Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic determination tool that can easily and reliably select a cosmetic having a color tone suitable for a user's skin.

  When applying makeup using a cosmetic such as a foundation, it is important to select a cosmetic that matches the skin color so that the makeup does not become unnatural. Conventionally, cosmetics having a color tone that is in harmony with the skin color of the user have been selected from various color tones having different lightness and saturation.

  Conventionally, it has been considered that cosmetics of a color having a relatively strong yellow hue (yellow base) are in harmony with Japanese users in particular. However, in recent years, it has been found that there are many Japanese people who are more harmonious with cosmetics of a color (blue base) having a relatively strong bluish hue even with the same brightness and saturation.

  Therefore, in recent years, in order to select a cosmetic that is most compatible with the user, it has become important to determine a cosmetic that better matches the user among the yellow base and the blue base. As a conventional determination method, a yellow-based cosmetic and a blue-based cosmetic are each directly applied to the skin of a user, and a change in the color of the applied cosmetic after a predetermined time has elapsed is observed. A method has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP-A-2004-53573

  However, in such a conventional determination method, since it takes time to confirm a change in the color of the applied cosmetic, there is a problem that the user feels troublesome. In addition, since the determination of the discoloration of the applied cosmetic requires a high level of technology that a color analyst or the like has, it is difficult for a general user to make an appropriate determination. Furthermore, since it is necessary to actually repeat the application and removal of the cosmetic on the skin of the user, there is a concern that the determination takes time and the skin of the user is stressed.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic determination tool that can reliably determine a cosmetic that is in harmony with the skin of a user without requiring any technique. Is what you do.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured as follows.

The present invention has the following configuration to achieve such an object.
That is, the cosmetic determination tool according to the present invention includes an opening, a first coloring portion that is adjacent to the opening in plan view and displays a color of the first cosmetic, and the opening and the plan view. A determination unit having a second coloring portion that is adjacent on the upper side and displays a color of the second cosmetic, wherein the color displayed by the first coloring portion and the color displayed by the second coloring portion are: It is characterized in that the brightness and the saturation are substantially the same, and the hues related to the yellow and bluish stages are different.

  (Operation / Effect) According to this configuration, the determination unit provided in the cosmetic determination tool has an opening, and a first coloring portion and a second coloring portion adjacent to the opening. Since the opening, the first colored portion, and the second colored portion are adjacent to each other, the determination unit is applied to the user's skin to make the skin color visible through the opening, so that the skin color and the second It becomes easy to visually determine the color displayed by the one colored portion and the color displayed by the second colored portion at the same time without moving the line of sight.

  The color displayed by the first colored portion and the color displayed by the second colored portion have substantially the same lightness and saturation, and have different hues in the yellow and bluish stages. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably eliminate the influence due to the difference between the brightness and the saturation in the visual judgment. Further, it is possible to determine which of the yellow-based cosmetics having a strong yellow color and the blue-based cosmetics having a strong bluish color is more harmonious with the skin color of the user only by visually judging a plurality of adjacent colors at the same time. . Therefore, it is possible to reliably determine a cosmetic that is in harmony with the user's skin without requiring advanced technology.

  Further, in the above-described invention, a plurality of the determination units have a configuration arranged in one direction in a plan view, and the colors displayed by the first coloring units included in each of the determination units are brightness and color, respectively. It is preferable that at least one of the degrees is different, and at least one of the brightness and the saturation of the color displayed by the second colored portion of each of the determination units is different.

The colors of the first colored portions included in each of the plurality of determination units are different from each other in at least one of brightness and saturation. In addition, the colors of the first colored portions included in each of the plurality of determination units also have at least one of lightness and saturation different from each other.

  With such a configuration, it is possible to make a determination using only hue of yellowish and bluish as an index for a plurality of combination patterns related to lightness and chroma. Therefore, it is possible to more accurately determine which of the yellow-based cosmetics and the blue-based cosmetics matches the skin color of the user.

  In the above-described invention, it is preferable that the first colored portion and the second colored portion are movable in directions separated from each other in a plan view.

  (Operation / Effect) According to this configuration, since the first colored portion and the second colored portion can be moved in directions away from each other in a plan view, the movement appropriately changes the size and shape of the opening. it can. That is, by appropriately moving the first colored portion and the second colored portion in the separating direction according to the determination condition, the opening, the first colored portion, and the second colored portion can be visually determined simultaneously. The size of the opening can be adjusted. As a result, a cosmetic that matches the skin color of the user can be more suitably determined.

