Description

The present invention relates to the makeup of human keratin materials, and more particularly but not exclusively to the make-up of the skin, lips or superficial body growths, in particular the nails or the hair. Background Makeup is usually achieved by the use of colored matter that is deposited on the body or face. The final result depends not only on the quality of the products used, in particular the ingredients and formulation techniques used, but also the dexterity of the user.

In the hope of gaining dexterity and thus improve the makeup result, some users follow training. Others do not, considering themselves unfit for it or having no time to devote to it. It has been discovered that it is possible to obtain satisfactory makeup results thanks to the light-sensitive makeup. The accuracy of rendering exceeds what users usually get with conventional makeup, without the need for special dexterity or training. Moreover. the light-sensitive makeup can make it possible to obtain colonel results that go beyond the classic meaning of make-up. This can be any pattern mimicking a conventional makeup pattern or text, logo, ...

The light-sensitive makeup is based on the use of at least one thermally stable photochromic composition capable of being revealed by light radiation. for example UV radiation, and maintain a change in appearance related to irradiation for at least one hour. In order to carry out the light-sensitive makeup, at least one thermally stable photochromic composition is deposited on the zone to be treated in the form of at least one layer. At the moment when the thermally stable photochromic composition is applied, it is in the undisclosed state and can be colored or colorless, depending on the ingredients used.

Irradiation of the thermally stable photochromic composition layer can be carried out selectively by irradiating it in a non-uniform manner. Thus, some regions may not be revealed and others are and / or regions are revealed to varying degrees, leading to different color intensities. The light energy used remains relatively low, and does not lead to tanning of the skin.

A light-sensitive makeup process is described in patent EP 938 887 which is incorporated by reference and uses thermally stable photochromic agents which are applied to the skin. This patent describes a photochromic agent chosen from diarylethenes and fulgides. As such, the results are satisfactory on the skin but deserve improvement. Indeed, a first problem that arises is that after the realization of the light-sensitive makeup, the aesthetics can deteriorate rather quickly due to the movements of the light-sensitive makeup on the skin, which result from the intrinsic movements of the makeup area. In itself, movements are not very important. However, because of the precision of the light-sensitive makeup, the image loses its sharpness, unlike a traditional makeup, which can undergo many movements without anyone noticing. This is due to the fact that in a conventional makeup the points of the same area may have fairly similar colors. Thus, moving the positions of the points certainly generates a change, but it remains substantially imperceptible. Some people even deliberately realize these movements to scramble their makeup and make them look more melted. The movements of the coating, in the case of the light-sensitive makeup, have a much more detrimental effect, quickly rendering the result unsightly and giving the wearer the desire to remove it. In addition, the light-sensitive makeup requires an irradiator. Thus, in case of loss of makeup effect during the day, it may be difficult for the user to redo makeup, because it does not necessarily have easy access to the irradiator. A second problem is that the light-sensitive makeup is based on the use of photochromic agents, some of which will be revealed and another will not be revealed. The unrevealed portion, transparent, may very well become stained thereafter, for example after one week of exposure to ambient light.

In general, the stability of the undisclosed parts is sufficient to withstand several hours, or even a day or two. Thus, to the extent that the user removes makeup completely before the undisclosed portions become colored. the problem does not appear.

If, however, a portion of the undisclosed portion is transferred to a garment or other body part. the user does not notice it. The user can then put his garment in his wardrobe at a time when no task has yet appeared. The user will later see out the garment that the portion of the undisclosed portion that has transferred to his garment begins to become colored. This phenomenon, which does not exist in traditional makeup, is very embarrassing. Furthermore, there are known in the field of nail polish liquid cosmetic compositions which, after deposition on the nail and under the action of UV radiation. undergo polymerization reactions and / or in situ crosslinking resulting in most often crosslinked polymeric networks.

Reactions such as oxidation with air, possibly in the presence of catalysts. such as oxidation catalysts, can also lead to the formation of solid coatings. Other solid coating forming systems are based on reactions within the composition itself, either by reaction between ingredients. either by a reaction of an ingredient on itself. These reactions may take place, for example, at the time of evaporation of a solvent from the composition. In the prior art, once the coating is made, the user is often in the situation where he can no longer make the makeup disappear. Or the user wants most of the time to eliminate his makeup when he wants. especially in the evening before going to bed. Faced with this problem, attempts to achieve partial cross-linking have often been unsuccessful, because we quickly lose the benefits of the holding if we want to facilitate makeup removal. The use of certain crosslinkable materials with photochromic pigments has been described in patent application EP 1 649 898. This application describes the combination of cyanoacrylate monomers in combination with pigments, these pigments possibly being photochromic pigments for dyeing keratin materials. . SUMMARY There is a need to solve at least one of the above-mentioned problems and the invention seeks to address them. According to one of its aspects, the subject of the invention is a process for the light-sensitive makeup of human keratin materials, in particular the skin, in which: a) at least one layer of thermally stable photochromic composition is applied to the keratin materials, b ) a second composition applied to the first provides a mechanical protection of the light-sensitive makeup. The second composition may provide protection by forming a covering layer by evaporation of solvent (s), by a polymerization or crosslinking reaction, which need not necessarily be complete. Surface hardening may be sufficient to improve hold. The light-sensitive makeup may be made before or after step b) by selectively revealing or erasing the thermally stable photochromic composition layer, the second composition covering the zones thus revealed or erased. According to another of its aspects, the subject of the invention is also a process for the light-sensitive makeup of human keratin materials, in which: a) at least one layer of thermally stable, photocurable composition is applied to the keratin materials; form by photocrosslinking a material providing mechanical protection of the light-sensitive makeup.

The light-sensitive makeup may be made before or after step b) by selectively revealing or deleting the layer of the thermally stable photochromic composition. The second composition may or may not react with the first. The invention improves the mechanical strength of the light-sensitive makeup. The degradation of the image formed is delayed and the loss of sharpness of the image over time is slowed down.

The light-sensitive makeup is made less sensitive to friction and movement. In addition, the risk of transferring the thermally stable photochromic composition to clothing or other body regions is decreased. Thus, thanks to the invention, a more sustainable light-sensitive makeup can be produced on areas such as areas covered with clothing, for example the back, the belly. breasts, legs or buttocks. The thermally stable photochromic composition can comprise a first compound and the covering layer comprise a second compound. this second compound allowing the formation of a material providing mechanical protection by reacting with the first compound. The second compound may comprise at least one pattern of a polymer formed during a crosslinking leading to said material. The material may be formed by photopolymerization, upon exposure to radiation to reveal the thermally stable photochromic composition. in particular UV radiation.

The light-sensitive makeup may be made before or after formation of the material. By revealing selectively, it should be understood that certain areas of the thermally stable photochromic composition layer are more exposed than others, in particular to form one or more patterns. The material providing mechanical protection of the light-sensitive makeup is advantageously transparent. In the case where the keratin materials are covered by a single layer which comprises the light-sensitive makeup, the thickness of this layer is preferably greater than 5 m, and more preferably 10 m. The thickness is preferably less than 1 mm.

In the case where the thermally stable photochromic composition incorporates all or part of the compounds that can potentially crosslink, it is possible to apply in a second time. before or after drying of the first composition, a second compound causing the crosslinking or necessary thereto. The thickness of the second layer (expressed after evaporation of the possible solvents) is preferably equal to at least 20% of the thickness of the first layer, and preferably greater than 50% of the thickness of the first layer. The thickness of the second layer is preferably greater than 5 m.

In the case where the thermally stable photochromic composition does not include any potentially crosslinkable compound, it is possible, in a second step, to apply a second composition containing the compounds producing the crosslinking. The thickness of the second layer (expressed after evaporation of the possible solvents) is preferably equal to at least 10% of the thickness of the first layer, and preferably greater than 30% of the thickness of the first layer. The thickness of the second layer is at least greater than 5 m, and preferably less than 1 mm. The cover layer formed on the photochromic composition may be non-tacky after drying and / or crosslinking.

The covering layer may have a modulus of elasticity of between 1 and 200 MPa. The thermally stable photochromic composition can be photocrosslinkable, as indicated above. After exposing the composition to reveal and crosslink, the uncrosslinked portions can be removed.

The removal may be by abrasion and / or by using a solvent in which the uncrosslinked thermally stable photochromic composition is soluble and the crosslinked thermally stable photochromic composition is insoluble. This may make it possible to avoid unnecessarily covering the keratin materials with the undetected thermally stable photochromic composition.

According to another of its aspects, the subject of the invention is also an assembly (also called a kit) of light-sensitive makeup comprising, within the same packaging: a) a first thermally stable photochromic composition comprising a photochromic agent and making it possible to carry out a light-sensitive makeup on human keratin materials, when exposed to radiation to reveal the photochromic agent, b) a second composition to be applied to the first composition to allow the formation of a material that mechanically protects the light-sensitive makeup. for example, forming a coating color on the layer of photochromic composition.

The photochromic agent may be thermally stable and selected from diarylethenes and fulgides.

Thermally stable photochromic composition The light-sensitive makeup is produced in accordance with the invention. thanks to a thermally stable photochromic composition adapted. The thermally stable photochromic composition according to the invention contains one or more thermally stable photochromic agents that are suitable for producing a light-sensitive makeup, that is to say that they change their appearance under the effect of a light radiation. The thermally stable photochromic agent (s) used in the invention may be thermally stable photochromic agents or irreversible photochromic agents, i.e. once the change in appearance is obtained, it remains permanent. . According to the thermally stable photochromic agent (s) used. the light-sensitive makeup may be carried out by progressively revealing this or these thermally stable photochromic agents, by exposure to a suitable radiation, for example UV and / or near UV radiation, or starting from a thermally stable photochromic composition comprising one or more thermally photorevable agents; stable in the state already revealed that is brought into an undisclosed state by applying a suitable radiation, for example visible off-near UV. The light-sensitive makeup can be used both, for example successively or alternatively, a revelation of one or more thermally stable photochromic agents and an erasure of one or more thermally stable photochromic agents, so as to obtain precisely the result of makeup. research. The thermally stable photochromic composition can be contained. with the thermally stable photochromic agent (s) in a non-disclosed state, in a conditioning device, prior to application to the keratin materials. In that case. the thermally stable photochromic composition can be applied to the keratin materials with the thermally stable photochromic agent (s) in the undisclosed state, and then the radiation for passing said photochromic agent (s) in the exposed state is applied. Alternatively, the photochromic composition is applied to the keratin materials with the thermally stable photochromic agent (s) in the non-revealed state, then these are brought into a revealed state, and then radiation is applied selectively to pass or the thermally stable photochromic agents, for example in a localized manner, in the non-disclosed state, so as to create one or more patterns, for example, and / or obtain the desired color.

In another variant, the thermally stable photochromic composition is contained in the conditioning device with thermally stable photochromic agents in the exposed state. The thermally stable photochromic composition is then applied with the thermally stable photochromic agent (s) in the disclosed state, and these are brought into a selectively undisclosed state. so as to form one or more patterns and / or obtain the desired color. When it is sought to use a thermally stable photochromic composition whose thermally stable photochromic agent (s) are in the already-revealed state when the composition is applied to keratinous materials, it is possible to use a conditioning device comprising a light source enabling to expose the thermally stable photochromic composition, for example within the enclosure of the vessel containing it or at a dispensing orifice or an application member, to a light radiation of wavelength adapted to reveal the thermally stable photochromic agent (s). The thermally stable photochromic composition may comprise a thermally stable photochromic agent which makes it possible, for example, to generate a color in the revealed state, for example a colorless state in the unexposed state, or a mixture of thermally stable photochromic agents producing, in the state, revealed respective different colors having, in the undisclosed state, another color or being colorless. For example, it is possible to use a thermally stable photochromic composition comprising a mixture of thermally stable photochromic agents, respectively yellow, blue and magenta, with, for example, a greater proportion of thermally stable photochromic agent whose color is yellow in the revealed state. the proportions being for example chosen to obtain, when all the thermally stable photochromic agents are in the revealed state, a hue close to that of the skin. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a mixture of thermally stable photochromic agents respectively yellow, magenta and blue, in relative proportions of approximately 50%, 35% and 15%, is thus used.

When the thermally stable photochromic composition comprises a plurality of thermally stable photochromic agents, thermally stable photochromic agents can be used which are detectable by exposure to different respective dominant wavelengths. so that by choosing the wavelength of the radiation to which the thermally stable photochromic composition is exposed, one color may be revealed than another. It is also possible to use thermally stable photochromic agents in a thermally stable photochromic composition which are erasable when exposed to respective dominant wavelengths, thereby making it possible to choose the characteristics of the light used to erase the thermally photochromic composition. stable. to selectively erase one color rather than another. Measurement of the thermal stability of a thermally stable photochromic agent The test for determining whether a photochromic agent is thermally stable is as follows. The agent to be tested, initially of color E, is subjected; in the unexposed state, irradiation with UV radiation for 1 minute at 1J / cm 2, then its final color Ef is determined using a spectrocolorimeter, for example the MINOLTA CM 2002 mark (d / 8 , SCI D65, 2 ° observer); we obtain a color difference AE;, f =. / (a f ù a,) 2 + (b f ùb) 2 + Li ù) 2 in the CIE Lab space, which corresponds to the maximum of revelation. This compound is then left in complete darkness for 60 minutes at 25 ° C., and its Er color is determined again according to the above method. When the new value of AE; _r is at least 50% of the value of AE; f, corresponding to the revelation maximum, the compound is considered to be thermally stable. Preferably, the thermally stable photochromic agent is chosen so that once revealed, the makeup obtained can be kept visually more than one hour, better more than four hours. The thermally stable photochromic composition may be free of thermally reversible photochromic compounds, such as doped titanium oxide, spiropyrans, spirooxazines or chromenes, unless certain forms of these compounds fall within the definition of thermally stable photochromic agents. The thermally stable photochromic photochromic agent or agents according to the invention are advantageously such that, under a first irradiation, this or these agents are revealed by dyeing, starting from a substantially colorless or slightly colored state, and under a second irradiation. I2 different from the first, this or these agents become substantially colorless or slightly colored. Irradiation In exemplary embodiments of the invention, UV irradiation (290 nm to 400 nm), in particular UVA (320 to 400 nm) and / or UVB radiation, is preferable in the near UV range (400 to 440 nm). ), while the irradiation h is a radiation in the visible, for example white light. Thermally stable photochromic agents Among the photochromic agents that can be used, the compounds belonging to the family of diarylethenes and those belonging to the family of fulgides are preferred, this list not being however limiting. Those skilled in the art can refer to patent EP 938 887 which describes examples of thermally stable photochromic agents. The diarylethenes may be represented by the following formula (I): in which the radicals R 1 and R 2 are always in "cis" relation with respect to the double bond.

