical direction of the paper), the plane perpendicular to the Y-axis direction and including the face is the X-axis direction (left and right relative to the paper), and the directions perpendicular to the X and Y axes are the Z-axis directions (front and back relative to the paper). The directions of the X, Y, and Z axes are the same as described below.
[0018] A cosmetic attachment 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention comprises a fixing device 2 for attaching the cosmetic attachment 1 to the user's face 6 and fixing its position, and a mirror 3 for checking part or all of the face 6 when applying makeup. The fixing device 2 is detachably attached to the mirror 3.
[0019] The fixing device 2 includes a connecting frame 21 with two downward-convex arcs connected so as not to obstruct the user's field of vision when attaching and fixing the cosmetic attachment 1 to the user's face 6, a nose rest 23 that abuts against the nose 7 to fix the mounting position of the cosmetic attachment 1, and a pair of temples 24 that hang over the ears 8 to fix the mounting position of the cosmetic attachment 1. The connecting frame 21 has a mirror mounting portion 22a for attaching the mirror 3. One end of each temple 24 is attached to each end of the connecting frame 21, and the nose rest 23 is attached to the central part of the connecting frame 21. The connecting frame 21 does not need to obstruct the user's field of vision and is not limited to a shape with two downward-convex arcs connected; for example, it may have a shape with two upward-convex arcs connected. Furthermore, the connecting frame 21 only needs to have sufficient strength to securely attach and fix the position of the cosmetic attachment 1 to the user's face 6, and may be made of, for example, resin, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, carbon fiber, or a composite thereof.
[0020] As shown in Figure 4(a), the mirror mounting portion 22a is located in the center of the connecting frame 21. However, the mirror mounting portion 22a is not limited to the center of the connecting frame 21; for example, as shown in Figure 4(b), it may be located at any end of the connecting frame 21 or at any position along the arc of the connecting frame 21.
[0021] The nose rests 23 are a pair of protrusions arranged symmetrically in a V-shape. The nose rests 23 only need to have enough frictional force to contact the nose 7 and fix the mounting position of the cosmetic attachment 1, and may be made of, for example, resin, rubber, or silicone. In addition, the nose rests 23 may be made of, for example, a makeup sponge, so as not to peel off the makeup applied to the user's nose 7 when the nose rests 23 come into contact with the user's nose 7 when attached to the cosmetic attachment 1.
[0022] The temples 24 are a pair of columnar bodies, one end of which is connected to each end of the connecting frame 21, and which extend from the connection point with the connecting frame 21 to the user's ears 8. The tip (other end) of the temples 24 is curved downward (downward relative to the plane of the paper) so that it can be placed on the ears 8, and the mounting position of the cosmetic attachment 1 can be fixed.
[0023] The temples 24 are preferably rotatable in the Y-axis direction. For example, from the state in which the temples 24 are worn by the user as shown in Figure 5(a), they may be rotatable so that they fold over the connecting frame 21 for easy storage, as shown in Figure 5(b). The temples 24 only need to have sufficient strength to be hooked onto the ears 8 and securely attached to the user's face 6 of the cosmetic attachment 1, and can be made of, for example, resin, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, carbon fiber, or a composite thereof.
[0024] The mirror 3 includes a reflector 31 for the user to check the reflected image when attaching the cosmetic attachment 1 to the user's face 6 and checking all or part of their face 6, a mirror fixing pivot point 32 that is detachably connected to the mirror mounting portion 22a of the connecting frame 21, an arm 33 with one end rotatably fixed to the mirror fixing pivot point 32, and a mirror motion control pivot point 34 that is rotatably fixed to the other end of the arm 33.
[0025] Mirror 3 does not necessarily have to be just one; for example, there may be two or more, depending on the user's work efficiency.
[0026] The reflector 31 is a plate-like body capable of forming a reflected image, with at least one surface being a mirror surface. The shape of the reflector 31 does not need to be such that the user can see all or part of their face 6 and that it does not hinder the user's ability to apply makeup; for example, it may be circular or square. The size of the reflector 31 does not need to be such that the user can see all or part of their face 6 and that it does not hinder the user's ability to apply makeup; for example, the mirror surface area of the reflector 31 may be 9 cm². 2 ~100cm 2Preferably, and more preferably, 25 cm 2 ~64cm 2 That would be fine.
[0027] The reflector 31 only needs to have sufficient strength so that it does not deform or bend when the user operates it by hand, and may be made of, for example, resin, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, carbon fiber, or a composite thereof. However, at least one surface of the reflector 31 must have a mirror surface obtained by coating or film formation, or by polishing. The reflector 31 may also be a magnifying glass that can enlarge the reflected image. The reflector 31 is not limited to a flat plate-like body as shown in Figure 6(a), but may be bent so that the reflecting surface of the reflector 31 has three surfaces, for example, as shown in Figure 6(b).