  Further, in the above-described invention, it is preferable that each of the first colored portion and the second colored portion is sealed with a transparent material that prevents discoloration.

  (Operation / Effect) According to this configuration, each of the first colored portion and the second colored portion is sealed with a transparent material for preventing discoloration, so that the cosmetic determination tool is used for a long time. Also, it is possible to prevent the cosmetic determination from being inaccurate due to the discoloration of the first colored portion and the second colored portion. Therefore, it is possible to provide a cosmetic determination tool that can withstand long-term use.

  In the above-described invention, it is preferable that the determination unit is made of a flexible material that deforms according to the shape of the skin.

  (Operation / Effect) According to this configuration, since the determination unit is made of a flexible material that is deformed according to the shape of the skin, the cosmetic determination tool can be suitably applied to the skin even for a portion having a lot of irregularities. Can be in close contact. Therefore, the number of body parts to which the cosmetic determination tool can be more suitably applied increases, so that the versatility of the cosmetic determination tool can be further improved.

<Description of Overall Configuration>
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The cosmetic determination tool 1 according to the embodiment includes one or two or more determination units 2. In the present embodiment, a configuration in which three determination units 2 are arranged in a predetermined direction will be described as an example. As shown in FIG. 1, each of the three determination units 2 is specified by reference numerals 2a to 2c.

  Each of the determination units 2 includes an opening 3, a first sample 4, and a second sample 5, as shown in FIG. The opening 3 is formed in a region including an adjacent portion between the first sample portion 4 and the second sample portion 5. That is, the opening 3 is configured to straddle the first sample section 4 and the second sample section 5. The portion where the opening 3 and the first sample portion 4 are adjacent to each other is referred to as a first adjacent portion 6, and the portion where the opening 3 and the second sample portion 5 are adjacent to each other is a second adjacent portion 7.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, reference numerals 4a to 4c are assigned to the first sample units 4 provided in each of the determination units 2a to 2c, and each of the second sample units 5 is assigned. Are distinguished by adding reference numerals 5a to 5c. Similarly, the first adjacent portions 6 in each of the determination units 2a to 2c are distinguished by attaching reference numerals 6a to 6c, and the second adjacent portions 7 are assigned by attaching reference numerals 7a to 7c.

  FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. Each of the first sample portion 4 and the second sample portion 5 is formed on a base material 8 on which the opening 3 is formed. Each of the first sample parts 4 is constituted by a yellow-based cosmetic Y, and each of the second sample parts 5 is constituted by a blue-based cosmetic Z. The cosmetics Y constituting each of the first sample units 4a to 4c are distinguished as cosmetics Ya to Yc, respectively. In addition, the cosmetics constituting each of the second sample units 5a to 5c are distinguished as cosmetics Za to Bc, respectively.

  In the same determination unit 2, the cosmetic Y constituting the first sample section 4 and the cosmetic Z constituting the second sample section 5 have substantially the same lightness and saturation of each color, but have the same hue. Cosmetics with different yellow or bluish stages are used. As an example, the cosmetics Ya and the cosmetics Za have substantially the same lightness and saturation, while the cosmetics Ya are cosmetics having a hue that is more yellow than the cosmetics Za. It is a cosmetic with a strong bluish hue. Similarly, the cosmetics Yb and Zb, and the cosmetics Yc and Zc have substantially the same lightness and chroma, but have different yellow and bluish hues.

  Each of the cosmetics Ya to Yc is a yellow-based cosmetic having at least one of lightness and saturation different from each other. Each of the cosmetics Za to Bc is a blue-based cosmetic having at least one of lightness and saturation different from each other. In the present embodiment, by using the three determination units 2a to 2c, it is possible to determine which of the yellow and blue bases is more harmonious with respect to three types of the combination patterns of the brightness and the saturation.

  The first sample section 4 corresponds to a first colored section in the present invention, and the second sample section 5 corresponds to a second colored section in the present invention. Each of the cosmetics Y corresponds to a first cosmetic in the present invention, and each of the cosmetics Z corresponds to a second cosmetic in the present invention.

  The constituent material of the base material 8 is not particularly limited, but is preferably a material having a small effect on the colors of the cosmetic Y and the cosmetic Z. As an example of the constituent material, a transparent resin film or gel film, a paper or a plastic plate having high whiteness, and the like can be given.