These radicals R 1 and R 2 can be, independently of one another, chosen from C 1 -C 16 alkyl radicals, optionally fluorinated or perfluorinated, or nitriles. There may be mentioned in particular the compounds of the following formula:

CN CN> ù (A B

They may also form a 5- or 6-carbon ring, optionally fluorinated or perfluorinated, in particular according to the following formula: CF 15 CF 2 2 CF 2

AB or form a ring with 5 anhydride carbon atoms, and in particular according to the following formula: AB in which X may be an oxygen atom or a radical -NR3, with R representing a C2 alkyl and / or hydroxyalkyl radical; -C 16.

The radicals A and B may be equal or different and may in particular represent a 5-atom ring or a 5 and 6-membered bicycle, according to the following structures: R 12 R 12 in which: X and Y may be equal or different, and can represent an oxygen atom, sulfur, an oxidized form of sulfur. of nitrogen or selenium, - Z and W may be the same or different, and may represent a carbon or nitrogen atom, - the radicals R3 to R12 may be equal or different, and may represent a hydrogen, a group alkyl or alkoxy, linear or branched, C1-C16, a halogen. a linear or branched C 1 -C 4 fluorinated or perfluorinated group, a carboxylic group, a C 1 -C 16 alkylcarboxylic group, a C 1 -C 16 mono- or dialkylamino group, a nitrile group; a phenyl, naphthalene group or a heterocycle (pyridine, quinoline, thiophene) may be substituted on these radicals.

However, groups A and B should not both be equal to an indole type structure as follows: R12 Groups A and B can be separated from the ring by one or two double bonds. There must always be on the ortho positions of the junction, between the double bond and the radicals A and B, a group other than hydrogen, for example CH3, CN or CO2Et. that is, the groups R3 or R5, R4, R7 and R8 must be different from the hydrogen meaning. By way of example, there may be mentioned the following compound which can pass from colorless to red in the following manner, after irradiation at 404-436 nm (return at 546-578 nm): CN CN CN CN SS An example of diarylethene is the one, of blue color in the state disclosed, marketed under the commercial reference: DAE-MP by the company Yamada Chemical (Japan), chemical name and formula: 1, 2bis (2-methyl-5-phenyl- 3-thienyl) -3,3,4,4,5,5-hexafluoroc yc lopentene Another example of diarylethene is that of a yellow color in the disclosed state, of formula20 marketed under the commercial reference: DAE-2BT by YAMADA CHEMICALS (Japan). ) and chemical name: 1.2-bis (3-methylbenzo (b) thiphen-2-yl) perfluorocyclopentene.

The fulgids can be represented by the following formula: in which. group A has the same meaning as above. . the groups Ria to R15 may be the same or different, and may be a linear or branched C1-C6 alkyl group, or the groups R13 and R14 may form a ring of 3 to 12 carbon atoms such as a cyclopropane or an adamantylene. Other thermally stable photochromic agents These photochromic compounds are changing appearance compounds, for example from a colorless or colorless form to a colored form, by a mechanism controlled by light irradiation. The mechanism can be direct, in the sense that the light changes its appearance. for example, passes from the colorless form to the colored form. This is for example the case of compounds carrying a function called photodegradable or photodetachable (English photorelease). Preferably, compounds whose photodegradable or photodetachable function is inert with respect to keratin materials are used.

Preferably, a compound is used whose photodegradable or photodetachable function is immobilized or carried by a polymer or other solid or mass structure. For example, the 3-5dimethoxybenzoyl function and the colored products as described in the article can be used: McCoy P, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2007, 129, 9572 The aforementioned mechanism can also be indirect, in the sense that the light passes the compound, for example initially colorless, in another form, then a third action transforms this compound thus colorless modified in a form of different appearance, for example colored. The mechanism is also indirect when a third action acts differently on the unmodified compound and on the modified compound, and that for example the unmodified compound is transformed and changes its appearance, for example becomes colored, while the Modified compound retains its appearance, by colorless couple. For example, it is possible to use the principle of diazotype, which involves a diazonium salt compound and another aromatic compound capable of reacting by coupling reaction. Irradiation destroys the diazonium salt (nitrogen release). The diazonium compound which has not been irradiated then reacts with a simple jump of pH (in the presence of ammonia for example) with the coupler to give an azo compound. In this case, unstained diazonium salt compounds will be selected, such as, for example, an aromatic having the diazonium function but not involving the amine or hydroxyl functional cycle. A single aromatic amine can be used as a coupler such as an aniline or phenol derivative.

It is then the non-irradiated parts which are revealed, according to the reaction: OH or NRR +. The photochromic agent (s) used can become thermally stable as soon as they are revealed or only after a specific action has been exerted. for example the bringing into contact with chemical compounds conferring the desired thermal stability. The thermally stable photochromic composition may contain, by weight, a total of 0.001 to 20% of photochromic agent (s), in particular of a thermally stable photochromic agent (s). The photochromic composition may additionally contain any solvent suitable for application in cosmetics, and especially chosen from those mentioned in patent EP 938 887. The composition may comprise the ingredients listed in paragraphs 10 [0029] to [0041] of EP 0 938 887 Al., The list of which is hereby incorporated by reference. Thermally stable photochromic composition with reduced sensitivity The thermally stable photochromic composition can include at least one optical agent reducing its sensitivity to UV or near UV radiation. The thermally stable photochromic composition may in particular comprise one or more optical agents in an amount sufficient for its filtering power F, as defined below, to be greater than or equal to 2, or even 5, 10, 15 or 20. Filtering power A protocol similar to that used to determine SPF is used, with the difference that the erythema response of the skin is not taken into account. The composition of which it is desired to know the filtering power at a rate of 1.2 mg / cm 2 on a sandblasted PMMA (without UV filter) 5cm by 5cm. 3mm thick. roughness 4.5 m, from EUROPLAST company. The plates are pre-treated with a deposit of 10 lmg of petrolatum 145B. The composition may be deposited into 14 product pads and spreading for 20 seconds on the finger by zigzagging by rotating the plate one-quarter turn every 5 sec. After plating, there remains 0.6 mg / cm 2 of product. 20 mm is expected for drying and then a new spreading is performed. A spectroradiometer (for example integrating sphere of the Labsphere UV mark transmittance analyzer) is used which measures the diffuse transmittance from 290mm to 400mm. Each transmission value T (2) is recorded. T (?) Is the ratio, for a given wavelength irradiation 2, of the light energy transmitted on the incident light energy. It is measured 5 times per plate (by moving the plates) and averaged of these 5 measures. We do the operation on 5 plates. The averages of the averages are measured. The filtering power F with respect to the solar UV radiation (290 to 400 nm) is given by the ratio of the following two integrals: ## EQU1 ## 1.

where I (?) is a function representing the occurrence of each wavelength of the solar spectrum. I (?) Is the same as that used for the calculation of SPF in vitro in the publication COLIPA GUIDELINES Edition of 2007 A METHOD FOR THE IN VITRO

DETERMINATION OF UVA PROTECTION PROVIDED BY SUNSCREEN PRODUCTS. If F = 1, then the composition is not filtering. By shielding the wavelength radiation 2, it should be understood that the optical agent attenuates by at least one attenuation factor of 2 wavelength 2, radiation. the measurement being carried out by means of a device able to measure the

Absorption spectrum by restricting the irradiation light to an area of length I (2) c / 2 wave), + 10 nm. The ratio F rio io with 1 (2) and T (2) such that io +10 + iol (2) T (2) d / 1 defined above, gives the attenuation factor at wavelength 2, .

The thermally stable photochromic composition can have at least one wavelength range P in a range X1 to X where the irradiation is less

Filtered, the filtering power in this range being on average Fu22 with F / Fa, 1J.2> 2, preferably F / F2.1.a 2> 5. The width of the range P may be less than 80 nm, and preferably at 40 nm.

is defined by: ## EQU1 ## and measured as described above, replacing terminals 290 and 400 by X1 and X.2, with 22> X1. The thermally stable photochromic composition may comprise. if necessary, an evolutionary dye, for example a dye whose color is revealed over time and if possible slowly, for example DHA or polyphenols, able to stain gradually in contact with the air. The thermally stable photochromic composition comprises, for example, a dye which takes longer than 1/2 h to be 90%. The interest of such a dye may be to develop a filtering power once the light-sensitive makeup performed, for example to delay the degradation of the light-sensitive makeup patterns under the effect of ambient lighting. Second layer acting as an activator of an optical agent present in the first layer In an exemplary implementation of the invention, a first layer is constituted by the thermally stable photochromic composition and contains an optical agent in a form partially or totally deactivated or in the precursor state. This deactivated or precursor form agent does not yet have sufficient activity to protect the light-sensitive makeup result. The application of a second layer makes it possible, after the light-sensitive makeup, to activate the deactivated optical agent or to bring the precursor in its effective optical form to form a screen for the revealing radiation of the thermally stable photochromic composition. For example, the optical agent may, in a precursor form in one of the layers, be a dye of the class of porphyrins, made more active by the presence in the other layer of a salt in solution, for example a salt of zinc, iron or magnesium. Galenic Forms The thermally stable photochromic composition can occur depending on the applications and the nature of its constituents in various galenic forms. The thermally stable photochromic composition according to the invention contains an acceptable cosmetic medium, that is to say a medium compatible with all keratin materials such as the skin. nails, hair, eyelashes and eyebrows, mucous membranes and seri-mucous membranes, and any other skin area of the body and face. Said medium may comprise or be in the form of, in particular, a suspension, a dispersion, a solution in a solvent or hydroalcoholic medium, optionally thickened or even gelled; an oil-in-water, water-in-oil, or multiple emulsion; a gel or a mousse; an emulsified gel; a spray; a loose powder, compact or cast; an anhydrous paste; a movie. among others. Treated areas All body parts usually made up can receive a light-sensitive makeup according to the invention. for example nails, eyelashes, hair, skin. and in particular that of the face, for example the cheeks, the forehead, the contour of the eyes or the lips, the neck, the bust or the legs. You can also treat rarely made up body parts such as ears, hands or teeth. These areas have complex geometries, which does not facilitate the precise application of conventional makeup products. The light-sensitive makeup can make it possible to obtain aesthetic results, despite the complexity of the geometries. The light-sensitive makeup can be used to camouflage a skin defect.

The light-sensitive makeup may optionally include a pattern of a garment or accessory worn by the user, for example a pattern on a jewel, a handbag, glasses, shoes, a piece of furniture, a PDA or a mobile phone. Where appropriate, the sale of such a garment or accessory may be accompanied by the provision of a file or an internet link making it possible to carry out a light-sensitive makeup in accordance with the accessory or the garment. The file or the internet link may give access to the data necessary for the production of an image that has been designed or selected to marry harmoniously with the garment or accessory. For example, it takes all or part of the reasons or completes it.

Such a device may be autonomous or integrated with a device for conditioning or applying the thermally stable photochromic composition, or even for a device for packaging or applying a photoprotective composition. The information delivered by the warning device may also be useful. where appropriate, to select a thermally stable photochromic composition. photoprotective and / or serving as a base layer among many, depending on the level of UV radiation. As mentioned above, the thermally stable photochromic composition can, depending on the case, be applied to the fully disclosed or undisclosed state. The thermally stable photochromic composition and the one intended to form the coating layer or the base layer or the photoprotective layer may be in various forms, for example creams, gels, liquids, in the form of compositions to be spread by hand. or through an applicator, for example ball. The application can be made by moving a block of composition in contact with keratin materials, such as a stick of lipstick for example. The composition can also be applied by spraying using an aerosol can, a pump bottle or an electrostatic, piezoelectric or airbrush spraying device.

The composition may be a dry product, such as a powder, which can be applied with a brush or a brush if necessary. When the photochromic composition is intended to be applied in the disclosed state. it may be contained in a packaging and application device as illustrated in FIG. 16. comprising a container 1000 containing the composition. a light source 1010 emitting for example in the UV, to reveal the composition and an application means, for example an applicator brush 1020. Light-sensitive makeup system The light-sensitive makeup can be produced using a system for making light-sensitive makeup 1 comprising as illustrated schematically in FIG. 1, an irradiator 3 comprising at least one light source 2. The imager may, depending on the case, serve to reveal the thermally stable photochromic composition, for example by passing the photochromic agent (s) it contains an undisclosed state in the disclosed state and / or serve to clear the photochromic agent (s) contained in the thermally stable photochromic composition from a revealed state to an undisclosed state. When the composition is initially in the non-revealed state, the irradiator may for example emit in the UV or the near UV when the thermally stable photochromic composition is detectable by UV radiation or in the near UV.

The image may be defined by a mask or a negative disposed on the path of light to the area to be treated, possibly in contact with the area to be treated. The irradiator preferably comprises one or more imagers 4 making it possible to form at least one image remotely over the zone to be treated Z. The imager (s) can, in a simplified version, use a mask or a negative and a projection optics on the area to be treated. The negative may be a UV negative, allowing the formation of an image in UV light or near UV. The source 2 may comprise any type of light element, for example incandescent lamp, halogen lamp, discharge lamp and / or electroluminescent element, in particular one or more LEDs, OLEDs or other electroluminescent technologies. The irradiator 3 may comprise, as will be detailed below, several sources in order to emit on the one hand UV or near UV and on the other hand in the visible, especially out of the near UV.

Advantageously, the irradiator comprising the light source (s) and the at least one imager may emit selectively in the UV or the near UV and the visible range. The passage from an image projection in visible light to an image projection in UV light can be done by a source change, thanks for example to a mobile mirror, to the use of a semi-transparent surface, the addition or removal of a filter and / or the use of a frequency doubler or tripler. The use of visible light may allow, as will be detailed later. to see the projected image on the area to be treated before achieving the revelation and / or to regress the light-sensitive makeup of an area already revealed at least partially, when the one or more photochromic agents allow it. The system for processing light-sensitive makeup may comprise, as illustrated in FIG. 1, a calculator 10, which may be associated with a user interface 11, comprising, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a touch screen, a speech recognition engine. a graphics tablet, a joystick and / or a touch pad, this list is not limiting.

The computer 10 may comprise a microcomputer and, more generally, any means of calculation, analog and / or digital, realized using, for example, microcontrollers, microprocessors and / or programmable logic networks. The computer 10 can be made in the form of one or more devices and in the case of the use of an electronic imager, the latter can if necessary carry out all the calculations or a part thereof. The computer 10 may also be associated with a display means 12 which is for example a color screen, for example LCD, plasma, OLED or cathode, possibly touch. This visualization means 12 can be used to, as detailed below, display the treated area being processed, make it possible to control the processing and / or display a simulation.