[0028] Figure 7 is a right side view (a) and a front view (b) showing the state in which the arm 33 is connected to the mirror mounting portion 22a of the fixing device 2 of the cosmetic attachment 1 according to the first embodiment via the mirror fixing device coupling pivot point 32. Note that in Figure 7, the nose rest 23, temple 24, reflector 31, and mirror movement control pivot point 34 are not shown. The mirror fixing device coupling pivot point 32 is a straight columnar body having a notch that can be fitted into the mirror mounting portion 22a in order to connect to the mirror mounting portion 22a, and a hole into which the arm 33 can be fitted in order to rotatably fix one end of the arm 33. The mirror fixing device coupling pivot point 32 is connected by fitting into the mirror mounting portion 22a and is rotatably connected by fitting into one end of the arm 33. The mirror fixing pivot point 32 only needs to be detachably connected to the mirror mounting part 22a. For example, the connection method may be a spring-loaded clip or a screw-tightening method. The mirror fixing pivot point 32 is designed to allow the user to check the desired position in the mirror 3, as shown in Figures 8(a), (b), and (c), to change the position of the reflector 31 by allowing the arm 33 to rotate in two directions perpendicular to the extension direction of the arm 33, and with the extension direction of the arm 33 as the axis of rotation. In Figure 8, the nose pad 23, temple 24, reflector 31, and mirror movement control pivot point 34 are not shown. The annular arrow in Figure 8 indicates the direction of rotation of the arm 33. The mirror fixing pivot point 32 only needs to be able to rotate the arm 33. For example, as shown in Figures 8(d), (e), and (f), it may be able to rotate only in one direction perpendicular to the extension direction, or it may be able to rotate only in two directions perpendicular to the extension direction. Furthermore, the mirror fixing pivot point 32 only needs to have sufficient strength to fix the position of each component of the mirror 3. For example, it may be made of resin, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, carbon fiber, or a composite thereof.
[0029] The arm 33 is a straight columnar body, rotatably connected at one end to the mirror fixing pivot point 32 and at the other end to the mirror motion control pivot point 34. The arm 33 has a length sufficient to fix the reflector 31 and the face 6 at an appropriate distance and position. For example, the distance between the face 6 and the reflector 31 should be 4 cm to 15 cm, more preferably 6 cm to 11 cm. The length of the arm 33 should be 5 cm to 17 cm, preferably 7 cm to 12 cm, so that the distance between the face 6 and the reflector 31 can be maintained at 4 cm to 15 cm. If the distance between the reflector 31 and the face 6 is less than 4 cm, the reflector 31 will be too close to the face 6, making it difficult to apply makeup. On the other hand, if the distance between the reflector 31 and the face 6 exceeds 15 cm, the image reflected on the reflector 31 will be too small, making it difficult to apply makeup. A distance of 6 cm to 11 cm between the face 6 and the reflector 31 provides good workability and is therefore more preferable. Furthermore, the arm 33 only needs to be able to maintain an appropriate distance between the reflector 31 and the face 6 and not hinder workability, and is not limited to a straight column shape; for example, it may be curved downwards. The arm 33 only needs to have sufficient strength to fix the position of each component of the mirror 3, and may be made of, for example, resin, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, carbon fiber, or a composite thereof.
[0030] The arm 33 may consist of two straight columnar bodies (a first arm 33a and a second arm 33b) and a joint 35 that rotatably connects each arm 33, as shown in Figure 9. In Figure 9, the nose rest 23 and temple 24 are not shown. The first arm 33a is rotatably connected at one end to the mirror fixing pivot 32 and at the other end to the joint 35. The second arm 33b is rotatably connected at one end to the joint 35 and at the other end to the mirror motion control pivot 34. The combined length of the first arm 33a and the second arm 33b is preferably long enough to fix the reflector 31 and the face 6 at an appropriate distance and position, and should be between 5 cm and 17 cm, preferably between 7 cm and 12 cm, so that the distance between the face 6 and the reflector 31 can be maintained at 4 cm to 15 cm.
[0031] The joint 35 is a straight columnar body having a hole into which the first arm 33a can be fitted in order to rotatably fix the other end of the first arm 33a, and a hole into which the second arm 33b can be fitted in order to rotatably fix one end of the second arm 33b. The joint 35 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first arm 33a by fitting, and to the one end of the second arm 33b by fitting. The joint 35 rotates the first arm 33a in two directions perpendicular to the extension direction of the first arm 33a, and with the extension direction of the first arm 33a as the axis of rotation, and rotates the second arm 33b in two directions perpendicular to the extension direction of the second arm 33b, and with the extension direction of the second arm 33b as the axis of rotation. The joint 35 only needs to be rotatable for the first arm 33a and the second arm 33b, and may, for example, be rotatable only in two directions perpendicular to the extension direction, or in only one direction. Furthermore, the first arm 33a, the second arm 33b, and the joint 35 only need to have sufficient strength to fix the positions of each component of the mirror 3, and may be made of, for example, resin, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, carbon fiber, or a composite thereof.
[0032] The arm 33 may also consist of three straight columnar bodies (a first arm 33a, a second arm 33b, and a third arm 33c), a first joint 35a that rotatably connects the first arm 33a and the second arm 33b, and a second joint 35b that rotatably connects the second arm 33b and the third arm 33c, as shown in Figure 10. In Figure 10, the nose pad 23 and temple 24 are not shown. The structure of the arm 33, consisting of two straight columnar bodies, a first arm 33a, a second arm 33b, and a joint 35 that rotatably connects the first arm 33a and the second arm 33b, as well as the method of connection and materials, are the same.
[0033] The mirror motion control pivot point 34 has a notch into which the reflector 31 can be fitted, and a hole into which the arm 33 can be fitted to rotatably connect the arm 33. The mirror motion control pivot point 34 fits and connects to the reflector 31. Note that the mirror motion control pivot point 34 and the reflector 31 only need to be connected; for example, they may be connected by applying adhesive to one side of the reflector 31 excluding the mirror surface. The mirror motion control pivot point 34 is rotatably fitted to the other end of the arm 33. The mirror motion control pivot point 34 also allows the arm 33 to rotate in two directions perpendicular to the extension direction of the arm 33, and with the extension direction of the arm 33 as the axis of rotation. Note that the mirror motion control pivot point 34 only needs to allow the arm 33 to rotate; for example, it may rotate only in two directions perpendicular to the extension direction, or only in one direction. The mirror movement control pivot point 34 only needs to be connected to the reflector 31, and may be, for example, one of the corners of the reflector 31, a part of its periphery, or the center. Furthermore, the mirror movement control pivot point 34 only needs to have sufficient strength to fix the position of each component of the mirror 3, and may be made of, for example, resin, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, carbon fiber, or a composite thereof.
