2. Description of the Related Art

Cosmetics refer to articles which are used for a human body in order to add charming of the human body by making the human body clean and beautiful, to change the appearance of the human body into being brighter, to maintain skin or hair in a healthy state, or to enhance the skin or the hair, while exerting slight effects on the human body.
The cosmetics may be mainly classified into basic, color, and functional cosmetics.
The color cosmetics, which are used to beautifully adorn the skin of a user by making the appearance of the user beautiful, are classified into a base makeup, which is used for making a skin color uniform and covering a defect, and a point makeup which is used for partially enhancing a three-dimensional effect of a lip, eyes, or nails. The base makeup includes a makeup base, a foundation and a powder, and the point makeup includes a lipstick, an eye liner, and mascara.
The foundation, which corresponds to the base makeup among the color cosmetics, is classified into solid-type foundation, liquid-type foundation and gel-type foundation according to a type of cosmetic materials. In case of the solid-type foundation, although the solid-type foundation produces an effect of excellently covering a skin, the makeup may be formed into a mass when the makeup is refreshed. In case of the liquid-type foundation, although the liquid-type foundation gives a good close contact feel, the liquid-type foundation may not be long-lasted.
Accordingly, recently, the number of customers, who favor a gel-type foundation having a significantly long-lasting effect and a good close contact feel when applied to a skin, is increased
In general, the gel-phase foundation are produced by mixing mutually different materials using an emulsifying agent including a surface active agent, and may be classified into water-in-oil (W/O) cosmetic materials, which are formed by introducing water-based material into oil-based material, and oil-in-water (O/W) cosmetic materials, which are formed by introducing the oil-based material into the water-based material, according to mixing manners.
The W/O cosmetic material, which is formed by introducing water-based material into oil-based material, contains a larger quantity of oil than that of water to represent low absorption into a skin and heavy touch feeling. However, the water-in-oil cosmetic material is longer lasted when comparing with the oil-in-water cosmetic material. Therefore, the cosmetics requiring a long lasting are produced by using the water-in-oil cosmetic materials to increase water resistance against sweat and water.
The water-in-oil cosmetic material is produced with low viscosity in order to compensate for heavy touch feeling and sticky characteristics. However, when a water-in-oil product having low viscosity is stored in a container for a long time during distribution thereof, an aqueous material of an internal phase and an oil material of an external phase may be separated from each other. In this case, a user must shake the container to mix the separated aqueous and oil materials with each other for the use thereof, which causes the inconvenience of use.
In order to solve the above problem, as shown in FIG. 1, an applicant of the present invent has been issued with Korea Patent Registration No. 10-1159877 directed to a product contained in a compact container having an impregnation member impregnated with low-viscosity water-in oil.
However, according to the related art, an impregnating member 1 is formed in a single structure, so that only one type of cosmetic materials may be impregnated in the impregnating member 1. Accordingly, the related art does not satisfy a user who wants various expressions through makeup. In order to use cosmetic materials having at least two colors or different ingredients when making up, the user must prepare different types of cosmetics.
In order to solve the problem, as shown in FIG. 2, the applicant of the present invention has been issued with Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0473967 disclosing an impregnating member 2 partitioned into two parts. The two parts of the impregnating member 2 are impregnated with different types of cosmetic materials, respectively, so that a user can simultaneously use two types of cosmetic materials.
However, according to the related art, a user puts cosmetic materials on the skin of the user by directly applying cosmetic materials contained in the impregnating member 2 to a puff. However, when the cosmetic materials are applied to the puff, the cosmetic materials having two ingredients are mixed in the impregnating member 2 to have a chemical reaction to degrade the effects of the cosmetic materials.
In addition, according to the related art, in order to use the cosmetic materials having two ingredients, a user must apply the cosmetic materials to the puff. In order to prevent the cosmetic materials having the two ingredients from being mixed for the use of the cosmetic materials, the user must delicately apply the cosmetic materials to the puff. Accordingly, the user may feel inconvenient in making up through various manners.