The computer 10 may also be associated with a data storage means 13, for example a hard disk, magnetic tape, optical disk and / or flash memory, the data storage means being able to be integrated into the computer 10, to the irradiator 3 and / or at least partially deported within an external data storage system. The computer 10 may be associated with a network interface 14 which may allow, for example, to download useful data to the light-sensitive makeup or to transmit to third parties or to a server data concerning a light-sensitive makeup in progress or carried out.

The computer 10 may advantageously control, where appropriate, the source or sources producing the light used to form the image, so that the image is formed with a predefined illuminant. The imager is advantageously an addressable matrix electronic imager. as described below, to which the computer can send data to cause the projection on the Z zone to be processed of a predefined image. The system for processing light-sensitive makeup may be provided with at least one optical and / or electronic system making it possible to focus the image, manually or automatically, and advantageously means making it possible to avoid the movements.

To immobilize the zone being treated relative to the irradiator. the system for processing light-sensitive makeup may include means for immobilizing the person, making it possible to avoid the movements and the fuzzy results. When the image is formed on a face, the system for processing the light-sensitive makeup may be configured to detect that the face is at rest, and to control the imager according to this detection. The system for processing light-sensitive makeup 1 may comprise a flat part or able to conform to the shape of a part of the body and this part may be pressed onto the area to be treated. The system for processing light-sensitive makeup may, alternatively or additionally, comprise a motion correction system, of the same type for example as those used to stabilize the images in cameras or cameras. When the face is treated, the system for processing light-sensitive makeup may include means 8 for immobilizing the person to be treated, in the form of a chin strap. as illustrated in FIG. 2. As a variant, the irradiator 3 is portable and can be fixed on a frame carried by the person to be treated, in order to illuminate an area of the face for example. The system for processing light-sensitive makeup 1 may comprise an optical acquisition device 16 which can. in an exemplary implementation of the invention, transmit data to the computer 10 so that the latter can provide a light-sensitive makeup and / or control the realization of it, as will be detailed below. The optical acquisition device 16 may advantageously have a line of sight substantially parallel to the projection direction of the image. The optical acquisition device may be monopixel or multipixel, and directly receive the light emitted by the imager or receive the light reflected by the Z zone to be treated. The optional optical acquisition device, the irradiator, the possible computer and the possible display screen may be made as separate elements or integrated in the same housing. The irradiator and the optical acquisition device may advantageously be integrated in the same housing or be made integral in displacement otherwise. The display screen can be attached to the back of the case of the irradiator or integrated in the case. If desired, the optical acquisition device includes internal illumination means for close-up acquisition. The case of the irradiator can still be mobile and be applied to the skin, for example. or be held by hand. In an exemplary implementation of the invention, the housing of the irradiator can be placed, for example on a table. In this case, we can approach the face to put it on the case, leaning for example. The system for processing light-sensitive makeup may be provided with means for detecting the opening or closing of the eyes and / or the mouth, in order to stop or not to start the irradiation in case of opening of the eyes and / or the mouth. The optical acquisition device 16 can provide an image which is analyzed for this purpose by the computer 10. When the image is formed on a face, the light-sensitive makeup system can be configured to identify the face and the imager can be ordered based at least on this identification. The system for processing light-sensitive makeup is advantageously designed to enable the user to evaluate, visually or otherwise, the evolution of the light-sensitive makeup. For this purpose, the system for processing light-sensitive makeup may comprise a window 25 allowing direct visualization of the treated zone during irradiation, this visualization possibly taking place through a UV filter. In order to leave room for direct visualization, the emission of light can be done from a remote location and can be used to drive the light and focus the light rays on the area to be treated, optical fibers or at least a mirror or a prism, for example. A light-sensitive makeup system is shown partially and schematically in FIG. 3, which comprises two imagers 4a and 4b, respectively emitting UV and visible lights, towards the zone Z to be treated. A window 403 is provided between these imagers 4a and 4b, to allow observation of the zone Z during processing. The viewing zone can be further removed by means of a mirror 404 or any other optical system, for example an optical fiber or a prism, as shown in FIG. 4. In the presence of an optical acquisition device such as a camera video or a digital camera, the viewing of the treated area Z can be done on a screen that can be placed on the irradiator or be deported.In Figure 5, there is illustrated the possibility of making the irradiator 3 by deporting with the aid of mirrors 18 the light beam directed towards the zone Z to be treated, which may allow the user to observe the zone Z treated through a window 20 of the irradiator. the possibility of producing the irradiator 3 with two light sources 2a and 2b emitting respectively in the UV and the visible is illustrated, The irradiator shown in FIG. 6 comprises a colored filter 302, for example green, placed in front of the rce 2b, an adjustable collimation optics 303 and a movable mirror 304. The irradiator 3 allows in this example to place a negative 308 on the optical path. The adjustable collimation optics 303 makes it possible to display the image of the negative at a certain distance from the optical output of the irradiator 3, for example about twenty centimeters.

The irradiator 3 is provided with two switches 306 and 307. The first activates the sources 2a and 2b. The movable mirror 304 is arranged so that only the visible light irradiation is directed to the optical output for a given position of the second switch. The actuation of the latter moves the moving mirror, for example by actuating a micromotor or an electromagnet, and the UV irradiation is then directed towards the negative 308. The system for processing light-sensitive makeup advantageously comprises, as mentioned above, a matrix electronic imager. addressable. Addressable Matrix Electronic Imager An addressable matrix imager makes it possible to project a pixellated image whose resolution is for example greater than 10 by 10 pixels and preferably greater than 10 by 100 pixels.

When the imager is an addressable matrix electronic imager, the image formed on the area to be treated is formed of pixels that are turned on or off, possibly each in a predefined gray level. By way of example, FIG. 2A shows a detail of FIG. 2, in which the light-sensitive makeup film P which is produced consists of an outline of the lips. FIG. 2A shows the location of the different pixels of the projected image, only the pixels corresponding to the contour to be produced having been lit. The revelation of the thermally stable photochromic composition is in correspondence with the state of the pixels. The light emerging from the addressable matrix imager may be monochromatic or multichromatic, and preferably the addressable matrix imager is capable of selectively emitting on the one hand in the UV or the near UV and on the other hand in the visible off. the near UV, the light emitted in the visible may be white light or a colored light, possibly monochromatic. The calculator 10 can determine the digital image on the basis of which the electronic imager is controlled, in particular the gray level of each pixel. and possibly the dominant wavelength of the light at each pixel. The addressable matrix imager can be realized on the basis of several technologies.

It is possible to use the so-called Digital Light Proccessing (DLP) technology invented by TEXAS INSTRUMENTS, which uses a DMD (Digital Micromiror Device) chip composed of thousands of micromirrors that can be individually controlled in orientation under the effect of an electrical pulse. and can reflect or not according to their orientation an incident light beam to return or not to the optical output of the imager. The image to be projected is formed on the matrix of mirrors. The gray levels of each pixel (for example the number of 256 levels) can be controlled by acting on the duty cycle. FIG. 7 represents an exemplary embodiment of an electronic imager 4 produced according to this technology, using a DMD chip referenced 111. This latter can be fixed on a plate 112 which can furthermore comprise a processor 113 for controlling the chip, as well as than possibly a memory 114. In the illustrated example. the chip is represented on the same plate as the processor 113 and the memory 114. but these can be arranged otherwise. The imager 4 shown in FIG. 7 receives light from a source 2 which can be a source that can emit both in the UV and / or in the visible or a source 5 that can emit selectively in the visible or in the UV. The source 2 may be a halogen lamp with emission in the UV and visible spectra, a discharge lamp or one or more LEDs capable of emitting for example in the UV and in white light or in a given color. Imager 4 may comprise, as illustrated, optics 118, 119 and 120, respectively for condensing light. focus on the DMD chip and focus on the area to be treated. When the source 2 has a spectrum of emission both in the UV and in the visible, the imager 4 may comprise, as illustrated, a filter wheel 30, which intersects the light beam for example between the optics The chip receives, according to the position of the filter wheel 130, a UV light or a visible light, which is then directed towards the optical output. It is thus possible to form an image on the area to be treated selectively in visible light and / or in the UV. The irradiator according to the variant of FIG. 8, uses several DMD chips fixed on a prism which divides the incident light coming from the source 2 into at least two beams having different dominant wavelengths, for example respectively in FIG. UV or the near UV and in the visible. The light beams reflected by the DMD chips are projected to the area to be treated. By driving the DMD chip associated with the UV or near-UV beam and that associated with the visible light beam, it is possible to project on the zone to be treated either a UV light or a visible light, or possibly both at the same time. can be useful when the revelation is relatively slow, in order to visually control the proper positioning of the light used for the revelation. The irradiator can still use the so-called LCD technology. In the example of FIG. 9, the source 2 is directed on dichroic mirrors 125 which generate at least two light beams of different dominant wavelengths. one of these beams having for example a dominant wavelength in the UV or the near UV and the other in the visible. The beams are directed by mirrors 125 and 126 to LCD matrix screens 127 on which the image to be projected is formed, which produces monochrome images to a prism system 128 which allows the image to be returned by the intermediate projection optics 120 to the surface to be treated. Depending on the degree of opacity of the screens 127, the light emitted is a light in the visible or in the UV. The irradiator 3 illustrated in FIG. 10 comprises a screen 132 with an LCD matrix, and a source 2 which illuminates the screen 132. The image formed on the latter is projected, thanks to the projection optics 120, on the zone treat. The source 2 is for example capable of emitting selectively in the UV or in the visible. The screen 132 may also, in one variant, replace the negative 308 of the example of FIG. 6. The projection system may again be based on the so-called LCOS liquid crystal-on-silicon technology. The LCD technology is said to be transmissive since the light passes through an LCD screen whereas the DLP technology is said to be reflective because the light is reflected by the micromirrors of the DMD chip. In LCOS technology, the mirrors of the DMD chips are replaced by a reflective surface covered with a layer of liquid crystals, which can be switched between an on state and a blocking state. By modulating the opening and closing frequency of the liquid crystals, the gray level of a pixel can be varied. The arrangements illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8 can be used, for example. by replacing the DMD chips with LCOS chips. Figure 10A shows an LCOS chip irradiator. A lens system 901 may be disposed between the source 2, for example a UV lamp and a semitransparent mirror 903. This mirror reflects light from the source to the chip 900. The latter reflects the light again towards a light source. focusing 120, which projects the pixelated image on the area to be treated. In general, the image delivered by the addressable matrix imager comprises an array of pixels whose gray levels are individually addressable. each gray level being for example coded on at least 4 bits, better 8 bits. The light associated with each pixel can also be coded, if necessary.

The image to be projected can be supplied to the electronic imager in the form of video signal VGA, SVGA, composite, HDMI, SVIDEO, YCBCR, optical. among other standards, or in the form of an image or video computer file, for example .jpeg..pdf, .ppt, ... On these images, when they are not monochrome, a predefined color on the image in the file can control the level of UV or near UV, for example. The electronic imager is advantageously designed to be able to change the nature of the emitted light without changing the image; for example, the pixels of the image retain their gray levels and only the emission spectrum of the source used upstream changes. This can make it possible to visualize an image on the zone to be treated and then to reveal it, simply by modifying the emission spectrum of the source. The imager can be used to project visible light to selectively erase one or more photochromic agents and to make a light-sensitive makeup from a layer of thermally stable photochromic composition in the revealed state. In this case, the imager is for example a conventional video projector.

Choice of the Projected Image Especially when using an addressable electronic imager, the system for processing light-sensitive makeup is preferably equipped with a means for choosing the projected image. This can be done through a choice in an image library. possibly with a scrolling of several images of this library and selection by the user of a displayed image. The images can be stored in digitized or photographic form, for example in the data storage means. The image library can be included in the light-sensitive makeup system or be downloadable. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a custom-made image is used from the person intended to receive the light-sensitive makeup, or from a model such as a celebrity or a person of a given aesthetic, the images being able to come from people who have not been made up or made up. You can also use images from drawings, tables, sketches or caricatures to generate the projected image. The calculator may have in memory or may load at least one pictorial model, for example in the form of a line or a colored key. even a simple point or a series of lines, keys or points.

The image formed can be determined automatically according to the acquired image. This can make it possible to adapt the projected image to the morphology and / or the color of the face. The calculator can, starting from the position of the captured face. correctly position the image intended to produce the light-sensitive makeup. The system for processing light-sensitive makeup can thus be used in a process comprising the steps of: acquiring at least one image of the zone to be made up by the subject. - order the imager according to the image thus acquired. The acquisition of the image is effected for example by means of the optical acquisition device 16, which may be adapted to capture all or part of the face, or any other area of the body treated. For example, to make a light-sensitive makeup on the upper eyelids. the following steps can be implemented: 15 - capture the image of the face, deduce the area of the eyelids. the thermally stable photochromic composition having been applied to the area of the eyelids, irradiating the pictorial model to be produced at the very location of the eyelid zone; thus, the resulting light-sensitive makeup is formed at the right place. The irradiation at the location of the area to be treated can be done by lighting only the corresponding pixels. in the case where the image is likely to cover in case of ignition of all the pixels a much larger area. In order to benefit from the best resolution. the treated area may concern for example at least 2/3 of the total number of pixels of the image. The calculator can also change the shape of the pictorial model to fit the shape of the face. Thus, for example, if it is desired to make a make-up of the lips, the following steps can be implemented: capturing the image of the face, deducing the area from the lips, comparing the shape of the lips with the pictorial model to be reproduced . modify the pictorial model so that it fits into the shape of the lips, a thermally stable photochromic composition having been applied to the lips, irradiating them to achieve the pictorial model thus modified. This method can also be applied to other areas of the body.

Thus, the system for processing light-sensitive makeup may be endowed with the following four functions: capturing the image of the face or any other region of the body to be treated, stalling the positioning of the pictorial model to be made on the part of the face or the body to receive it , and this by analyzing the image of the face or any other part to be treated, - optionally, modify the shape of the pictorial model to adapt it to the shape of the face, - order the projection of the image intended to make the light-sensitive makeup .

The system for processing light-sensitive makeup may include means for acquiring the 3D shape of the face. The system for processing light-sensitive makeup may comprise an optical acquisition device adapted to detect the relief, for example by projecting fringes. and / or adapted to detect gloss. In an exemplary implementation of the invention, the pictorial model used is determined automatically. This choice can be made randomly or following a programmed logic, intended to optimize by rules the aesthetics of the face. to respect for example a logic of harmony of colors or a logic of natural harmony of the face. Thus, for example, for a face of red complexion, it is possible to achieve freckles.