[0034] Next, a cosmetic attachment 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 11 to 14.
[0035] Figure 11 is a front view of a cosmetic attachment 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 12 is a plan view.
[0036] A cosmetic attachment 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention comprises a fixing device 2 for attaching and fixing the cosmetic attachment 1 to the user's face 6, a mirror 3 used to check part or all of the face 6 when applying makeup, and a cosmetic tool control mechanism 4 for controlling the movement of the cosmetic tool 44. The fixing device 2 is detachably attached to the mirror 3 and the cosmetic tool control mechanism 4.
[0037] The mirror 3 of the cosmetic attachment 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention has the same configuration as in the first embodiment, and therefore its description will be omitted. Below, the fixing device 2 and the cosmetic control mechanism 4, which differ from those of the first embodiment, will be described.
[0038] The fixing device 2 includes a connecting frame 21 with two downwardly convex arcs connected to each other so as not to obstruct the user's field of vision when attaching and fixing the cosmetic attachment 1 to the user's face 6, a nose rest 23 that abuts against the nose 7 to fix the mounting position of the cosmetic attachment 1, and a pair of temples 24 that hang over the ears 8 to fix the mounting position of the cosmetic attachment 1. The connecting frame 21 has a mirror mounting part 22a for attaching a mirror 3 and a cosmetic control mechanism mounting part 22b for attaching a cosmetic control mechanism 4. One end of each temple 24 is attached to each end of the connecting frame 21, and the nose rest 23 is attached to the central part of the connecting frame 21.
[0039] Note that the mirror mounting section 22a, nose pad 23, and temple 24 have the same configuration as in the first embodiment, and their description will be omitted. The following describes the cosmetic control mechanism mounting section 22b, which differs from that of the first embodiment.
[0040] The cosmetic control mechanism mounting portion 22b is located at the end of the connecting frame 21 closer to the user's left eye 9. The mirror mounting portion 22a is not limited to the end of the connecting frame 21 closer to the user's left eye 9, but may be located at any position on the curve of the connecting frame 21, for example, as shown in Figure 13, at the central part of the connecting frame 21, at the end of the connecting frame 21 closer to the right eye 10, or on the curve of the connecting frame 21.
[0041] The cosmetic tool control mechanism 4 includes a cosmetic tool coupling control pivot 41 which is detachably connected to the cosmetic tool control mechanism mounting part 22b when the cosmetic attachment 1 is attached to the user's face 6 and the user applies makeup, an action control rod 42 which is rotatably connected to the cosmetic tool coupling control pivot 41, and a handle 43 which can be connected to one end of the action control rod 42 for the user to hold and operate. A cosmetic tool 44 for the user to apply makeup is detachably attached to the other end of the action control rod 42. The cosmetic tool control mechanism 4 allows the user to move the cosmetic tool 44 to any position when applying makeup.
[0042] The cosmetic mechanism coupling control pivot point 41 consists of a plate-like body having a notch that can clamp the cosmetic tool control mechanism mounting portion 22b, and a hole provided in the plate-like body for connecting the motion control rod 42. The cosmetic mechanism coupling control pivot point 41 is fitted to the cosmetic tool control mechanism mounting portion 22b in a manner that does not hinder the user's ability to apply makeup. The cosmetic mechanism coupling control pivot point 41 only needs to be able to be detachably connected to the cosmetic tool control mechanism mounting portion 22b; for example, the connection method may be a method using a spring like a clip, or a method of tightening with a screw.
[0043] Furthermore, the cosmetic mechanism coupling control pivot point 41 is connected by inserting the motion control rod 42 into a hole provided in the cosmetic mechanism coupling control pivot point 41. The cosmetic mechanism coupling control pivot point 41 allows the motion control rod 42 to rotate in two directions perpendicular to the extension direction of the motion control rod 42, and with the extension direction of the motion control rod 42 as the axis of rotation. The cosmetic mechanism coupling control pivot point 41 only needs to be able to rotate the motion control rod 42, and for example, it may be able to rotate only in two directions perpendicular to the extension direction, or only in one direction. In addition, the cosmetic mechanism coupling control pivot point 41 only needs to have sufficient strength to fix the position of each component of the cosmetic control mechanism 4, and may be made of, for example, resin, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, carbon fiber, or a composite thereof.
[0044] The motion control rod 42 is a rod-shaped body having a hole near one end for connecting a handle 43 and a hole near the other end for connecting a cosmetic tool 44. The connection position between the motion control rod 42 and the cosmetic mechanism coupling control pivot 41 is such that the cosmetic tool 44 can be moved delicately by moving the handle 43, and the rod-shaped body of the motion control rod 42 is divided internally in a 1:2 ratio. However, the connection position between the motion control rod 42 and the cosmetic mechanism coupling control pivot 41 is not limited to a position that divides the rod-shaped body internally in a 1:2 ratio, as long as it is a position where the cosmetic tool 44 can be operated delicately and easily. Furthermore, the shape of the motion control rod 42 is not limited to a rod shape, as shown in Figure 14(a), and may be curved, for example, as shown in Figure 14(b), as long as it allows the cosmetic tool 44 to be operated delicately and easily. In Figure 14, the mirror mounting section 22a, nose pad 23, temple 24, and mirror 3 are not shown. The motion control rod 42 is connected by inserting the handle 43 near one end and by inserting the cosmetic accessory 44 near the other end. The hole provided at the other end of the motion control rod 42 should be adjustable to accommodate the thickness and size of the cosmetic accessory 44, for example, by controlling the size of the hole with a screw or spring and tightening it for secure fastening. Alternatively, instead of having a hole at the other end of the motion control rod 42, the motion control rod 42 may have a clip at its other end to detachably connect the cosmetic accessory 44 to the other end of the motion control rod 42, thereby connecting the motion control rod 42 and the cosmetic accessory 44. The motion control rod 42 only needs to have sufficient strength to allow the user to operate the cosmetic device 44 by moving the handle 43, and may be made of, for example, resin, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, carbon fiber, or a composite thereof.
