3D Mask Makeup Component with Transfer Layer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current makeup application techniques and devices fail to accurately and safely apply cosmetics to human faces, as they lack secure positioning and often result in suboptimal makeup effects compared to simulated virtual applications.
Innovation Solution
A makeup application component comprising a customized three-dimensional mask with a transfer layer and a pigment layer, where the mask's surface curve matches the user's face, allowing for secure and accurate application of a predetermined makeup pattern using a cosmetics machine that applies the pigment layer onto the face.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If manual makeup application techniques are used, then consumers can apply cosmetics themselves, but the makeup application effect falls short of expectations due to varying proficiency levels
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a three-dimensional mask that copies the exact geometry and curvature of the user's face. This mask serves as a physical template that transfers the ideal makeup pattern precisely to the correct facial positions, eliminating the need for manual application skills while achieving high precision makeup placement
Solution Approach 2:
The three-dimensional mask acts as an intermediary device between the desired makeup pattern and the user's face. Instead of requiring direct manual application, the mask mediates the transfer process by holding the makeup material and positioning it accurately on facial features through its pre-formed geometry
2Manufacturing precision
If a simulated makeup application effect is used on a screen, then users can practice makeup skills, but the actual manual application effect cannot match the simulated effect
Solution Approach 1:
The three-dimensional mask is pre-formed with the exact geometry matching the user's face contours and features. The ideal makeup pattern is predetermined and integrated into the mask structure before application, allowing instant transfer of precise makeup patterns without requiring practice or adjustment time
Solution Approach 2:
The mask creates a physical copy of the ideal makeup pattern directly onto the face, transferring the design from the predetermined mask structure to the skin surface in one action, achieving both high accuracy and speed simultaneously
3Manufacturing precision
If an automatic cosmetics device is used to apply makeup accurately, then cosmetics can be precisely applied based on simulated effects, but secure positioning of the makeup tool becomes a safety concern
Solution Approach 1:
The three-dimensional mask is constructed from flexible material that conforms to the soft contours of the human face. This flexibility ensures the mask adapts to facial geometry without exerting harmful pressure or causing injury, while maintaining precise positioning of the makeup application
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible mask serves as a safe intermediary between the makeup application mechanism and the user's skin. It distributes any applied pressure or force across a larger area and follows facial contours, preventing concentrated stress points that could cause injury while ensuring accurate makeup placement

AI summary
A makeup application component includes a three-dimensional mask, a transfer layer, and a pigment layer. A surface curve of a first surface of the three-dimensional mask is corresponding to a surface curve of a face of a user. The transfer layer covers the first surface of the three-dimensional mask. The transfer layer is provided with a first surface and a second surface that are opposite each other. The first surface of the transfer layer clings to the first surface of the three-dimensional mask, and the pigment layer is attached to the second surface of the transfer layer.