The choice can also be made following a symmetry restoration logic for the faces having asymmetries and / or according to a logic of shadows and lights, by which one can make more round a face too angular or the opposite, or rectify unattractive or unnatural proportions. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the system for processing light-sensitive makeup proposes several pictorial models, leaving the user free to select one. The expression of these propositions can be done graphically. for example by displaying on a screen. The pictorial model proposed may be superimposed on an image of the subject intended to receive the light-sensitive makeup, or the latter may be displayed on a screen describing the face by a diagram. Any interface allowing the user to select a pictorial model can be used. For example, the description of a pictorial model proposed to the user can be done verbally, by describing the actions that the system for processing light-sensitive makeup proposes to perform.

The system for processing the light-sensitive makeup may be configured to automatically detect a skin defect on the area to be treated and the imager may be controlled according to the nature of the detected defect. The system for processing light-sensitive makeup may be provided with special recognition functions, for example to recognize defects, for example: spots, blackheads, pimples, wine stains, rednesses, wrinkles, cracks, stretch marks, veins, intaglio reliefs or bump, such as scars, - asymmetries, desquamation, matte skin or shiny skin, - hair. Defects can be detected by image analysis and / or relief. The image analysis can be a 3D image analysis. The image analysis may include color and / or gloss analysis. The system for processing light-sensitive makeup may also be provided with functions making it possible to calculate or choose a pictorial model intended to limit the visibility of these defects. Among these pictorial models, there may be mentioned those intended to blur certain parts detected as having defects, and those intended to redraw certain parts, in the case in particular of scars or asymmetries. In another example of implementation of the invention, the user or a third party can define the pictorial model to achieve. So. the user or the third person can send commands that will be interpreted by the system of light-sensitive makeup. These commands can be graphical and the system for processing light-sensitive makeup can comprise a human-machine interface of the touch screen type. The user sends the makeup orders by designating on the image of the face or on a face diagram the areas on which he wants to make a make-up line. The system for processing the light-sensitive makeup may be configured to interpret the instructions of the user, to adapt them to the topography of the face and then to carry out the light-sensitive makeup.

The commands can be descriptions, for example "filling the lip area in red" or being intuitive, for example "eyelid makeup". The system will then interpret, in a conventional way or specifically programmed, that it must adopt a pictorial model by default. Commands can be programmed and programs can be customized.

Whoever chooses from the pictorial models proposed or who determines the pictorial models to realize can be the person who makes up, or another person, as a professional make-up artist. The choice or the elaboration of the pictorial models can be done in the same place as that where the light-sensitive make-up takes place, or at a distance. In the latter case, the system for processing light-sensitive makeup may be provided with a communication means making it possible to communicate the image of the zone to be treated, for example the network interface 14 mentioned above. The system for processing light-sensitive makeup may optionally be provided with means for capturing make-up from magazines or other supports and making them pictorial models that it can subsequently reproduce on the area to be treated, for example a scanner or an RFID chip reader, the chip containing the description of the make-up or an internet link enabling it to be downloaded. This chip may be contained in a package containing the composition (s) to be used to make the light-sensitive makeup or be contained in a clothing article or other accessory having a particular pattern, which may be reproduced by light-sensitive makeup.

The system for processing light-sensitive makeup can be configured to scroll through all kinds of pictorial models, in the form of simulations, in order to allow a person to choose from among them the model to be produced. The system of light-sensitive makeup can offer the opportunity to quickly try all kinds of models, directly on the face. So, the person can realize, in real version. the adequacy of this or these models on it. These models may be images projected in visible light on the face, which do not reveal the thermally stable photochromic composition, or photomaquillages made using the thermally stable and erasable photochromic composition, for example by irradiation in visible light.

The system for processing light-sensitive makeup may advantageously have in memory in the storage means 13 several pre-recorded models and memorize the pictorial models that it has been able to produce. In this way, the user can use or exchange saved pictorial templates. In an exemplary implementation of the invention, once a pictorial model retained. the adaptation of the pictorial model to the topography of the person's face and the realization of the light-sensitive makeup by projection of the image are performed automatically. The time between the capture of the face and the realization of the image can be made relatively short, for example less than a second. In another example of implementation of the invention, the person receiving the light-sensitive makeup or a third person can intervene during the course of operations.

In this case, the makeup may be slower than before. The system for processing the light-sensitive makeup may be configured so as to enable the person or the third person to visualize the progress of the light-sensitive makeup, for example on the screen 12, in order to slow down or stop its progress. The system for light-sensitive makeup may optionally recapture the face in order to repeat the adjustment and adaptation of the pictorial model to the face, thus eliminating the possible problems that could cause the movements of the person during the irradiation to reveal the composition thermally stable photochromic. Several successive partial photomasquillages can be carried out. Thus, it is possible to determine, as and when the light-sensitive makeup takes place, each pictorial model. estimate with the eye its rendering, then to choose the following pictorial model and so on, thus gradually building the light-sensitive makeup. As mentioned above, the system for processing light-sensitive makeup can be configured to evaluate, by means of one or more specialized programs, the pictorial models most adapted to a face or a part of a face. Thus, the light-sensitive makeup can be done by producing a first pictorial model, then by evaluating a second time the face to deduce the new pictorial model to achieve, and so on. It is possible to treat one part of the face semi-automatically and another automatically. It is also possible to treat part of the face automatically up to a certain point, then to continue semi-automatically the light-sensitive makeup, or vice versa.

The system for processing light-sensitive makeup can be configured to take an image. for example using the aforementioned optical acquisition device, possibly extract a portion corresponding to the area to be treated, and allow to rectify if necessary this image to improve the rendering once projected.

The light-sensitive makeup system used is preferably configured to allow the user, from an image projected on the face or on any other area to be treated, to rectify its shape, for example by enlarging, shrinking, in one or two dimensions. The changes can also be more complex. Thus, one can for example correct a part of the image, stretch a particular area, change the size of the lines ... In this, one can use the tools usually present in software for making and image editing, such as as Photoshop for example. The retouching of the image can be carried out, if necessary, thanks to a return of information by the optical acquisition device. the computer can know the rendering of the projected image and automatically modify it to achieve the desired result, when performing a soft loop by the system of light-sensitive makeup. Progressive realization of the light-sensitive makeup The light-sensitive makeup can implement the steps consisting in: applying a thermally stable photochromic composition to an area to be treated, irradiating the zone with a light chosen to gradually reveal the thermally stable photochromic composition, respectively to gradually erase the composition photorévélable thermally stable, - interrupt and / or modify characteristics of the irradiation when the desired aspect is achieved, this aspect corresponding for example to a partial revelation of the thermally stable photochromic composition, respectively a partial erasure of the thermally stable photochromic composition . It is thus easier to obtain metered intensity makeup results. During progressive illumination, the user and / or the light-sensitive makeup system can monitor the progress of the light-sensitive makeup and can stop its progress when the desired result is reached.

One can even proceed, if the thermally stable photochromic composition allows, retouching to further refine the light-sensitive makeup. either at the time of the light-sensitive makeup or later. The irradiation can be interrupted and then restarted at least once.

The dominant wavelength and / or the intensity of the irradiation can be modified before the desired aspect is achieved. For example, by modifying the intensity of the irradiation, it is possible to influence the rate of revelation or erasure of the thermally stable photochromic composition. By acting on the dominant wavelength, it is possible to act on the energy of the irradiation and / or on the effect exerted on the photochromic agent (s). The entire image can be processed progressively, but it is also possible to process the image portion by portion in a progressive manner, for example automatically. programmed or programmable. The light-sensitive makeup can be used to create several patterns successively. At least one pattern having attained the desired appearance may cease to be irradiated while at least one other pattern is still irradiated. The patterns are for example freckles, which can be created successively. Thus, a specific program can be executed to achieve freckles, as shown in Figure 13. The program can reveal the spots. through appropriate gradual irradiation, either from the center of the zone to the outside of the zone (FIGS. 13A to 13C), or from a sparse distribution to a dense distribution (FIGS. 14A to 14C), or from a distribution of small spots to a distribution of large spots, either randomly (not shown). The irradiation can be sufficiently weak not to bring about a significant revelation in the moment following its release. In order to allow a sufficiently slow revelation, the energy E of the irradiation for one second may be less than or equal to 0.5 Eo, better 0.2 Eo, where E0 is the energy required for one second to reveal 80% of the thermally stable photochromic composition. We can have E <0.2 Eo. It is believed that 80% of the thermally stable photochromic composition was revealed when the color difference AE with the undisclosed state is 80% of the maximum attainable color difference.

Similarly. when it is a question of erasing, the energy E 'of the irradiation during a second may be less than or equal to 0.5 E'o, where E'o is the energy required for one second to erase at 80% thermally stable photochromic composition. We can have E '0.2 E'o.

The system for processing light-sensitive makeup may be configured to analyze the color of the area to be treated. then the result of this analysis can be used to automatically control the irradiation. For example, the color can be analyzed after the application of the thermally stable photochromic composition and before the desired appearance is achieved. This can for example automatically stop the light-sensitive makeup when the desired appearance is achieved. The measurement of the color can be done for example by analyzing the color of the pixels of an image formed on the treated area. The system for processing light-sensitive makeup can be configured to perform an analysis of predefined regions of the image and the irradiation can be controlled by varying the intensity of the irradiation in different areas observed, depending on the color in the regions. corresponding. When irradiation is carried out with an addressable matrix imager. for this purpose it is possible to precisely control the irradiation into multiple pixels of the treated area. Irradiation can be constant or variable. In particular, it can be quite strong for a given time. said upgrade, and then be weakened for a refining phase.

The system for processing light-sensitive makeup can be programmed to deliver the irradiation by saccades. For example, constant irradiation, followed by a downtime. for example of a duration less than or equal to 30s, and so on. The user can stop the process when he considers that he is satisfied. In the case where the user stops the irradiation himself and then starts again, the irradiation may be slow enough to allow the user to see the color evolve, the irradiation evolving for example at a speed less than or equal to at 3 E units per second in the CIE Lab space, for example about 2 E units per second. When the intensity of the irradiation is adjustable, the system for processing light-sensitive makeup may be provided with a control member to act on the speed and / or the amplitude of the decrease or increase of the irradiation, for example a button, sensor, joystick. voice-activated interface or control pad, to influence the intensity of the irradiation. especially upstream of the imager. According to examples of implementation of the invention, the user can stop or slow down the irradiation as desired and in order to reflect and / or observe the result.

It can be provided that the irradiation can be done according to the implementation by the system of light-sensitive makeup of an irradiation program and that the user can either interrupt or pause the program running, or pass from one program to another. The program making it possible to define the evolution of the irradiation over time can be defined or parameterized by the user to adjust, for example, the rates of increase or decrease of the irradiation. Increasing or decreasing the intensity of the irradiation may not cause a change in the shape or extent of the image. Thus, it is possible to use for modulating the irradiation of electrical and / or optical systems acting on the luminous flux produced, for example at least one filter, diaphragm and / or polarizer, and / or an electric power converter for controlling the source. The intensity of the irradiation can also depend on the gray level of the pixels of the image. The system for processing light-sensitive makeup may be configured to automatically determine a progressive illumination program depending on the light-sensitive makeup to be performed. For example, if the light-sensitive makeup on a given area consists of producing a rather unsaturated color, the system for processing light-sensitive makeup may propose and / or apply a program controlling a weak illumination. If the light-sensitive makeup on another area is to achieve an intense color. the system for processing light-sensitive makeup may propose and / or apply a program consisting in illuminating more strongly initially, and then subsequently illuminating less strongly. to allow the user to adjust in detail the completion of the light-sensitive makeup. The illumination performed initially can be with a fluence at least twice that applied thereafter. To determine the intensity of irradiation, the light-sensitive makeup system can be based on a dose calculation to be applied to reach the final light-sensitive makeup and apply a rule to deduce the illumination program. For example. if it calculates that it will take a dose of X J, it can quickly apply 80% of X (in one second for example) then apply the last 20% at a rate of 5% per second, for example.

As mentioned above, the light-sensitive makeup system may be provided with an optical acquisition device enabling it to measure the color of the skin or other keratin materials, either at the beginning of the irradiation or during the light-sensitive makeup process. He can use this information to calculate or modulate progressive illumination. For example, he can use this information to identify when he needs to slow down or stop the illumination. The sensor (s) of the optical acquisition device may be monochrome or polychrome, with a monopixel or multipixel measurement location. Information representative of the progress of the light-sensitive makeup can be transmitted to the user in various ways, for example by displaying a value representative of the color of the light-sensitive makeup or a value representative of the degree of completion of the process, for example in percentage. There may also be display on the screen of a color representing the measured color. Back The system for processing light-sensitive makeup can be used to progressively reduce the intensity of the light-sensitive makeup, to make disappear or regress one or more portions of the light-sensitive makeup, by virtue of an illumination enabling the photochromic agent (s) to be brought back into an undisclosed state. In this way, the user can go back, and better adjust the final rendering. The system for processing light-sensitive makeup is advantageously made in such a way that the user can stop backtracking when he wants it, restart the phototaixing, and so on. Regression of the light-sensitive makeup may be carried out for certain photochromic agents, for example chosen from dyarylethenes and fulgides, by replacing all or part of the UV illumination by a visible illumination, for example of white light. The system for processing light-sensitive makeup is preferentially configured so that this visible illumination extends at least on the same surface as the illumination IJV. The case of a thermally stable photochromic composition with multiple photochromic agents When the thermally stable photochromic composition comprises several photorevolable agents of maximum sensitivity at different respective wavelengths, one or more of these photochromic agents can be selectively revealed by varying the length wave. It is also possible to use a thermally stable photochromic composition with several different photochromic agents, in the already disclosed state, and being best erased at different respective wavelengths. If necessary, these photochromic agents can be revealed by the same UV light, but have wiping rates in the visible which vary according to the wavelength, so that by choosing this one can favor erasing one photochromic agent over another. As above, when the photochromic agents are detectable by UV light. these can be revealed with different speeds as a function of the wavelength in the UV range, and by playing on this UV wavelength, it is preferable to reveal a photochromic agent with respect to the others. Simulation of the evolution of the light-sensitive makeup In an exemplary implementation of the invention, the system for light-sensitive makeup is provided, in addition to or in replacement of a system for visualizing the evolution of the light-sensitive makeup, of a simulation system of the evolution of the light-sensitive makeup. The user can then observe, before and / or during the light-sensitive makeup, this simulation. and rely on it to decide whether to slow down or stop the light-sensitive makeup. see to go back. The light-sensitive makeup system can be configured to simulate the light-sensitive makeup result after applying the thermally stable photochromic composition and before the desired appearance is achieved. The progress of the simulation can be linked to the progress of the irradiation on the area to be treated. it serves to reveal the thermally stable photochromic composition or on the contrary to erase it. A simulation of the evolution of the appearance of the light-sensitive makeup can be displayed on a screen and / or projected on the treated area. when the irradiator used allows it. The simulation can be projected in a light that does not cause the thermally stable photochromic composition to be revealed, or its erasure, at least for a short period, the time for the observer to decide on the continuation of the treatment.