[0045] The handle 43 is a rod-shaped body that is inserted into a hole provided at one end of the motion control rod 42 to connect them. The handle 43 only needs to be connectable to one end of the motion control rod 42, and may be fixed with adhesive, or detachably connected using magnets. Preferably, the handle 43 has a length and thickness suitable for the user to hold in their hand and operate easily. The handle 43 only needs to have a shape that is easy for the user to hold, and may have a circular or triangular cross-section. The handle 43 only needs to have a shape that is easy for the user to hold, and may be straight, curved, or bent. The handle 43 only needs to have sufficient strength for the user to hold the other end and operate it, and may be made of resin, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, carbon fiber, etc., or a composite thereof. The vicinity of the other end of the handle 43 may be covered with a silicone cover, rubber, etc. to make it easier for the user to hold.
[0046] The cosmetic tool 44 is inserted into a hole provided at the other end of the motion control rod 42 and is detachably connected. The cosmetic tool 44 is a commercially available product for applying makeup to the left eye 9, the right eye 10, and their vicinity, such as eyebrows, eyelids, inner corners of the eyes, outer corners of the eyes, eyelashes, and double eyelid lines, and is an example of an eyeshadow brush, eyeshadow pencil, eyeliner, mascara, eyebrow pencil, or double eyelid tape attachment pusher. The cosmetic tool 44 is not limited to commercially available products; for example, a brush or pen suitable for the present invention may be provided. The cosmetic tool 44 is connected to the motion control rod 42 by the handle 43 of the cosmetic tool 44. The position where the cosmetic tool 44 is connected to the motion control rod 42 may be, for example, the central part of the cosmetic tool 44 or near the tip of the cosmetic tool 44, depending on the length of the cosmetic tool 44 and the area to be applied.
[0047] Furthermore, the method of connecting the motion control rod 42 and the cosmetic tool 44 may be a method of connection via a magnet on the other end of the motion control rod 42 and a magnetic component attached to the cosmetic tool 44 for connecting the cosmetic tool 44 to the motion control rod 42, rather than a hole on the other end of the motion control rod 42. The magnetic component consists of a strip-shaped elastic body and a magnet attached to the strip-shaped elastic body so that it can be attached to the cosmetic tool 44. The magnetic component is attached to the cosmetic tool 44 by wrapping the strip-shaped elastic body around the cosmetic tool 44. The cosmetic tool 44 is connected to the motion control rod 42 by the magnet on the motion control rod 42 via the magnetic component. It is preferable to prepare multiple magnetic components. For example, when applying makeup using multiple cosmetic tools 44, if magnetic components are prepared according to the number of types of cosmetic tools 44, multiple types of cosmetic tools 44 can be easily attached to and detached from the motion control rod 42, making it easier to apply makeup using multiple cosmetic tools 44. Furthermore, the strip-shaped elastic body of the magnet component may be, for example, flat rubber, rubber, or an elastic structure.
[0048] Next, a cosmetic attachment 1 according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 15 to 17.
[0049] Figure 15 is a front view of a cosmetic attachment 1 according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 16 is a plan view.
[0050] A cosmetic attachment 1 according to a third embodiment of the present invention comprises a fixing device 2 for attaching and fixing the cosmetic attachment 1 to the user's face 6, a mirror 3 for checking part or all of the face 6 when applying makeup, a makeup tool control mechanism 4 for controlling the movement of the makeup tool 44, and an eyelid restraint 5 for holding down the eyelids. The mirror 3, the makeup tool control mechanism 4, and the eyelid restraint 5 are detachably attached to the fixing device 2.
[0051] The mirror 3 and cosmetic tool control mechanism 4 of the cosmetic attachment 1 according to the third embodiment of the present invention have the same configuration as those of the first and second embodiments, and their description will be omitted. The following describes the fixing device 2 and eyelid presser 5, which differ from those of the first and second embodiments. Figures 17(a) and (c) are plan views showing the state in which the eyelid presser 5 is attached to the fixing device 2, and Figures 17(b) and (d) are right side views. In Figure 17, the mirror mounting part 22a, the cosmetic tool control mechanism mounting part 22b, the nose rest 23, the temple 24, the mirror 3, and the cosmetic tool control mechanism 4 are not shown.
[0052] The fixing device 2 includes a connecting frame 21 with two downwardly convex arcs connected to each other so as not to obstruct the user's field of vision when attaching and fixing the cosmetic attachment 1 to the user's face 6, a nose rest 23 that abuts against the nose 7 to fix the mounting position of the cosmetic attachment 1, and a pair of temples 24 that hang over the ears 8 to fix the mounting position of the cosmetic attachment 1. The connecting frame 21 has a mirror mounting part 22a for attaching a mirror 3, a cosmetic control mechanism mounting part 22b for attaching a cosmetic control mechanism 4, and an eyelid rest mounting part 22c for attaching an eyelid rest 5. One end of each temple 24 is attached to each end of the connecting frame 21, and the nose rest 23 is attached to the central part of the connecting frame 21.