  Further, the constituent material of the base material 8 is more preferably a flexible material having flexibility. When the base material 8 has flexibility, the cosmetic determination tool 1 can be deformed according to the shape of the user's skin. Therefore, the compatibility between the color of the cosmetic and the color of the skin can be better determined by appropriately bringing the cosmetic determination tool 1 into close contact with the skin of the user.

<Description of mode of use>
Here, a description will be given of an embodiment in which the cosmetics determination tool 1 according to the embodiment is used to determine whether the cosmetics compatible with the user are a yellow base or a blue base.

  When using the cosmetics determination tool 1, the cosmetics determination tool 1 having a sheet shape as a whole is placed on a part of the body or face of the user. As an example, as shown in FIG. 3, the cosmetic determination tool 1 is arranged on the left inner arm L. By arranging the cosmetic determination tool 1 on the body, the skin color of the user can be visually recognized through each of the openings 3.

  In each of the determination units 2 constituting the cosmetic determination tool 1, the opening 3 has a first sample unit 4 formed of a yellow-based cosmetic Y and a second sample formed of a blue-based cosmetic Z. It is adjacent to each of the headquarters 5. That is, the user observes the skin color visually recognized through the opening 3 and the color of the first sample unit 4 (color of the cosmetic Y) at the same time, so that the color of the skin and the color of the cosmetic Y are compared. Determine compatibility. Then, by simultaneously observing the skin color visually recognized through the opening 3 and the color of the second sample portion 5 (the color of the cosmetic Z), the compatibility between the skin color and the color of the cosmetic Z is determined. I do.

  Specifically, the colors adjacent to each other at the first adjacent portion 6 which is the boundary between the opening 3 and the first sample portion 4 and the second adjacent portion 7 which is the boundary between the opening portion 3 and the second sample portion 5. Influence each other. Then, the colors produced as a result of the influence, that is, the color mixture, appear to the human eye. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, in the first adjacent portion 6 and in a region D near the first adjacent portion 6 in the opening 3, the skin color of the user and the color of the cosmetic Y affect each other. The resulting mixed color P is projected to the eyes of the judge. Similarly, in the second adjacent portion 7 and the region E which is a region in the vicinity of the second adjacent portion 7 in the opening 3, the color of the user's skin and the color of the cosmetic material Z influence each other, and the mixed color Q is reduced. It is projected.

  On the other hand, the judge can visually recognize the skin color of the user in the area A near the center of the opening 3. Further, in the area B of the first sample section 4 away from the area D, the color of the cosmetic Y can be visually recognized. Then, in the area C of the second sample section 5 away from the area E, the color of the cosmetic Z can be visually recognized. By visually recognizing each of the regions A to E, the determiner can compare the user's skin color, the color of the cosmetic Y, the color of the cosmetic Z, and the mixed colors P and Q. Then, the determiner determines which of the cosmetic Y and the cosmetic Z is more harmonious with the skin color of the user by comparing and examining the respective colors.

  The determiner determines, for each of the determination units 2 constituting the cosmetic determination tool 1, the compatibility of the user's skin color with the cosmetic Y and the cosmetic Z, in which the brightness and the saturation are substantially the same color. That is, by visually recognizing each of the regions A to E in the determination unit 2a, it is determined which of the cosmetic Ya and the cosmetic Za matches the skin color of the user.

  Then, by visually checking each of the areas A to E in the determination unit 2b, the compatibility with the cosmetic Yb and the cosmetic Zb is determined. Similarly, the compatibility with the cosmetic Yc and the cosmetic Zc is determined by visually recognizing each of the regions A to E in the determination unit 2c.

  Specifically, since yellow and blue have a complementary color relationship, when a strong yellowish color and a strong bluish color interact with each other, the complementary color gives a strong gray hue. Therefore, as an example, when the skin color of the user has a property that does not match the yellow base, the mixed color P generated in the region D due to the complementary color between the color of the highly yellowish cosmetic Y and the skin color of the user is It appears as a strong, dull color of gray to the judge's eyes.

  On the other hand, the blue-based cosmetic Z matches the skin color of the user. Therefore, the color of the cosmetic B having a strong bluish color is close to the hue of the skin of the user (the complementary color relationship is weak), so that the mixed color Q generated in the area E shines without dullness to the eyes of the judge. It is reflected as the user's original skin color.

