Solution Overview

Problem

Existing make-up products with three-dimensional surfaces primarily focus on visual dynamism through color and surface decoration, failing to offer new aesthetic effects when viewed from different angles.

Innovation Solution

A make-up product with a substantially planar surface featuring a plurality of three-dimensional elements, each defined by three regular square faces, providing distinct decorations visible from different viewpoints.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If a three-dimensional surface with color patterns is used, then visual attractiveness is improved, but aesthetic novelty from different viewing angles is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual attractivenessVSAvoidaesthetic novelty from different angles
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from traditional 2D surface decorations to a 3D structured surface composed of multiple planar facets arranged at different angles. Each facet presents a different decorative pattern when viewed from different directions, creating a multi-dimensional visual experience that changes dynamically with viewing angle, thereby resolving the contradiction between visual attractiveness and aesthetic novelty.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The surface is divided into multiple discrete planar facets, each independently oriented at specific angles. This segmentation allows different decorative patterns to be applied to different facets, enabling the surface to display multiple distinct aesthetic effects simultaneously from different viewing angles, thus enhancing both visual attractiveness and angular versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If a planar surface with three-dimensional elements is used, then multiple viewing angles are achieved, but surface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemultiple viewing anglesVSAvoidsurface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a third dimension by arranging planar facets at various angles to form a polyhedral structure. This dimensional transformation enables multiple viewing angles to be achieved through geometric configuration rather than through complex mechanical or optical systems, thus enhancing angular versatility while maintaining relatively simple structural implementation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

A make-up product (1) comprises a make-up substance (2) which determines at least one make-up application surface, at least part of the make-up application surface being a substantially planar surface (4) formed of a plurality of three-dimensional elements (5, 5', 5") arranged side by side; each three-dimensional element (5) is defined by a first face (A), a second (B), and a third (C), the three faces (A, B, C) being squares arranged as three faces of a regular cube with one vertex (V) in common, and a first decoration (A1) being created as a whole over the set of first faces (A) and being visible when a user observes the substantially planar surface (4) from a substantially normal direction with respect to the first faces (A), a second decoration (B1) being created on the set of second faces (B) which is visible when a user observes the substantially planar surface (4) from a substantially normal direction with respect to the second faces (B), and a third decoration (C1) being created on the set of third faces (C) which is visible when a user observes the substantially planar surface (4) from a substantially normal direction with respect to the third faces (C).