[0053] Note that the mirror mounting section 22a, the cosmetic control mechanism mounting section 22b, the nose pad 23, and the temple 24 have the same configuration as in the first and second embodiments, and their description will be omitted. The eyelid presser mounting section 22c, which differs from the first and second embodiments, will be described below.
[0054] The eyelid presser attachment portion 22c is located in the central part of the connecting frame 21, in a position that does not interfere with the mirror attachment portion 22a and the cosmetic control mechanism attachment portion 22b. Note that the eyelid presser attachment portion 22c is not limited to the central part of the connecting frame 21, but may be located at any other end of the connecting frame 21, or at any position along the arc of the connecting frame 21.
[0055] The eyelid clamp 5 consists of an eyelid clamp coupling control pivot 51 that is detachably connected to the eyelid clamp mounting portion 22c when the user attaches the cosmetic attachment 1 to the user's face 6 and applies makeup to the eyelids and surrounding area, such as eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, double eyelid tape, and false eyelashes, and an eyelid contact 52 whose one end is rotatably fixed to the eyelid clamp coupling control pivot 51. The eyelid clamp coupling control pivot 51 has a plate-like body with a notch that can clamp the eyelid clamp mounting portion 22c, and a projection provided on the plate-like body facing upward in the Y-axis direction for connecting the plate-like body to a hole in the eyelid contact 52. The eyelid clamp coupling control pivot 51 fits into the eyelid clamp mounting portion 22c. The eyelid restraint coupling control pivot point 51 only needs to be detachably connected to the eyelid restraint mounting part 22c. For example, the connection method may be a spring-loaded method like a clip, or a method of tightening with a screw. Furthermore, the eyelid restraint coupling control pivot point 51 only needs to have sufficient strength to fix the position of the eyelid contact 52. For example, it may be made of resin, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, carbon fiber, or a composite thereof.
[0056] The eyelid contact device 52 consists of a rod-shaped body having a hole near one end for inserting a projection of the eyelid press-holding device coupling control pivot point 51, and a V-shaped body positioned at the other end of the rod-shaped body, with a V-shaped extension tip for pressing the eyelid. The V-shaped body is fixed to the rod-shaped body at the intersection of the V. The extension direction of the V-shaped body is oriented perpendicular to the extension direction of the rod-shaped body of the eyelid contact device 52 and the Y-axis, and the V-shaped surfaces are connected so that they are parallel to the XZ plane. However, as long as the V-shaped body can press the eyelid, the direction of the V-shaped body is not limited to the direction in which the extension direction of the V-shaped body is oriented perpendicular to the extension direction of the rod-shaped body of the eyelid contact device 52 and the Y-axis, as shown in Figures 17(a) and (b). For example, as shown in Figure 17(c), the direction may be perpendicular to the Y-axis and rotated 60 degrees from the extension direction of the rod-shaped body of the eyelid contact 52 on the XZ plane, or as shown in Figure 17(d), the direction may be perpendicular to the extension direction of the rod-shaped body of the eyelid contact 52 and rotated 120 degrees from the Y-axis on the YZ plane, with the extension direction of the V-shaped body facing downwards. The eyelid contact 52 only needs to have sufficient strength to press down on the eyelid, and may be made of, for example, resin, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, carbon fiber, or a composite thereof. Preferably, the eyelid contact 52 is made of a material that does not damage the skin when it comes into contact with the skin, and is preferably made of, for example, a flexible resin or natural rubber. Also, to avoid removing makeup applied to the user, such as foundation, makeup base, eyeshadow, or eyeliner, it may be made of, for example, a makeup sponge. Furthermore, it is preferable if the tip of the V-shaped body is covered with a flexible resin, natural rubber, or cosmetic sponge, as this reduces the risk of damaging the skin.
[0057] Next, a cosmetic attachment 1 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 18 to 20.
[0058] Figure 18 is a front view of a cosmetic attachment 1 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
[0059] A cosmetic attachment 1 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention comprises a fixing device 2 for attaching and fixing the cosmetic attachment 1 to the user's face 6, and a mirror 3 for checking part or all of the face 6 when applying makeup. The fixing device 2 is detachably attached to the mirror 3. The mirror 3 has the same configuration as in the first embodiment, and therefore its description is omitted.
[0060] The fixing device 2 is a fabric-like member 25 that has elasticity to properly tighten the head when attaching and fixing the cosmetic attachment 1 to the user's face 6, by positioning it along the hairline of the forehead of the face 6, passing over the back of the head, and going around the user's head. The fixing device 2 has a mirror mounting portion 22a fixed to the fabric-like member 25 for attaching the mirror 3. The fabric-like member 25 only needs to have elasticity to properly tighten the head, and may be, for example, flat rubber made of thread and elastic thread, or polyurethane material. The fabric-like member 25 only needs to be able to properly tighten the head, and is not limited to a material with elasticity to properly tighten the head; for example, the end of the fabric-like member 25 may be tied and tightened at the back of the head, or it may be tightened using hook-and-loop fasteners.
[0061] The fastening device 2 only needs to be able to be attached to and secured to the head; for example, it could be a headband or similar hairband.