Use of tools When the system for processing light-sensitive makeup includes an electronic imager, the latter can be controlled according to a tool manipulated by the user, the calculator being able to modify the projected image and / or the intensity of the irradiation. function of a movement of the tool. The latter may include a portion to be positioned in front of or on the area to be treated or in front of or on a display screen of the area to be treated. The tool can also control the movement of a pointer on a display screen of the area to be treated or within the image formed on the area to be treated. The system for processing the light-sensitive makeup may be configured to enable the user to control particular areas that he wants to process with progressive irradiation, and to this end use a display means, which may comprise, for example, a touch screen by means of which The user can control, by pressing on a particular region of the screen, the progression of the irradiation. Even more preferably, the touch screen is sensitive to the intensity of the pressure exerted by the user. The system for processing light-sensitive makeup can analyze the pressure exerted on the screen and translate this pressure into a light-sensitive makeup intensity, by controlling the intensity of the light and / or the duration of the irradiation on the corresponding region of the zone to be treated. So, for example. greater pressure on the touch screen will result in increased color intensity. In an exemplary implementation of the invention, the system for processing light-sensitive makeup can detect a tool placed on or in front of the touch screen, with which the user can act on the light-sensitive makeup. For example. the user can have several tools each provided with an identification means, for example a barcode or an RFID chip, so as to be identified by the light-sensitive makeup system. When the user takes a particular tool, it is recognized and each tool can be associated by the light-sensitive makeup system to a particular type of make-up. For example, the user has several tools corresponding to more or less thick makeup strokes and / or color intensities greater or less, or even different makeup colors. The user takes the tool he wants and can move it on the image of the visualization means to change the makeup. A simulation of the makeup may appear on the display screen and after possible validation by the user, the makeup appearing on the display means may be automatically performed by light-sensitive makeup by controlling the irradiator. Adjustment and / or modification of the content of the image In an exemplary implementation of the invention, a light-sensitive makeup layer is revealed with the same simulation image as that projected in visible light. For this, the system for processing light-sensitive makeup may be configured to send an image to the area to be treated, for example the face, representing the simulation, leaving the user the option of stalling this image on the face, or even modifying it. Then, once the image is correctly adjusted and defined, it sends to the same area, through the same optics, or through a parallel optics, an image that may differ from the previous one only in that it is formed with UV light or in the near UV. In particular, the mask, negative or addressable pixel matrix used to define the image may not have been modified during the change of illuminant from visible light to UV light. To do this, we can use a system of light-sensitive makeup with a UV source and a visible source, with one or two imagers. If the image is obtained from a slide, the slide may be provided to allow an image to be made with the visible source and an image with the UV source. For this purpose, the slide can be made with a filter material for both UV light and visible light.

If the image is obtained with at least one addressable pixel matrix of an electronic imager, several configurations are possible: two light sources, namely a UV source and a visible source, and a single matrix; two light sources, respectively UV and visible, and two matrices. respectively UV and visible. The images are gathered, for example with an X-shaped prism or projected from locations located on both sides of the treated area; a light source emitting at the same time in the UV and in the visible and a UV or visible imager. with for example a dichroic mirror, a moving mirror or a filter for selecting outgoing radiation; a light source emitting at the same time in the UV and in the visible and two matrices respectively for the UV and for the visible one.

The projected image can be restricted to an outline at or a few reference points. The light-sensitive makeup made subsequently can be written between these points or this contour. For example, in the case of lip treatment, two reference points can be used. The user applies a layer of thermally stable photochromic composition. The two points are projected in a visible wavelength. unable to produce a light-sensitive makeup effect, for example with a wavelength between 450 and 800 nm, and preferably from 500 nm to 700 nm. The user positions these two points on the two commissures of the lips. Once the positioning is achieved, the UV irradiation forms a lip image between these two points.

During UV illumination, the visible image may be cut, reduced or limited to reference points, or left in the same state as during the visible projection phase. Use of the light-sensitive makeup to make a treatment pattern on the face and then use it to treat the area A photochromic agent, for example chosen from diarylethenes or fulgides, having a sufficient thermal stability for applying to the area to be treated is applied. image that is achieved can be maintained for at least 20 seconds, and preferably at least 1 minute. The pattern may be an image comprising dots and / or registration lines, as illustrated in FIG. 11, in which lines delimiting zones A. B and C produced by light-sensitive makeup are seen. Where appropriate, a light-sensitive makeup sign is produced. for example alphanumeric, informing the user on the product and / or the applicator to use in this area. The user can carry out makeup or other treatment depending on the pattern thus revealed. For this, he can use classic makeup tools.

The user can also use the pattern made by light-sensitive makeup to apply care products. For example. Diagnosis is made of the areas requiring particular care, for example by image analysis and / or with the aid of one or more sensors sensitive to the cutaneous state for example, and a mapping of the treatment to be performed is carried out. carry out. which can be memorized. Then we use the system of light-sensitive makeup to reveal a pattern on the face, where will be revealed in a colorful way at least temporarily areas requiring care. The user can then apply to the areas thus highlighted the care product or products. Positioning the reference points on the face, then using a device recognizing these points and using them to make the makeup The user can position reference points on the face by light-sensitive makeup. Once the reference points are placed on the area to be treated, it is possible to use an apparatus provided with means for reading the reference points, and preferably also capable of interpreting them if necessary. The apparatus may be provided, in an exemplary embodiment, with a multi-pixel sensor, an internal lighting, and an application means. for example an inkjet print head. The dots represent for example a line. The user moves the device on the skin, which is configured to optically analyze the surface. For example, assuming that the area to be treated is delimited by a closed contour, when the device determines that it crosses a line a first time, it starts to deposit a colored material, then when it crosses a line a second time he stops depositing the colored matter. The points can represent, when they are connected, a shape. The apparatus may be provided with means for recognizing these points and the corresponding form.

The apparatus can deposit a colored material so as to achieve this form. For that. the apparatus can start from a model that makes coincide with the points while realizing geometric rectifications. The deposition of colored matter can define a curve or a surface inscribed in a curve.

The coverage of the line and / or the surface may be homogeneous, randomly heterogeneous or geometrically heterogeneous, that is to say having a repetitive pattern. The points present on the area to be treated can define a code. The apparatus may be provided with means for interpreting the code corresponding to these points, and apply a product whose selection and / or mode of application is performed according to the recognized code.

For example, some points are formed with a first pattern and others with a different pattern. The device applies two different products or the same product at different concentrations depending on the pattern detected. Photoprotective Composition As mentioned above, a photoprotective composition can be applied to the thermally stable photochromic composition once the desired appearance is achieved. This photoprotective composition can screen UV radiation when the irradiation to reveal the thermally stable photochromic composition is UV irradiation.

The photoprotective composition may also, if necessary, screen at least one predefined wavelength in the visible, in order to limit the risk of erasure of a photochromic agent, if appropriate. One or more optical agents providing the photoprotective composition with a filtering power F of solar radiation (290 to 400 nm) ranging from 2 to 20, preferably from 4 to 10, can be used. The photoprotective composition may be, if appropriate, a shiny, oily or emollient, anti-brightening product, a blush, a blush, a varnish or a primer. Optical agents Optical agents shielding the radiation for revealing purposes. especially UV or near UV. The above optical agent (s) may be chosen from filters and diffusing particles or other agents which limit the transmission of UV, in particular UVA and / or UVB. This or these optical agents may be chosen from inorganic filters. especially in particulate form and nanoscale, and organic filters. The optical agent (s) may be hydrophilic or lipophilic. The organic filters may be chosen from anthranilate derivatives. cinnamic. salicylic derivatives, camphor derivatives, benzimidazole derivatives, benzotriazole, benzalmalonate derivatives. imidazolines. bisbenzoazolyl, benzoxazole derivatives, triazine derivatives, benzophenone derivatives, dibenzoylmethane derivatives, beta, diphenylacrylate derivatives, p-aminobenzoic derivatives, filter and silicone filter polymers described in application WO 93 / 04665. dimers derived from alpha alkylstyrene. 4,4-diarylbutadiene and mixtures thereof. The hydrophilic filters may be chosen from those described in application EP A 678 292, for example 3-benzylidene 2-camphor, in particular Mexoryl SX1. Among the lipophilic filters, mention may be made of dibenzoylmethane derivatives. described in publications FR 2 326 405, FR 2 440 933, EP 0 114 607, Parsol 1789 from Givaudan. Eusolex from Merck. Mention may also be made of 2-ethylhexyl α-cyano-b, biphenylacrylate, called octocrylene and available under the trade name Uvinul N 539 from BASF. It is also possible to mention p-methylbenzylidene camphor sold under the trade name Eusolex EX 6300 from Merck. It is also possible to use as optical active agent a filter selected from benzophenone-3 (oxybenzone), benzophenone-4 (sulisobenzone), benzophenone-8 (dioxybenzone), bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT or Tinosorb S). Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (Uvinul +), Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Methyl Anthranilate (Meradimate). (4-) Methylbenzylidene camphor (Parsol 5000), Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol (Tinosorb M), para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic acid (Ensulizole), Polysilicone 15 (Parsol SLX). triethanolamine salicylate. It is also possible to use as optical agent diffusing particles such as nanopigments of titanium oxide or zinc, which can be used as a filter. with various surface treatments depending on the medium chosen. Nanopigments typically have an average size of 5 to 1000 nm. The total mass concentration of such optical agent (s) can range from 0.001% to 30%, or even more in the case of dry or almost dry formulas. relative to the weight of the photoprotective composition, before application. Preferably, within the composition are used filters or combinations 30 for shielding the radiation in the range from 320 to 400 nm, and preferably from 320 to 420 nm.

Optical assets for limiting the propagation of visible and infrared light to the photochromic agent (s) If the optical agents shielding the UV radiation allow the unrevealed zones to be protected, in the case of a thermally stable photochromic composition UV irradiation, it is also possible to apply on the thermally stable photochromic composition one or more optical filtering agents in the visible, to protect the revealed areas, and it may be advantageous to combine the two. namely, filtration in the UV and filtration in the visible. Many dyes or pigments are usable. In particular, dyes of color close to that of the skin are preferred, for example yellow or orange dyes or mixtures making it possible to produce hues of yellow, orange, ocher, brown or brown or of red dyes which will be used. preferably in a small amount, or in a mixture with a white or yellow diffusing agent, for example. to give the shade a pastel look such as pink or beige pink. Dyes of dyes a little pink for pink skins, shades a little yellow for pink skins and shades brown or brown for so-called black skins are preferred. The dyes may have, either alone or in a mixture, a chromaticity close to that of the skin. They are preferentially chroma C * (in the HVC * system) less than 40.

The dye (s) may be chosen from: the yellow pigments codified in the Color Index under the references Cl 11680, 11710, 15985, 19140, 20040, 21100, 21108, 47000, 47005, the orange pigments codified in the Color Index under CI 11725, 15510, 45370, 71105, and the red pigments coded in the Color Index as CI [2085, 12120, 12370, 12420, 12490. 14700, 15525. 15580, 15620, 15630, 15800. 15850, 5865, 15880, 17200. 26100, 45380. 45410, 58000, 73360, 73915, 75470. It is possible to use in the photoprotective composition organic pigment pigment pastes such as the products sold by Hoechst under the Names: YELLOW COSMENYL IOG: Pigment 5 t YELLOW 3 (Cl 11710) YELLOW COSMENYL G: YELLOW Pigment 1 (Cl 11680) ORANGE COSMENYL GR: Pigment ORANGE 43 (Cl 71105) Lacquers and, in particular, those known under the denominations D & C Red 21 (CI 45 380), D & C Orange 5 (CI 45370) , D & C Red 27 (CI 45,410), D & C Orange 10 (CI 45,425), D & C Red 3 (CI 45,430), D & C Red 7 (CI 15,850: 1). D & C Red 4 (CI 15,510), D & C Red 33 (CI 17,200), D & C Yellow 5 (CI 19,140). D & C Yellow 6 (CI 15 985). D & C Yellow 1 O (CI 77,002). The dyes can be ionic or neutral. Natural dyes and pigments are particularly popular because they combine well with natural complexions and some lose their color over time.

These are for example plant extracts or natural molecules artificially reproduced, being chosen for example from melanin, anthocvanes. polyphenols, porphyrins and curcumin. These are, for example, pigments obtained by oxidative polymerization of indole and / or phenol derivatives. as described in the publication FR 2 679 771. Particularly preferred are dyes and pigments having an ionicity complementary to the UV filters, for example the dyes with anionic function. like some food dyes and cationic filters. It is also possible to use IR filters or compounds which, by reaction, will be colored, for example DHA. An evolutionary dye may be used, for example a dye whose color is revealed over time and if possible slowly, for example DHA or polyphenols. able to color gradually in contact with the air. This makes it possible to progressively develop the filtering power of the photoprotective composition. Thermally unstable photochromic agents The thermally unstable photochromic coloring agent may be used as the optical agent in the photoprotective composition. It is not used to create the light-sensitive makeup but to protect it in case of too intense light exposure, for example in case of very strong sunlight or an artificial effect such as the illumination 30 used on television trays , some medical treatments, some cosmetic treatments such as UV cabins for example, photographic flashes or some festive places.

The thermally unstable photochromic agent will take its color during the very intense illumination and, in a certain way, may limit the visibility of the underlying light-sensitive makeup. However, as the thermally unstable photochromic agent quickly resumes its colorless form after stopping the very intense illumination. this phenomenon is temporary. Preferably, thermally unstable photochromic agents are used, losing at least half of their color in 60 seconds at 25 ° C in the dark. In particular, inorganic thermally unstable photochromic agents are preferred. Optical agents capable of reflecting incident light An optical agent forming a metal mirror or an optical agent based on interferential multilayer structure or diffraction grating can be used as optical agent, in particular for attenuating UV or visible light. As optical agents usable alone or in addition to the optical agents enumerated above, it is possible to use optical agents capable of reflecting the incident light. The reflection occurs at the interface between the reflective layer and the propagation medium of the light wave. The material forming the reflective layer may have a refractive index greater than 1.5, possibly greater than 1.8. The optical agent may contain or be formed of a metal. For example, a silver layer is formed by applying the photoprotective composition through the reduction of a silver salt or by the application of a dispersion of silver nanoparticles. The reflection rate of the photoprotective composition may be greater than 5%, and if possible greater than 10%. Preferably, it is less than 50%, in order not to taint the result of the light-sensitive makeup. For example, the photoprotective composition may comprise an aqueous or an ethanolic dispersion of silver nanoparticles. for example those of the company Nippon Paint which have a size ranging from 10 to 60 nm depending on the samples and are stabilized by a polymeric system. This stabilization does not prevent, at the time of drying, the particles from coming into contact, and through these contacts, to ensure a sufficient conductivity to give the final material a reflective power close to that obtained with a mirror. 'money. An optical agent having an interferential multilayer structure can be used.

