Flexible Laminar Make-Up Articles with Integrated Application Surfaces
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional cosmetics and make-up articles are conventional in design and lack innovative marketing and usage solutions, and often have a high environmental impact.
Innovation Solution
A make-up article comprising a laminar support with a make-up product adhered to it, where the support is made of materials like paper or cardboard, and the product is applied using a solvent-based cosmetic powder blend with carrageenan, allowing for a reusable and flexible design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If conventional containers and godets are used to house make-up products, then the make-up article can be properly contained and applied, but the environmental impact increases and reusability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the make-up product from its conventional container and godet housing, applying it directly onto a flexible support that serves as both packaging and application surface. This eliminates the need for separate containment structures, reducing environmental impact while simplifying the overall device structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible support serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as packaging, protection, and application surface. The make-up product integrated onto this support creates a multi-functional article that combines containment and application, reducing the need for separate components and improving reusability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple containers are coupled together to create multi-coloured palettes, then colour variety is achieved, but device complexity and environmental impact increase
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges multiple colour variants of the make-up product onto a single flexible support, creating a multi-coloured palette in one integrated structure. This eliminates the need for multiple separate containers, reducing device complexity and environmental impact while maintaining colour variety through direct application surfaces.
3Strength
If conventional rigid packaging is used, then product protection is adequate, but flexibility and reusability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The invention uses a flexible support made of laminated materials that provides adequate protection for the make-up product while enabling reuse and adaptability. The flexible nature allows the support to be folded, stored, and reused multiple times, unlike rigid conventional packaging, while still protecting the integrated make-up product from damage.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution provides a make-up article with a lower environmental impact, reusability, and flexibility, while maintaining effective application and adherence to the skin.
Implementation Method 1
a make-up article, which comprises a laminar support, on top of which there is a make-up product forming a decoration

AI summary
A method for producing a make-up article (1) comprising the following steps: a. preparing a non-make-up support (2); b. preparing a frame (3) with a surface (4) formed of a screened area (S) and at least one passage area (P1, P2, P3) that determines the shape of a decoration, to be impressed onto the support, the passage area (P1, P2, P3) being formed of a plurality of mutually adjacent holes (F); c.placing the frame (3) on the support (2); d. pouring a make-up product (5) onto the frame; e. spreading the make-up product (5) over the surface (4) so that the said product is deposited on the part of the support facing the passage area (P1, P2; P3); f. removing the frame (3) from the support; g. leaving the make-up product (5) to dry/desiccate on the support (2).