[0062] As shown in Figure 19, the mirror mounting portion 22a consists of a rectangular plate-like body fixed to the fabric member 25 and a projection provided to connect the mirror fixing device coupling pivot point 32 to the mirror fixing device coupling pivot point 32 via a notch in the mirror fixing device coupling pivot point 32. The mirror mounting portion 22a is fixed to the fabric member 25 by sewing. Note that the mirror mounting portion 22a only needs to be fixable to the fabric member 25; for example, it may be attached to the fabric member 25 by applying adhesive to one side of the plate-like body. Furthermore, the mirror mounting portion 22a is fixed so that it is in the center when the user attaches the fabric member 25. Note that the mirror mounting portion 22a only needs to be fixed to the fabric member 25; for example, as shown in Figure 20, when the user attaches the fabric member 25, the mirror mounting portion 22a may be shifted approximately 5 cm to the left from the center. Furthermore, even if the mirror mounting portion 22a is attached to the central part, the position of the mirror mounting portion 22a may be changed by rotating the cloth-like member 25 attached to the user's head. The length of the mirror mounting portion 22a should be 2 cm to 15 cm in the extension direction, and preferably 8 cm to 12 cm in order to distribute the tension applied to the cloth-like member 25. It is preferable that the mirror mounting portion 22a be curved to conform to the shape of the head, as this improves wearability. The mirror mounting portion 22a should have sufficient strength to be fixed to the cloth-like member 25 and to fix the position of the mirror 3, and may be made of, for example, resin, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, carbon fiber, or a composite thereof. It is preferable that the mirror mounting portion 22a be deformable from a flat shape to a curved shape, as this satisfies both preservation and wearability, and may be made of, for example, an elastic body or a bendable structure.
[0063] Next, a cosmetic attachment 1 according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figure 21.
[0064] Figure 21 is a front view of a cosmetic attachment 1 according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention.
[0065] A cosmetic attachment 1 according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention comprises a fixing device 2 for attaching and fixing the cosmetic attachment 1 to the user's face 6, a mirror 3 for checking part or all of the face 6 when applying makeup, a makeup tool control mechanism 4 for controlling the movement of the makeup tool 44, and an eyelid restraint 5 for holding down the eyelids. The fixing device 2 is detachably attached to the mirror 3, the makeup tool control mechanism 4, and the eyelid restraint 5.
[0066] In the cosmetic attachment 1 according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention, the mirror 3 has the same configuration as in the first embodiment, the cosmetic tool control mechanism 4 has the same configuration as in the second embodiment, and the eyelid presser 5 has the same configuration as in the third embodiment, so their descriptions are omitted. The fixing device 2 which differs from the first, second, and third embodiments will be described below.
[0067] The fixing device 2 is an elastic, cloth-like member 25 that is positioned along the hairline of the forehead of the face 6, passes over the back of the head, wraps around the user's head, and appropriately tightens the head when attaching and fixing the cosmetic attachment 1 to the user's face 6. The fixing device 2 has a mirror mounting part 22a for attaching the mirror 3, a cosmetic control mechanism mounting part 22b for attaching the cosmetic control mechanism 4, and an eyelid presser mounting part 22c for attaching the eyelid presser 5, all fixed to the cloth-like member 25.
[0068] The fastening device 2 only needs to be able to be attached to and secured to the head; for example, it could be a headband or similar hairband.
[0069] Note that the mirror mounting section 22a has the same configuration as in the fourth embodiment, and therefore its description is omitted. The following describes the cosmetic tool control mechanism mounting section 22b and the eyelid presser mounting section 22c, which differ from those in the fourth embodiment.
[0070] The cosmetic tool control mechanism mounting part 22b consists of a rectangular plate-like body fixed to the fabric-like member 25 and a projection provided to connect the cosmetic tool coupling control pivot point 41 to the cosmetic tool coupling control pivot point 41 by a notch in the cosmetic tool coupling control pivot point 41. The cosmetic tool control mechanism mounting part 22b is fixed to the fabric-like member 25 by sewing. The cosmetic tool control mechanism mounting part 22b only needs to be fixable to the fabric-like member 25; for example, it may be attached to the fabric-like member 25 by applying adhesive to one side of the plate-like body. The cosmetic tool control mechanism mounting part 22b is fixed in a position approximately 5 cm to the left of the center when the user puts on the fabric-like member 25. The cosmetic tool control mechanism mounting part 22b only needs to be fixed to the fabric-like member 25; for example, when the user puts on the fabric-like member 25, the cosmetic tool control mechanism mounting part 22b may be positioned approximately 5 cm to the right of the center. Furthermore, even if the cosmetic control mechanism mounting part 22b is mounted in the center, the position of the cosmetic control mechanism mounting part 22b may be changed by rotating the cloth-like member 25 attached to the user's head. The cosmetic control mechanism mounting part 22b should have a length of 2 cm to 15 cm in the extension direction, and preferably 8 cm to 12 cm in order to distribute the tension applied to the cloth-like member 25. It is preferable that the cosmetic control mechanism mounting part 22b be curved to conform to the shape of the head, as this improves wearability. The cosmetic control mechanism mounting part 22b should have sufficient strength to be fixed to the cloth-like member 25 and to fix the position of the cosmetic control mechanism 4, and may be made of, for example, resin, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, carbon fiber, or a composite thereof. It is preferable that the cosmetic control mechanism mounting part 22b be deformable from a flat shape to a curved shape, as this satisfies both preservation and wearability, and may be made of, for example, an elastic body or a bendable structure.