This interferential structure can filter the light by a phenomenon of destructive interferences between the light waves reflected by the different layers of the structure. The multilayer structure is preferably chosen so as to have a high transmission factor in the visible, so as not to produce a visible color in the visible and to present the desired transparency. The multilayer structure may comprise alternating layers of low and high refractive indices. The difference in refractive index between the high and low index layers is, for example, greater than or equal to 0.1, better still 0.15, and even more preferably 0.6.

The number of layers of the aforementioned alternation is for example at least 2. better 4 or 6. or at least 12, which facilitates the realization of a structure insensitive to the incidence of light and having the selectivity required. The multilayer structure may optionally be symmetrical, and allow incident light filtration irrespective of the main light input face in the structure, if any.

The high refractive index material may be inorganic, for example titanium dioxide in anatase or rutile form, iron oxide, zirconium dioxide, zinc oxide, zinc sulphide, zinc oxychloride and the like. bismuth, and mixtures thereof. or organic, being for example chosen from: PEEK (polyetheretherketone), polyimide. PVN (Poly (2-vinylnaphthalene)), PVK (Poly (N-vinyl carbazole)), PF (phenol formaldehyde resin), PSU (polysulfone resin), PaMes (poly (alpha-methylstyrene)). PVDC. (Poly (vinylidene chloride)), MeOS (Poly (4-methoxystyrene)), PS (polystyrene). BPA. (bisphenol-A polycarbonate), PC (polycarbonate resin), PVB (Poly (vinyl benozoate)), PET (poly (ethyleneterephthalate)), PDAP (poly (diallyl phthalate)), PPhMA (poly (phenylmethacrylate)), SAN (styrene) copolymer acrylonitrile), HDPE (polyethylene, high density), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), NYLON, POM (poly (oxymethylene) or polyformaldehyde). PMA (poly (methyl acrylate)), etc., and mixtures thereof. The material with a low refractive index may be inorganic, being for example chosen from silicon dioxide, magnesium fluoride, aluminum oxide, and mixtures thereof, or organic, for example being chosen from polymers such as polymethyl methacrylate or polystyrene, polyurethane, and mixtures thereof. In order to produce the interference particles with a multilayer structure, those skilled in the art may notably refer to the numerous publications that deal with thin-film deposition, for example the article Overcoated Microspheres for Specific Optical Powers of Applied Optics revenue, Vol. 41, No. 6 of 01/06/2002, here incorporated by reference, and to the patents of the company FLEXPRODUCTS. The optical agent may comprise a diffractive structure, and for example at least one diffraction grating, which may be an array comprising a surface pattern repeating substantially so as to diffract the light. The period of the network and possibly the depth thereof determine among other things the diffraction properties of the network. The duty cycle of the diffraction grating may be chosen equal to unity.

Preferably, the period of the diffraction grating, in at least one direction, is advantageously low enough to reduce the risk of creating colored effects in the photoprotective composition. The period of the grating is thus advantageously chosen so as not to diffract the light in the visible range. in particular in the range from 400 nm to 780 nm.

The maximum period of the grating which makes it possible to avoid having diffraction orders in the visible can be determined at least approximately by the relation: where 0 is the angle of incidence measured with respect to the normal to the plane of the plane. network, 1'1'angle of transmission ,. A. the period of the grating, m the diffraction order and ni and n2 the refractive indices of the incidence and transmission media, respectively. ni and n2 can be taken as 1.5 in first approximation. For 0 = 0 °, the maximum period is 1π1 = - 400 / 1.5, ie about 267 nm. Without limitation on the angle of incidence, the period is half less. We will therefore preferably choose a period for the network less than or equal to 270 nm, better than or equal to 140 nm. The depth d of the network and its period A can be selected by successive tests so as to obtain for example a minimum transmission in the 30 UVA. The calculation of the network characteristics can be carried out by vector calculation using for example the GSOLVER software from GRATING SOLVER DEVELOPMENT COMPANY. The one or more layers used to make the diffraction grating (s) may optionally be deposited on a substrate of organic or inorganic nature, which may be used such that or subsequently undergo a dissolution treatment. Thus, the structure of the network or networks may be etched either in the mass of a material or after the deposition of a material on an organic or inorganic substrate of spherical or lamellar form. The etching can be carried out so that the diffraction of light in the visible part is minimal, to reduce the color effects. The periodicity of the etching and its thickness determine the effectiveness of the system to attenuate the UV radiation. The interference filtering agent may optionally comprise two diffraction gratings extending in non-parallel directions, for example two substantially perpendicular directions, which may notably make it possible to increase the absorption in the UV of a circularly polarized incident light. and to reduce the dependence of filtration performance on the angle of incidence. The two diffraction gratings may have substantially equal periods A1 and A2, in particular both less than or equal to 270 nm. better at 140 nm.

The two diffraction gratings may also have substantially equal depths, when they have a relief on the surface and that this relief makes it possible to create the periodic index variation of the grating. The period of the network can be constant or variable and the constant or variable depth. The network may extend in a rectilinear or curvilinear direction.

The diffraction grating may comprise a superposition of layers having different refractive indices. The diffraction grating can be made at least partially in a dielectric material. The patterns of the network or networks may be various and for example have, in section, rectangular, triangular slots. sinusoidal undulations or stepped crenellations. The diffractive structure may be formed at least on a portion of a main face of the particle and preferably on the two main faces of the particle.

The diffracting structure may comprise a protective layer covering the network or networks and not diffracting. It is also possible to mention interferential pigments that are not fixed on a substrate, such as liquid crystals (Helicones HC from Wacker). and interferential holographic flakes (Geometric Pigments or Spectra f / x from Spectratek). The composition may comprise a mixture of UVA and / or UVB filtering interference elements, for example particles having diffraction gratings having different periods and / or depths.

Optical Agents Capable of Transforming the Wavelength of Incident Light The photoprotective composition may comprise a fluorescent compound. By fluorescent compound is meant a compound which absorbs the light of the ultraviolet spectrum, and possibly of the visible and which converts the absorbed energy into fluorescent light of longer wavelength, emitted in the ultraviolet or visible part of the spectrum. It can be optical brighteners, which can be transparent and colorless. do not absorb in the visible light but only in the UV and transform the energy absorbed into fluorescent light of longer wavelength. for example longer than 20 nm, better 50 nm or even 100 nm, emitted in the visible part of the spectrum; the color impression generated by these brighteners can then only be generated by the purely fluorescent light predominantly blue. wavelengths ranging from 400 to 500 nm.

Quantum dots are luminescent semiconductor nanoparticles capable of emitting, under light excitation, radiation having a wavelength of between 400 nm and 700 nm. These nanoparticles can be manufactured according to the processes described for example in US Pat. Nos. 6,225,198 or 5,990,479 in the publications cited therein, as well as in the following publications: Dabboussi BO et al (CdSe) ZnS core quantum dots: synthesis and characterization of a large series of highly luminescent nanocrystallites.

More particularly, mention may be made of: - Brilliant Yellow B6GL marketed by SANDOZ and having the following structure: 1 -The Basic Yellow 2. or Auramine O marketed by PROLABO companies. The fluorescent compounds used can be aminophenyl ethenyl aryl. wherein aryl is a pyridinium, substituted or unsubstituted, or another cationic group such as substituted or unsubstituted imidizoliniums. For example, a fluorescent compound such as 2- [2- (4-dialkylamino) phenyl ethenyl] -1-alkylpyridinium may be used, in which the alkyl radical of the pyridinium ring represents a methyl or ethyl radical, that of the benzene ring represents a methyl radical. An optical agent can contain on the same molecule, several fluorescent groups.

The family of dicyanopyrazines may also provide fluorescent compounds in oranges and of interest for the invention.

Fluorescent pigments in oranges are also usable. For example. Sunbrite pigment-SG2515 Yellow orange from SunChemical. Application of the photoprotective composition The user can apply the photoprotective composition over the entire treated area, largely exceeding the thermally stable photochromic composition layer or, conversely, localized on certain zones only. as shown in FIG. 12. In this figure, the light-sensitive makeup was made with a thermally stable photochromic composition PC largely covered by the photoprotective composition PP. The photoprotective composition may for example be located on the edges of the zone coated with the thermally stable photochromic composition. thus surrounding the light-sensitive makeup patterns in the case where the light-sensitive makeup is less extensive than the thermally stable photochromic composition layer. The photoprotective composition layer may also take the form of a flexible film to be adhered to the keratin materials, for example the skin. The film material may act as an optical agent and / or the film may contain at least one optical agent dispersed in the film material. The film may still carry a coating containing the optical agent, for example in the form of an impression or an interferential multilayer structure. The user can apply such a film to the entire thermally stable photochromic composition layer or may optionally cut the film to cover only unrevealed areas, by not covering the revealed areas. One can use an automatic cutting system, which starting from the content of the light-sensitive makeup, for example its contour, will cut the protective film to the appropriate shape. The user will then place the protective film thus cut on the undisclosed areas.

In another example of implementation of the invention, the photoprotective composition is deposited by transfer, by applying a support sheet carrying at least one optical agent on the area to be treated. The user can bring the sheet into contact with the keratin materials coated with the thermally stable photochromic composition, then by friction or by other means such as heat or the use of a solvent, cause the transfer of the agent (s) optics on the thermally stable photochromic composition layer.

In an exemplary implementation of the invention, the photoprotective composition layer is reversible, that is to say that the user can remove it without removing the first layer of thermally stable photochromic composition. For this purpose, the first layer can be formulated so that it is resistant to water or to a mixture of water and surfactant and formulate the second layer so that it is not resistant to water or mixture of water and surfactant. It is also possible to make a second peelable layer. For this purpose, it is possible to use a second layer forming, before or after application to the first layer. a cohesive coating. The second layer, when peelable, comprises for example an elastomeric material.

In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the second layer is not very adherent to the first layer, for example by virtue of the use in the thermally stable photochromic composition of low surface tension compounds such as silicone or fluorinated compounds. . In another embodiment of the invention, a non-adhesive intermediate layer is interposed between the first and second layers. facilitating the removal of the photoprotective composition layer. The photoprotective composition layer may have, especially when it is reversible, a very important filtering power F, for example greater than or equal to 20. It is possible to deposit a single layer containing the optical agent (s) or several layers containing several different optical agents. .

For example, a single layer can be deposited to protect the thermally stable photochromic composition layer from UV radiation and visible light. It is also possible to deposit a specific layer for UV protection and an additional layer for additional protection in the UV and / or in the visible. this additional layer comprising for example a dye or a thermally unstable photochromic agent.

One can also exceed a layer for UV protection and an additional layer comprising a fluorescent compound providing additional protection in the UV. In a particular case, a multilayer film is applied comprising a first layer of thermally stable photochromic composition and a second photoprotective layer comprising an optical agent forming a screen for the revealing radiation of the thermally stable photochromic composition. This film can be self-supporting or applied by transfer. The thermally stable photochromic composition can be applied to even keratinous materials or to a basecoat, especially a basecoat as defined hereinafter. The second composition may be applied directly to the thermally stable photochromic composition layer or to an intermediate layer therebetween, as mentioned above. The second composition may itself be coated, if necessary, with an additional layer. Choice of the ingredients of the different layers In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, two layers successively applied, for example the thermally stable photochromic composition layer and the photoprotective composition layer or the base layer and the photochromic composition layer. thermally stable or the layer of thermally stable photochromic composition and the layer for forming a material protecting the light-sensitive makeup may have a physical complementarity allowing or facilitating the attachment of the second layer on the first and / or allowing or facilitating the spreading of the second layer on the first. It may be advantageous if there is complementarity of ionicity. Thus, the first layer may contain an anionic polymer for example, and the second layer then contains a cationic compound, for example a cationic filter, a cationic dye or a cationic fluorescent compound. The opposite is possible. It can also be advantageous if there is complementarity of surface tension. Thus, the first layer may have a first surface tension, preferably greater than 40 mN.m. for example through the use of at least one hydrophilic polymer. The second layer may have a second surface tension lower than the first, preferably less than 40, for example through the use of a predominantly oily composition. silicone or fluorinated, or through the use of an aqueous composition in which one or more surfactants has been introduced. You can choose ingredients (solvents, adhesives ...) for the second layer that are not solvents of the first. For example, an organic solvent can be chosen (ethanol, acetone, alkyl acetate, carbonaceous oils (eg isododecane), volatile silicones (D5 for example), etc.) for the first layer and an aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic solvent for the second layer. Or vice versa. It is also possible to choose two organic solvents or two aqueous solvents for the two layers, provided that upon drying of the first layer, a transformation takes place. For example. a first layer containing a latex is used. The latter will, on drying, coalesce and make the first layer inert against the application of the second layer. It is also possible to use a first layer containing an acrylic / acrylate copolymer which is not very hydrosoluble and rendered water-soluble by neutralization with a volatile base such as ammonia. After drying the first layer, the ammonia will evaporate and make the first layer water resistant. Base layer A basecoat of a first photoprotective composition containing at least one optical agent capable of forming a screen at a wavelength of at least temporarily, especially a wavelength belonging to the range at the range 320 to 440 nm, and apply on this base layer a second thermally stable photochromic composition which can be detected by exposure to radiation of at least one wavelength X where the optical agents can be chosen from those indicated below. The photoprotective composition applied as a base layer has, for example, at least at the time of its application, a filtering power F with respect to the solar radiation of at least 2, better 5 or 10. The use of the base layer makes it possible to reduce the risk of staining of the skin by making it more difficult to migrate the photochromic agent (s) of the thermal photochromic composition stably stable towards the underlying keratin materials.

This migration can be further slowed down, even prevented, when the first and second compositions are non-miscible with each other, one of the compositions being, for example, aqueous and the other non-aqueous, or conversely so as to form two phases. .

