  However, in any of the above-described cosmetic containers, it is still the same that the cosmetics must be applied one color at a time when the gradation pattern is formed on the coated part. A beautiful gradation pattern cannot be easily formed using a material.

  Accordingly, the present invention provides a cosmetic applicator that can easily form a beautiful gradation pattern using a plurality of color powder cosmetics, and a cosmetic set including the cosmetic applicator and a cosmetic container. With the goal.

  A cosmetic applicator according to the present invention includes a gripping part for a user to grip, and an application body that is rotatably attached to the gripping part about an axis and can apply powder cosmetics. It is characterized by being configured in a tapered shape.

  According to such a cosmetic applicator, the following method of use can be taken. That is, first, the user grips the gripping part, for example, spans the powder cosmetics of a plurality of colors, and rotates the tapered application body to roll on the surface of the powder cosmetics, A gradation pattern corresponding to the lined powder cosmetics can be easily attached to the coated body. Next, by pressing the application body with the gradation pattern attached to the application portion such as the face from the tip side, the gradation pattern can be applied from the application body to the application portion in a state where the rotation of the application body is constrained, A circular gradation pattern having shading in the radial direction can be easily formed on the application portion. Therefore, a beautiful circular gradation pattern can be easily formed using a plurality of color powder cosmetics.

  Here, it is preferable that the application body is formed of an elastic body. When such a configuration is adopted, when the applied body rotates on the surface of the powder cosmetic, the applied body is crushed and deformed in the radial direction. Therefore, a gradation pattern in which the boundary between the powder cosmetics is blurred is preferable. When the application body to which this gradation pattern is attached is pressed against the application portion, the application body is crushed and deformed in the axial direction, so that the gradation pattern with a more blurred boundary is preferably applied. It can be applied to the application part, and a more beautiful circular gradation pattern can be formed. Moreover, since the application body is crushed and deformed when the application body is pressed against the portion to be applied, the feeling of application is good.

  A cosmetic set according to the present invention includes the cosmetic applicator and a cosmetic container in which a plurality of color powder cosmetics are arranged in plan view.

  According to such a cosmetic set, since the powder cosmetics of a plurality of colors are provided with the cosmetic container arranged in a plan view, the above-described function, that is, the powder arranged in line, is obtained by using the cosmetic container. The effect that the gradation pattern corresponding to cosmetics can be easily attached to the said application body by rotating an application body can be show | played suitably.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the boundary line between the powder cosmetics in the cosmetic container has a triangular wave shape in plan view. When such a configuration is adopted, when the coated body rotates on the surface of the powder cosmetic, the boundary between the powder cosmetics adheres to the coated body as an intermediate color between the two powder cosmetics. A blurred gradation pattern can be attached to the coated body, and a more beautiful circular gradation pattern can be formed on the coated portion.

  Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a cosmetic applicator and a cosmetic set that can easily form a beautiful circular gradation pattern using a plurality of color powder cosmetics.

Since the coating body 4 is configured in a tapered shape, the coating body 4 is arranged side by side with the rotating coating body 4 by employing the above-described usage method. The gradation pattern X corresponding to the powder cosmetics A and B can be easily attached to the application body 4, and the application body 4 is pressed against the face W from the front end side, thereby having a light and shade in the radial direction. A circular gradation pattern Y can be easily formed on the face W. Therefore, a beautiful circular gradation pattern Y can be easily formed using the powder cosmetics A and B of a plurality of colors.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, since the application body 4 is formed from the elastic body, when the application body 4 rotates on the surface of the powder cosmetics A and B, the application body 4 is crushed and deformed in the radial direction. To do. Therefore, the gradation pattern X in which the boundary between the powder cosmetics A and B is blurred can be suitably attached to the application body 4. Further, since the application body 4 is formed of an elastic body in this way, when the application body 4 to which the gradation pattern X is attached is pressed against the face W from the front end side, the application body 4 is crushed and deformed in the axial direction. . Therefore, the gradation pattern Y with a more blurred boundary can be suitably applied to the face W, and a more beautiful circular gradation pattern Y can be formed. Moreover, since the application body 4 is crushed and deformed when the application body 4 is pressed against the face W in this way, the application feeling is good.

  6 and 7 are plan views showing other examples of the multi-color powder cosmetics of the cosmetic container.

  FIG. 6 shows an example in which the lengths of the powder cosmetics A and B are not uniform, and the powder cosmetic B is longer. Here, although the powder cosmetic B is longer, the powder cosmetic A may be longer.

  FIG. 7 shows an example in which three or more colors of powder cosmetics are arranged side by side, and four color powder cosmetics A, B, C, and D are arranged side by side. Here, although the color is lightened in the order of powder cosmetics A, C, D, and B, the arrangement order of the powder cosmetics is not limited to this. An array of body cosmetics D, C, A, B, etc. may be used. Of course, three or five or more colors may be used.