[0071] The eyelid restraint attachment portion 22c consists of a rectangular plate-like body fixed to the cloth-like member 25 and a projection provided to connect the eyelid restraint coupling control pivot point 51 to the eyelid restraint coupling control pivot point 51 via a notch in the eyelid restraint attachment portion 22c. The eyelid restraint attachment portion 22c is fixed to the cloth-like member 25 by sewing. However, the eyelid restraint attachment portion 22c only needs to be fixable to the cloth-like member 25; for example, it may be attached to the cloth-like member 25 by applying adhesive to one side of the plate-like body. Furthermore, the eyelid restraint attachment portion 22c is fixed so that it is in the center when the user puts on the cloth-like member 25. However, the eyelid restraint attachment portion 22c only needs to be fixed to the cloth-like member 25; for example, when the user puts on the cloth-like member 25, the eyelid restraint attachment portion 22c may be shifted approximately 5 cm to the left or right from the center. Furthermore, even if the eyelid restraint attachment portion 22c is attached to the central part, the position of the eyelid restraint attachment portion 22c may be changed by rotating the cloth-like member 25 attached to the user's head. The eyelid restraint attachment portion 22c should have a length of 2 cm to 15 cm in the extension direction, and preferably 8 cm to 12 cm in order to distribute the tension applied to the cloth-like member 25. It is preferable that the eyelid restraint attachment portion 22c be curved to conform to the shape of the head, as this improves wearability. The eyelid restraint attachment portion 22c should have sufficient strength to be fixed to the cloth-like member 25 and to fix the position of the eyelid restraint 5, and may be made of, for example, resin, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, carbon fiber, or a composite thereof. It is preferable that the eyelid restraint attachment portion 22c be deformable from a flat shape to a curved shape, as this satisfies both durability and wearability, and may be made of, for example, an elastic body or a bendable structure.
[0072] Furthermore, the mirror mounting section 22a, the cosmetic control mechanism mounting section 22b, and the eyelid presser mounting section 22c do not need to be separate; they may be a single plate-like body (mounting section 22), or any two of the mirror mounting section 22a, the cosmetic control mechanism mounting section 22b, and the eyelid presser mounting section 22c may be a single plate-like body (mounting section 22).
[0073] Note that the eyelid presser 5 does not need to be attached to the fixing device 2, depending on the type of makeup being applied. Instructions for use
[0074] First, the method of using the cosmetic attachment 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[0075] When a user applies makeup using the makeup attachment 1, the fixing device 2 and the mirror 3 must be connected as a preliminary step before attaching the makeup attachment 1 to the user's face 6. Therefore, the preliminary steps will be explained first.
[0076] First, one end of the arm 33 is fitted into the hole in the mirror fixing pivot point 32. Next, the mirror motion control pivot point 34 is fitted into the other end of the arm 33. Then, the reflector 31 and the mirror motion control pivot point 34 are fitted together. The order of fitting can be changed. This connects the reflector 31, the mirror motion control pivot point 34, the arm 33, and the mirror fixing pivot point 32.
[0077] Next, the mirror fixing pivot point 32 and the mirror mounting portion 22a are connected by fitting the notch in the mirror fixing pivot point 32 into the mirror mounting portion 22a. This connects the fixing device 2 and the mirror 3, completing the preliminary preparations.
[0078] Next, we will explain how the user attaches the cosmetic attachment 1 to the user's face 6.
[0079] The user holds the fastener 2 in their hand and brings the nose rest 23, which is attached to the center of the connecting frame 21 of the fastener 2, against their nose 7, and places the pair of temples 24, which are connected to each end of the connecting frame 21 of the fastener 2, on the user's left and right ears 8, respectively. In this way, the connecting frame 21, which is worn in front of the user's face 6, can be fixed in a positional relationship with the user's face 6 so as not to obstruct the user's field of vision.
[0080] Next, a method of use in which a user checks all or part of their face 6 using the cosmetic attachment 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[0081] The user lightly pinches the reflector 31 with their left hand and adjusts its position so that they can see their entire face 6 and parts of it using their left eye 9 or right eye 10. The user may also use their right hand to adjust the position of the reflector 31. Alternatively, instead of pinching the reflector 31, the user may pinch their arm 33 to adjust its position. The user may also adjust the position of the reflector 31 so that they can see their entire face 6 and parts of it using their left eye 9 or right eye 10, for example, their left eye 9, right eye 10, left eyebrow, right eyebrow, nose 7, etc., reflected in the reflector 31.
[0082] For example, if the distance from the center of the connecting frame 21 to the reflector 31 is approximately 5 cm from the user's perspective, and the reflector 31 is moved approximately 1 cm to the left and tilted approximately 10 degrees toward the left eye 9, the user's left eye 9 and its surroundings can be seen with the user's left eye 9. Alternatively, if the distance from the center of the connecting frame 21 to the reflector 31 is approximately 5 cm from the user's perspective, and the reflector 31 is moved approximately 3 cm to the left and approximately 3 cm downwards, and tilted approximately 30 degrees upwards toward the left eye 9, the user's left eye 9 and its surroundings can be seen with the user's left eye 9. In the former example, the user can see their left eye 9 with their left eye 9 while facing forward, which is preferable when evaluating the quality of makeup. In the latter example, when the user's left eye 9 and its surroundings are viewed with the user's left eye 9, the user will be checking in a way that looks down with their left eye 9. At this time, the user's upper eyelids are in an extended state, which is preferable when applying makeup to the upper eyelids.
[0083] Furthermore, if the arm 33 consists of two straight columnar bodies (the first arm 33a and the second arm 33b) and a joint 35 that rotatably fits the two arms 33, the position of the reflector 31 may be adjusted not only by pinching the reflector 31, but also by pinching the first arm 33a, the second arm 33b, or the joint 35.