Thus, it is possible to choose ingredients (solvents, adhesives, etc.) for the second composition which are not solvents of the thermally stable photochromic composition and vice versa. For example, an organic solvent is chosen, for example from alcohols or ketones, in particular ethanol or acetone, alkyl acetate, carbonaceous oils, in particular isododecane, and volatile silicones, for the second composition. photoprotective agent and an aqueous or hydroalcoholic solvent for the first thermally stable photochromic composition, or vice versa. It is also possible to choose two organic solvents or two aqueous solvents for the two compositions, so that on drying a transformation takes place. For example, a first composition containing a latex is employed. The latter will, on drying, coalesce and make the layer inert against the application of the thermally stable photochromic composition. The base layer may be formed on a larger surface than the thermally stable photochromic composition. This facilitates the application of the thermally stable photochromic composition because the user no longer has to worry about precisely matching the application contours of the two compositions. When the thermally stable photochromic composition is detectable by exposure to UV radiation, then preferentially the optical agent contained in the base layer is a non-photostable sun filter with a photostability index of less than or equal to 80%.

A resultant advantage is that when the base layer is applied to the skin, the user is not completely prevented from tanning, even if the base layer has been applied to a range far exceeding the composition. thermally stable photochromic. The basecoat may lose its UV filtering capacity upon exposure to the sun. which allows the user to gradually tan at least in the area not covered by the thermally stable photochromic composition. If the sunscreen was photostable, the user might be afraid to over-apply the basecoat, otherwise there would be a tan. To measure the photostability of a sunscreen, it is diluted in a solvent C12-C15 alkyl benzoate brand FINSOLV. The parsol filter 1789 is an example of a non-photostable filter with a photostability index of the order of 30%. defined as the ratio between the filtering power after one hour of exposure to UVA radiation produced by a SUNTEST brand irradiator on the initial filtering power. The base layer can be applied more or less long before the light-sensitive makeup, for example more than 15 minutes before, which may have the effect of leaving the base layer time to dry and make it little or not soluble in the layer applied to it, as mentioned above. In addition, by drying, the base layer may optionally form a relatively smooth surface, facilitating the application of a layer of uniform thickness of thermally stable photochromic composition.

As the skin is smoothed, the second layer may be thinner and the risk of thickness inhomogeneities that could give unsightly visual effects after revelation is reduced. Where appropriate, at least one intermediate layer may be applied to the base layer so as to lie between the thermally stable photochromic composition layer and the base layer. This intermediate layer may have the effect of improving the resistance of the layer of thermally stable photochromic composition to the base layer or, on the contrary, of facilitating its removal, for example during makeup removal. The intermediate layer may be a layer of a polymer or wax.

In particular, the intermediate layer may not have a filtration function of the wavelength 2 for revealing the thermally stable photochromic composition. It is also possible to apply a layer of another composition under the base layer to facilitate its attachment to the skin. Thus, the base layer may not be directly in contact with the skin. Alternatively, the base layer is applied to the skin or other keratin materials.

Mechanical protection of the light-sensitive makeup film At least one layer of thermally stable photochromic composition can be applied to the keratin materials and, by virtue of a second composition or by virtue of an energy supply, can form a material providing mechanical protection for the light-sensitive makeup in the layer of thermally stable photochromic composition. It is also possible to deposit on the layer of thermally stable photochromic composition at least one covering layer enabling the formation of a material providing mechanical protection for the light-sensitive makeup. The light-sensitive makeup may be produced before or after the formation of the material providing mechanical protection for the light-sensitive makeup by selectively revealing the thermally stable photochromic composition layer. Improving the mechanical strength of the light-sensitive makeup makes it possible to delay the degradation of the image formed and the loss of sharpness of the image over time is slowed down. In addition, the light-sensitive makeup is made less sensitive to friction and movement. The risk of transferring the thermally stable photochromic composition to clothing or other body regions is also decreased. It is thus possible to carry out a more lasting light-sensitive makeup taking on areas such as areas covered with clothing, for example the back, the belly, the breasts, the legs or the buttocks. The formation of said material can be done by evaporation of solvent (s), by a polymerization or crosslinking reaction, which need not necessarily be complete. Surface hardening, by polymerization and / or crosslinking, may be sufficient to improve the strength.

The material providing mechanical protection of the light-sensitive makeup is advantageously transparent. When the material covers the layer of thermally stable photochromic composition, the material forms a wear layer that can, gradually wear out during the day, protect the light-sensitive makeup.

The material may also, when it covers the layer of thermally stable photochromic composition, contribute to the aesthetics of the light-sensitive makeup, by providing an additional optical effect, for example a magnifying effect or coloration.

When the thermally stable photochromic composition provides the ability to clear the light-sensitive makeup by irradiating the thermally stable photochromic composition layer at a wavelength different from that used to reveal the thermally stable photochromic composition, the material can improve the holdability without prevent the disappearance of the light-sensitive makeup if desired, the user does not have to make a complete cleansing to do this. To form the material providing the mechanical protection of the light-sensitive makeup, polymerizable and / or crosslinkable compounds may be used in the thermally stable photochromic composition and / or in the covering layer.

The thermally stable photochromic composition may contain any polymerizable and / or crosslinkable compounds for forming the material. Eventually. the irradiation used to reveal the thermally stable photochromic composition serves for polymerization and / or crosslinking. The thermally stable photochromic composition may also contain a first agent that can potentially polymerize and / or crosslink. After or before the revelation of the one or more photochromic agents of the thermally stable photochromic composition, a second compound is applied which can, by association with the first, carry out the polymerization or crosslinking. Optionally, the irradiation is also used for polymerization and / or crosslinking.

In other exemplary embodiments, the second composition is applied after the application of the thermally stable photochromic composition and the production of the light-sensitive makeup. The application of the covering layer can be done before. after irradiation to reveal the photochromic agent (s). Its average thickness may be at least 2 μm, if possible at least 5 μm if the material is rather hard or elastomeric, better at least 10 μm if the material has a rather soft modulus of elasticity. In the case where the keratin materials are covered by a single layer which comprises the light-sensitive makeup, the thickness of this layer is preferably greater than 5 m, and more preferably 10 m. The thickness is preferably less than 1 mm.

In the case where the thermally stable photochromic composition incorporates all or part of the potentially crosslinkable compounds, it is possible to apply in a second time, before or after drying of the first composition, a second compound causing the crosslinking or necessary thereto. The thickness of the second layer (expressed after evaporation of the possible solvents) is preferably equal to at least 20% of the thickness of the first layer, and preferably greater than 50% of the thickness of the first layer. The thickness of the second layer is preferably greater than 5 m. In the case where the thermally stable photochromic composition does not include any potentially crosslinkable compound, it is possible, in a second step, to apply a second composition containing the compounds producing the crosslinking. The thickness of the second layer (expressed after evaporation of the possible solvents) is preferably equal to at least 10% of the thickness of the first layer, and preferably greater than 30% of the thickness of the first layer. The thickness of the second layer is at least greater than 5 m, and preferably less than 1 mm. The polymerization and / or crosslinking for forming the material can be chemical or physical. Polymerization and / or chemical crosslinking By chemical crosslinking, the fact that a compound can be alone. either by reaction with a second compound, or by the action of a radiation or a supply of energy, to create covalent chemical bonds between the molecules. The result is the increase in the cohesion of the material comprising this compound. The compound may be a single molecule or may be already the result of the combination of several molecules, for example oligomers or polymers. The compound may carry one or more reactive functions. The molecules giving preference after crosslinking a solid and / or deformable but elastomeric material are preferred. The chemical functions can react on another function of the same nature or react with another chemical function.

Reaction on another function of the same nature These are, for example, ethylenic functions, in particular acrylate, acrylic, methacrylate, methacrylic or styrene functions.

These molecules generally require a form of external activation to react, for example light, heat, the application of a catalyst. or a combination with photoinitiators and optionally photosensitizers to broaden the range of action of photoinitiators. Photopolymerizable and / or photocurable compositions are described, for example, in patents CA 1 306 954 and US 5 456 905. The polymeric compounds carrying ethylenic reactive functional groups described in patent EP 1 247 515 may be used. Ethylenic functions may be activated by an attractor group so as to accelerate the reactions and render unnecessary the contribution of an external activation. This is typically the case of the ethylcyanoacrylate monomer, for which the mere presence of a catalyst such as water allows the reaction. The ethylenic functions can be activated moderately, for example by an attractor group. The advantage is that the reaction requires external activation. which is interesting for controlling the start and the yield of the reaction, but does not require a photoinitiator. For example, it is cyanoacrylate monomers, and in particular cyanoacrylate monomers whose group carried by the ester function contains at least 2, if possible 4, carbon chains. Molecules requiring external activation such as light but not requiring a photoinitiator are preferred. Thus, especially preferred are molecules capable of reacting by photodimerization, such as those described in EP 1,572,139, particularly those carrying functions such as 1) stylbazoliums.

The reactions taking place on another function of the same nature are not limited to reactions involving ethylenic functions. Also preferred are condensation-reactive compounds, such as - siloxane groups, and especially dialkoxy or dihydroxy silane functions, trialkoxy or trihydroxysilane functions. It is possible to use molecules bearing alkyltrialkoxysilane or dialkyltrialkoxysilane functions, and in particular alkylalkoxysilane functions in which the alkyl group carries a water-solubilizing function such as an amine, for example a molecule such as aminotriethoxysilane or aminotriethoxysilane, or molecules carrying such functions. In addition to small molecules based on siloxanes (monomers or oligomers) 71, it is possible to use compounds of greater mass, in particular those described in patent FR 2 910 315. - sol-gels based on titanium. With these molecules, it is possible to control the start and the yield of the reaction. Oxidation-reactive compounds, such as aromatic compounds bearing at least two hydroxyl functions, or a hydroxyl function and an amine function, are also preferred. or a hydroxyl function, for example cathecol or dihydroxyindole. The oxidizing agent may be oxygen of air or another oxidant such as hydrogen peroxide for example. Reaction to another function The molecules that react in this case have two types of functions. complementary. These may be systems in which molecules carrying FA functions and molecules carrying FB functions that can react with the FA functions are brought into contact. It can also be molecules bearing on the same structure one or more functions FA and one or more functions FB. The FA function may be chosen for example from: epoxide, aziridine, vinyl and activated vinyl, in particular acrylonitrile, acrylic and methacrylic esters, crotonic acid and esters, cinnamic acid and esters, styrene and derivatives, butadiene, vinyl ethers, vinylketone , maleic esters, vinyl sulfones. maleimides, anhydride, acid chloride and carboxylic acid esters, aldehydes, acetals, hemi-acetals. aminals. hemi aminals, ketones, alpha-hydroxy ketones, alpha-haloketones, lactones. thiolactones. isocyanate, thiocyanate, imines, imides. in particular, succinimide, glutimide, N-hydroxysuccinimide esters, imidates, thiosulfate, oxazine and oxazoline, oxazinium and oxazolinium, C1 to C30 alkyl halides or aryl or C6 to C30 aralkyl of formula RX. with X = I, Br, Cl. unsaturated ring halogenide, carbon or heterocycle, in particular chlorotriazine, chloropyrimidine, chloroquinoxaline, chlorobenzotriazole, sulfonyl halide: RSO2Cl or F, R being a C1-C30 alkyl.

In a particular case, a molecule already present on the skin is used. or excreted through the skin as a reagent or catalyst. Typically. water, which may help the reaction of cyanoacrylates for example, or of certain reactions involving siloxanes.

In another particular case, a molecule present in the ambient air is used as reagent or catalyst. Typically. the oxygen involved in the crosslinking reaction of certain oils such as drying oils, and in particular drying vegetable oils such as linseed oil, Chinese wood (or Canton) oil. oitica oil, vernonia oil, flaxseed oil, pomegranate oil. calendula oil, or alkyd resins. The reactions can be accelerated by the use of catalysts, such as salts of cobalt, manganese, calcium, zirconium, zinc. strontium, lead, lithium, iron, cerium, barium, tin, in the form for example octoate, linoleate, or octanoate.

In another particular case, molecules are used which by rearrangement. will bind to each other. Thus, molecules bearing an internal disulfide can be used. By opening the internal disulfide and reacting these disulfides, new covalent bonds between the molecules can be created. Catalysts can be used to accelerate the reactions. For example, metal salts such as manganese, copper, iron, platinum, titanates, or enzymes such as oxidases or laccases. In the case of chemical functions reacting on another function of the same nature or not, several modes of application are possible. For example, all the reactive ingredients are integrated into the thermally stable photochromic composition, or all ingredients are integrated into the thermally stable photochromic composition except for one or more compounds, for example either of the compounds or a catalyst. None of the ingredients can be integrated into the thermally stable photochromic composition. all being applied in one or more times. after application of the thermally stable photochromic composition, and preferably after completion of the light-sensitive makeup. Physical Crosslinking Crosslinking can be physical, with ingredients that can create strong physical bonds between molecules and give the final material water resistance. These non-covalent bonds are of ionic or hydrogen type. By way of example, mention may be made of mixtures with a di or polyvalent salt, for example calcium, zinc, strontium or aluminum.

For example, a compound A may be mixed as an alginate derivative and a compound B as a calcium salt. The alginate derivative is for example contained in the thermally stable photochromic composition. In a second step, in the form of a spray, for example, an aqueous solution of calcium chloride is applied to cause the crosslinking. We can also mention the molecules capable of creating strong hydrogen bonds. such as, for example, polysiloxane / polyurea block copolymers, and in particular those of the formulas: ## STR5 ## wherein R 1 is a hydrogen atom, Where R is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical of 1 to 20 carbon atoms, which may be substituted by one or more fluorine or chlorine atoms. X represents an alkylene radical having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, in which non-neighboring methylene units may be replaced by -O- radicals. - A represents an oxygen atom or an amino-NR'- radical. Z represents an oxygen atom or an amino radical -NR '-, - R' represents hydrogen or an alkyl radical having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, - Y represents a divalent hydrocarbon radical, optionally substituted with fluorine or chlorine, having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, - D represents an alkylene radical, optionally substituted by fluorine, chlorine, C1-C6 alkyl or C1-C6 alkyl ester, having 1 to 700 carbon atoms, wherein non-neighboring methylene units may be replaced by -O- radicals. -COO-, -OCO- or -OCOO-, n is a number from 1 to 4000, - a is a number of at least 1, A - b is a number from 0 to 40, - c is a number ranging from 0 to 30, and - d is a number greater than 0. Details of the functions, the commercially accessible molecules and the conditions of use are given in patent EP 759 812. Crosslinking compounds leading to formation a specially resistant coating Whether by chemical or physical crosslinking, one can choose the crosslinking compounds to ensure the best possible resistance. especially with water and moisture. Thus, one can achieve very hydrophobic coatings and this, in particular to treat body parts that sweat the most, such as the bust or armpits for example. For example, a first reactive ingredient FA of the polyol type is employed. as for example a cellulose derivative, and a second reactive ingredient FB. of perfluoroalkyltriethoxysilane type. In this case, the application is made in two stages. The polyol is introduced into the thermally stable photochromic composition. A coating composition containing the ingredient FB is applied to the thermally stable photochromic composition.