[0084] After adjusting the position of the reflector 31, the user holds the makeup tool 44 with their left hand and applies makeup using the makeup tool 44 while confirming the area to be made up with the reflector 31. The user can fix the reflector 31 in front of their face 6 with the makeup attachment 1 without having to hold it with their hand, allowing them to use their other hand to assist with makeup application. The user may also use their right hand when applying makeup. The user may move the position of the reflector 31 as needed to improve the workability and visibility of each makeup application. For example, to apply eyeshadow to the upper eyelid of the left eye 9, the user may adjust the reflector 31 in front of the left eye 9, apply eyeshadow to the upper eyelid of the left eye 9, and then adjust the reflector 31 about 2 cm upward from in front of the left eye 9 to apply eyebrow makeup to the left eyebrow.
[0085] Next, a method for using the cosmetic attachment 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[0086] When a user applies makeup using the makeup attachment 1, the fixing device 2, the mirror 3, and the makeup control mechanism 4 must be connected as a preliminary step before attaching the makeup attachment 1 to the user's face 6. Therefore, the preliminary steps will be explained first.
[0087] In the second embodiment of the present invention, the reflector 31 of the mirror 3 of the cosmetic attachment 1, the mirror motion control pivot 34, the arm 33, and the mirror fixing device coupling pivot 32 are connected in the same manner as in the first embodiment. The following describes a method of connecting the cosmetic control mechanism 4 that differs from the method of use in the first embodiment.
[0088] After connecting the mirror 3 in the same manner as in the first embodiment, the motion control rod 42 is inserted into the hole in the cosmetic mechanism coupling control pivot 41 to connect it. Next, the handle 43 is inserted into the hole near one end of the motion control rod 42 to connect it. Next, the cosmetic accessory 44 is inserted into the hole near the other end of the motion control rod 42 to connect it. The order of connection may be changed. This connects the cosmetic mechanism coupling control pivot 41, the motion control rod 42, the handle 43, and the cosmetic accessory 44. Alternatively, after connecting the cosmetic mechanism coupling control pivot 41, the motion control rod 42, the handle 43, and the cosmetic accessory 44, the mirror 3 may be connected in the same manner as in the first embodiment.
[0089] The fixing device 2 and the mirror 3 are connected in the same manner as in the first embodiment.
[0090] After connecting the fixing device 2 and the mirror 3 in the same manner as in the first embodiment, the cosmetic mechanism coupling control pivot point 41 and the cosmetic control mechanism mounting part 22b are connected by fitting the notch of the cosmetic mechanism coupling control pivot point 41 into the cosmetic control mechanism mounting part 22b. Alternatively, the fixing device 2 and the cosmetic control mechanism 4 may be connected first, and then the fixing device 2 and the mirror 3 may be connected in the same manner as in the first embodiment. This completes the preliminary preparation.
[0091] Next, the user attaches the cosmetic attachment 1 to the user's face 6 in the same manner as in the first embodiment.
[0092] Next, a method of use in which the user checks all or part of their face 6 using the cosmetic attachment 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and a method of use in which the user applies makeup to their left eye 9 or right eye 10 will be described. Note that the method of use in which the user checks all or part of their face 6 using the cosmetic attachment 1 is the same as the method of use in the first embodiment, and therefore the explanation will be omitted.
[0093] After adjusting the position of the reflector 31, the user adjusts the positions of the motion control rod 42, the handle 43, and the makeup tool 44 so that the user can apply makeup in a way that is easy for the user to do using the makeup tool control mechanism 4. For example, the user holds the handle 43 with their left hand and adjusts it so that the handle 43 is facing the same direction as the user's front. The handle 43 can be in any position that is easy for the user to hold; for example, one end of the handle 43 may be angled upwards by about 10 to 30 degrees, or the other end may be angled downwards by about 10 to 30 degrees. Next, the user adjusts the positions of the motion control rod 42 and the makeup tool 44 in order to apply makeup to the appropriate position using the makeup tool 44. For example, when a user applies eyeliner to their left eye 9, the user holds the motion control rod 42 and adjusts the makeup tool 44 so that it is approximately 1 cm from the eyelashes of the left eye 9. Then, the user holds the makeup tool 44 and adjusts its position so that it is approximately 1-2 mm from the eyelashes of the left eye 9. It should be noted that, as long as the makeup tool 44 can be applied to the appropriate position, the user may adjust the position of only the motion control rod 42 or the makeup tool 44, or change the order in which they adjust the positions. Furthermore, the user may use their right hand when adjusting the positions of the motion control rod 42, the handle 43, and the makeup tool 44.
[0094] Next, the user holds the handle 43 and moves the handle 43 to apply makeup using the makeup tool 44. For example, when the user is drawing eyeliner on their left eye 9, they can move the handle 43 to the left by an appropriate distance to move the makeup tool 44 along the eyelash line of the left eye 9 from the inner corner to the outer corner, thereby applying the eyeliner. This makeup application process can be performed by holding the handle 43 in the left hand when applying makeup to the left eye 9, or by holding the handle 43 in the left hand when applying makeup to the right eye 10, or by holding the handle 43 in the right hand when applying makeup to the left eye 9, or by holding the handle 43 in the right hand when applying makeup to the right eye 10.
[0095] In the second embodiment of the present invention, when a user applies makeup to their left eye 9 or right eye 10 using the makeup attachment 1, it is preferable to change the makeup tools 44 as needed to apply multiple makeup items. For example, the user may first attach an eyeliner to the motion control rod 42 to apply eyeliner to their left eye 9, apply the makeup, then remove the eyeliner from the motion control rod 42, and then attach an eyebrow pencil to the motion control rod 42 to apply eyebrow makeup to their left eyebrow. If multiple magnetic components are provided to connect the makeup tools 44 to the motion control rod 42, it becomes easier to attach and detach multiple makeup tools 44 to the motion control rod 42 when applying makeup using multiple makeup tools 44, thus facilitating the application of makeup.