For example, a system capable of giving a crosslinked coating and also containing hydrophobic particles is employed. An illustration of these associations is the combination of hydrophobic particles with condensation or hydrosilylation technologies as described in patent FR 2 910 315. The solid particles that can be used can be of mineral or organic origin, porous or non-porous, colored or not colored. They may be of any morphology, preferably spherical. The particles can be naturally hydrophobic, which is the case of PTFE powder for example or can be rendered hydrophobic by coatings. in particular hydrocarbon, silicone, fluorinated or fluorosilicone. It is also possible to produce coatings giving better resistance to sebum and fats. based on oxide or zinc salts for example, or coatings made more resistant to elongation or tearing. These enhancements may be useful for applications on the most motion-prone parts of the body, such as the lips, hands, underarms, neck, or any areas close to the joints. Resistance to elongation can be achieved by the use of crosslinking ingredients giving for example an elastomeric material. It is also possible to integrate in the composition (s) non-reactive compounds, giving an elastomeric character, for example an elastomeric polymer, for example a deolined natural latex, or fibers. A special case is to impregnate with the crosslinking ingredients a woven or non-woven fabric. The skin may be affixed to the skin, before or during the application of the light-sensitive makeup composition, a woven or non-woven fabric. Impregnation of the composition in the fabric provides mechanical strength. A combination of tissue and light-sensitive makeup composition can also be achieved, and then, once performed, apply it to the skin, with or without the aid of an adhesive.

It is possible to incorporate in the compositions lubricant active agents and in particular solid lubricating active agents such as boron or aluminum nitride, for example. It is also possible to integrate solid charges, and in particular hydrophilic or hydrophilic fillers, such as metal oxide particles. of metal hydroxides, metal carbonates or organic particles. These fillers can confer additional resistance to abrasion. Wear layer overlay layer The coating layer may form the mechanical protection material over the thermally stable photochromic composition layer and act as a wear layer.

In this case, the coating layer is advantageously cohesive after evaporation of the possible solvents and can be applied before or after the irradiation. Cohesive means that the layer is resistant to contact. For example, when approaching a flat probe with a surface area of 1 cm` of the coating layer. so that it comes into contact with a pressure of 10 N / cm2, and then the probe is removed after a contact time of 5 seconds, this must not lead to material. Thus, oily compounds are excluded.

The coating layer is not tacky once the solvents are evaporated. By non-sticky is meant that the layer does not offer resistance to shrinkage. For example, when approaching the layer a flat 1 cm 2 surface probe, so that it comes into contact with a pressure of 10 N / cm 2, then it is removed after a contact time of 5 cm 2. seconds. this must not require a resistance force at the moment of withdrawal. Thus, the so-called PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) compounds are excluded. The material forming the coating layer may have a modulus of elasticity less than 500 MPa and greater than 100 kPa, preferably between 200 MPa and 1 MPa.

Its average thickness is at least 1 μm, if possible at least 2 μm if the material has a modulus of elasticity greater than 1OMPa. Its average thickness is at least 2 gm, if possible at least 5 m if the material has a modulus of elasticity less than 10 MPa. In the case where the material forming the coating layer is elastomeric. that is to say having a maximum deformation of at least 400% before rupture and having an elastic recovery of at least 90% after a waiting time of 1 minute, the average thickness is preferably at least 1 g, even if the modulus of elasticity is less than 10 MPa. By elastic recovery is meant the level of return to its initial length. of a test piece after a 40% pull and release of the stress. So. if the initial length of the specimen is LO, and the length after tension of 40% and relaxation of the stress is L (t), the recovery R (t) at time t, counted after relaxation, is equal to: 100 * (1- (L (t) -L0) / L0) / 0.4). Thus, if L (t) = LO, then R (t) = 100.

If L (t) = 1.4 * L0, then R (t) = 0 The recovery test is carried out by first preparing a specimen approximately 200 m thick. 6 cm long, and 1 cm wide. If necessary. the test piece is optionally made on a support film whose mechanical impact is considered to be low with respect to the mechanical properties of the test piece.

The test piece is subjected to a tension of 40% of its length at a speed of 0.1 mm / s. Then the constraint is released and wait 1 minute.

Preferably, the coating layer is applied with a majority solvent different from that used for the thermally stable photochromic composition layer. However, this condition can be circumvented especially in the case of use, for the thermally stable photochromic composition layer. crosslinking or coalescing compounds. For example, if the thermally stable photochromic composition layer contains a latex of Tg <40 ° C and water for example, the coating layer may also be water-based. If the thermally stable photochromic composition layer contains a solvent and a compound capable of crosslinking, such as those described above, the coating layer may contain the same solvent. To assist in the proper production of the coating layer, it is possible to provide, before its application, a light irradiation or heat, for example. It is also possible to deposit an intermediate layer made, for example, of a resin or any other adhesion-promoting product, such as an adhesive or certain powders, especially those which, by their particle size, help the upper layer to grip. After the application of the coating layer, it is possible to provide light irradiation or heat. The coating layer can be removed gradually. So. the light-sensitive makeup layer 20 is not altered in time and allows the light-sensitive makeup to retain all its precision. Ingredients of the Wear-Coating Layer The compounds that may be involved in the production of such a coating layer are polymers. for example poly (meth) acrylic, poly (meth) acrylates, polyurethanes. polyesters, polystyrenes or copolymers in soluble or dispersed form, for example selected from Mexomer, ultrahold Strong DR 25, 28-29-30, Gantez, Amerhold DR 25, amphomer, Luviset If Pure, AQ 38 or AQ 48. The polymers may carry side or end groups to adjust their hardness. For example, the material forming the covering layer may comprise acrylate polymers with silicone functions, such as VS 80 for example.

The polymers may be natural polymers or modified natural polymers, for example polysaccharide polymers, such as guanine gums, locust bean gums, cellulose derivatives, such as HPMCP or proteins. The polymers may be hydrocarbon polymers.

The polymers may be silicones, such as silicone gums, for example. Since most polymers do not always have the intrinsic qualities to give the required time, it may be useful to add a plasticizer. In addition to the plasticizers usually used, for example glycol ether (tropopylene glycol monomethyl ether (named PPG3 methyl ether by the company Dow Chemical) or glycerol, may be included certain non-volatile solvents such as propylene carbonate, alcohols, silicone or carbon oils The amounts of plasticizers are calculated according to the polymer and its intrinsic qualities Typically (% based on the weight of polymer): Concentrations and thicknesses after drying The concentrations of the various ingredients can be adjusted so that the After drying, the thicknesses after drying are in accordance with the specifications given above, for example, assuming that 20 mg / cm.sup.2 of fluid composition to be spread is applied, that the composition contains 10% dry matter. approximately 2 mg / cm 2 can be deposited If the density is approximately 1, this corresponds to a thick In another example, if it is assumed that a 40% aerosol composition containing 20% dry matter is sprayed at 30 cm from the face for 4 seconds, about 0.4 g per 400 cm 2 will be deposited. or 1 mg per cm2. If the density is about 1. the thickness of the layer thus deposited will be about 10 m. Glyceric Ether Glycerin Ultrahold Strong (BASF) 5% 10% Mexomer (Chimex) 4% 8% AQ 48 (Eastman Chemicals) 1% 2% Luviset Si Pure (BASF) 3% 5% VS 80 (3M) 5% 10% Thus, according to the modes of application and dosage forms, the concentrations of dry matter can range from 1 to 50%. The coating composition can be dry. Other Ingredients In addition to the ingredients already mentioned, each composition may contain ingredients allowing or assisting the spreading on the keratin materials, more particularly the skin, bringing a care, a comfort, for example an odor or a softness. assisting in the removal at the time of washing, for example one or more surfactants. limiting the penetration of ingredients into the skin, for example astringents, or bringing other cosmetic features, for example hydration. the color, gloss and / or limiting the impacts of UV filtration, for example a self-tanning or a vitamin D activator. Make-up Remover During the removal of make-up, the user can leave traces of thermally stable photochromic composition not revealed . However, these traces may be brought to reveal later, for example after a few hours spent in the ambient light. At this time, it may be difficult for the user to carry out a makeup removal supplement. To remedy this problem, it may be advantageous to apply during or after makeup removal, at least one optical agent forming screen at least one wavelength used to reveal the thermally stable photochromic composition. Such an optical agent can be reapplied several times in succession, if necessary. The optical agent may belong to a makeup remover composition. By forming a screen at the wavelength, it should be understood that the optical agent attenuates the radiation of wavelength X at least by a factor of 2, the measurement being carried out by means of a device capable of measuring the absorption spectrum by restricting irradiation light to a wavelength region centered around X, as detailed above. The application during and better after, the makeup removal of the optical agent prevents the traces of photochromic agent to be revealed and reduces the risk of staining keratin materials or clothing. The keratin materials may not be washed within one hour after the application of the optical agent. When later the user proceeds to a wash, the traces of unverified photochromic agent and protected by the optical agent can be eliminated. Another advantage related to the application of the optical agent is that it avoids, when a new light-sensitive makeup is realized. that some undisclosed parts of the previous 5 light-sensitive makeup and still present are revealed during exposure to the radiation used to make the new light-sensitive makeup. The optical agent can be applied after makeup removal. The optical agent can also be used in the formulation of a make-up remover composition used for makeup removal. The wavelength λ may belong to the UV or near-UV spectrum (290 nm to 400 nm). especially in the range from 320 nm to 440 nm. The makeup-removing composition may be a conventional make-up removal product based on surfactants, or a special make-up remover suitable for the compounds of the thermally stable photochromic composition, and may comprise a solvent. for example, ethyl or butyl acetate, acetone, ethanol and mixtures thereof. and more generally any solvent selected from cosmetically acceptable organic solvents (tolerance, toxicology and acceptable touch). These organic solvents may represent from 0% to 98% of the total weight of the composition.

Examples of lipophilic organic solvents that may be mentioned are fatty esters such as diisopropyl adipate. dioctyl adipate, alkyl benzoates, isopropyl myristate. isopropyl palmitate, butyl stearate, hexyl laurate, isononyl isononanoate. 2-ethylhexyl palmitate, 2-hexyl-decyl laurate, 2-octyl-decyl palmitate. 2-octyl-dodecyl myristate, di- (2-ethylhexyl) succinate. diisostearyl malate, 2-octyl-dodecyl lactate, glycerin triisostearate, diglycerin triisostearate. The makeup-removing composition may also comprise: an oil, for example in the form of a microemulsion, a pH agent if the compound (s) used to maintain the photochromic agent (s) on the skin are sensitive to pH, which is the case of carbopol by example, or an ionic liquid. Among the anionic surfactants which may be used alone or as a mixture in the makeup-removing composition, mention may be made in particular of the alkaline salts, the ammonium salts, the amine salts or the aminoalcohol salts of the following compounds: alkyl sulphates, alkyl sulphates, alkyl sulphates and ether sulphates. alkyl aryl polyether sulphates, monoglyceride sulphates, alkyl sulphonates, alkyl sulphonates, alkyl aryl sulphonates, α-olefin sulphonates, paraffin sulphonates. alkylsulfosuccinates, alkylethersulfosuccinates, alkylamidesulfosuccinates. alkyl sulfosuccinamates, alkylsulfoacetates, alkylpolyglycerol carboxylates. alkylphosphates / alkylphosphates, acylsarcosinates, alkylpolypeptidates. alkylamidopolypeptidates, acylisethionates, alkylolaurates. The alkyl or acyl radical in all these compounds generally refers to a chain of 12 to 18 carbon atoms.

The makeup removal composition which contains the optical agent can be formulated so as to allow the optical agent to be deposited at the time of rinsing, for example by coacervation effect, this effect being obtainable for example by using surfactants and polymers. ionicity, for example PC / PA, TC / TA. TC / PA. TA / PC, optionally with amphoteric and nonionic surfactants to facilitate deposition. PCs are typically compounds such as cationic guar gums (Jaguar C13S for example) or artificial compounds, such as JR 400 or ionene. TCs are typically quaternary chain compounds (and especially trimethylammonium groups) and fatty chain (C6 to C30). PAs may be multianionic polymers such as acrylate or methacrylate polymers or copolymers or polymers with sulfonic groups. TAs are anionic surfactants such as carboxylic or sulfate or sulfonic surfactants (LES, LS). The makeup-removing composition may be applied using any suitable support, in particular capable of absorbing it, for example a fibrous cleansing disc, for example a woven or non-woven fabric, a felt, cotton wool, a flocked film, a sponge, a wipe, the support used for removing makeup is advantageously removed after the makeup operation. The make-up removing composition can be contained in a container and removed as and when each makeup removal. In a variant, the make-up removal composition impregnates the support used for removing make-up, the support being able to be in this case packaged for example in a sealed package. After the use of the make-up removing composition, the keratin materials may not be rinsed. In a variant. they can be. The rinsing can be carried out for example with running water, without adding a soap. Suggested examples Negative A negative for the light-sensitive makeup can be created as follows. A PowerPoint file is created representing a checkerboard where each square is about 3 mm wide. Then we print this file on a transparency with a laser printer. Transparency when not printed, allows UV to pass through the UVA activation band. around 365 nm. Irradiator The UV irradiator used is for example a Wood lamp. sold by Bioblock Scientific. reference VL 6L which delivers approximately 6W over approximately 75 cm, around 365 nm. The received power, measured with a wattmeter. is 2.25 mW per cm` to 3 cm from the device.

Tests The tests are performed in ambient light, in a closed room. As a support is used a white plastic material (polyurethane). representing the texture of the skin, marketed by Beaulax. under the brand Bioskin ref #white 061031-2. The compositions are applied to this surface and allowed to dry for one minute. The negative is taped to the surface by hand holding it, then the irradiator is approached about 3 cm from the surface. It is irradiated for 10 seconds, corresponding to an energy of about 22.5 mJ / cm 2. The quality of the light-sensitive makeup is evaluated by taking care to look at the quality of the checkerboard pattern. Movement tests are also performed by folding the support twenty times in a row, every 5 minutes, and friction tests, rubbing the surface with paper tissues. Frictions are performed 10 times in succession, and every 5 minutes. a) Tests involving chemical crosslinking The following compositions are carried out (the proportions indicated are by weight).