  Therefore, in the determination unit 2, when the mixed color P is reflected as a more dull skin color out of the mixed color P and the mixed color Q, and the mixed color Q is reflected as a shiny skin color, the cosmetic Z Can be determined to be more compatible with the skin of the user. On the other hand, when the mixed color Q appears as a dull skin color and the mixed color P appears as a shiny skin color, the cosmetic Y is more compatible with the user's skin than the cosmetic Z. Can be determined.

  When it is determined that the colors of the cosmetics Ya to Yc are more compatible with the skin color of the user as a result of the determination performed on each of the determination units 2, a yellow-based cosmetic is used for the skin of the user. Are determined to be more harmonious. On the other hand, when it can be determined that the cosmetics Za to Zc have more compatible colors, it is determined that the blue-based cosmetic is more harmonious with the user's skin.

  As described above, the cosmetic determination tool 1 according to the example includes one or more determination units 2 each including the opening 3 and the first sample unit 4 and the second sample unit 5 adjacent to the opening 3. ing. The first sample section 4 displays the color of the yellow-based cosmetic Y, and the second sample section 5 displays the color of the blue-based cosmetic Z. In the same determination unit 2, the color of the cosmetic Y and the color of the cosmetic Z have substantially the same lightness and saturation, but have different hues related to the yellowish and bluish stages.

  For this reason, the determination unit 2 is applied to the skin so that the skin color can be visually recognized through the opening 3, so that the opening 3, the first sample 4, and the second sample 5 can be seen at a glance. Can be easily compared with the colors of the cosmetics Y and Z. Therefore, based on the determination result, the user can easily determine which of the yellow-based cosmetic and the blue-based cosmetic is more harmonious with ordinary people.

  As an example, the determination unit 2a determines the compatibility of the combination of the color of the cosmetic material Ya with the color of the cosmetic material Za, which differs only in the hue of yellow and bluish, with the color of the skin of the user. Since the color of the cosmetic Y and the color of the cosmetic Z in the same determination unit have substantially the same lightness and saturation, the determination can be performed using only the yellow and bluish hues as indices.

  The cosmetic determination tool 1 has a configuration in which a plurality of determination units 2 are connected. Cosmetics Y arranged in each determination unit 2 differ in at least one of lightness and chroma. That is, by using the plurality of determination units 2, it is possible to perform determination using only the hue of yellowish and bluish as an index for a plurality of combinations of lightness and chroma. Therefore, it is possible to more accurately determine, from the yellow base and the blue base, a cosmetic that matches the skin of the user.

  Further, since a plurality of cosmetics Y and Z are adjacent to each other in a plan view with respect to the combination pattern of the brightness and the saturation, the cosmetics of the plurality of combination patterns can be visually recognized at the same time. Therefore, when judging whether the user's skin tends to harmonize with many yellow-based cosmetics or blue-based cosmetics, a plurality of scale-like samples are combined. It is possible to avoid performing a troublesome operation such as a turning operation one by one.

  The opening 3 provided in the determination unit 2 is formed in a region including an adjacent portion between the first sample unit 4 and the second sample unit 5. That is, since the opening 3, the first sample 4, and the second sample 5 are configured to be close to each other, it is easy to visually recognize the opening 3, the first sample 4, and the second sample 5 at the same time. It becomes. As a result, the color of the user's skin, the color of the cosmetic Y and the color of the cosmetic Z, and the colors of the mixed colors P and Q can be simultaneously viewed without moving the line of sight. When judging cosmetics, the judge can be prevented from getting tired.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but can be modified as follows.

  (1) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, each determination unit 2 may be configured so that the first sample unit 4 and the second sample unit 5 can be slid in a direction away from each other. In the cosmetic determination tool 1A according to the modified example, as shown in each drawing of FIG.

  By moving the base material 8 along a rail (not shown) provided on the connection portion 9, the first sample portion 4 and the second sample portion 5 can move in directions away from each other. The configuration in which the connecting portion 9 is provided is an example of the modified example, and the configuration of the cosmetic determination tool 1A is appropriately changed as long as the first sample portion 4 and the second sample portion 5 are movable. Good.

  In such a modified example (1), when the first sample portion 4 and the second sample portion 5 slide, the cosmetic determination tool 1A has a relatively narrow opening 3 (closed state: FIG. a)) to a relatively wide state (open state: FIG. 6B). By adjusting the closed state and the open state in this way, the shape and width of the opening 3 can be changed as appropriate. Each figure in FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view along line AA of the cosmetics determination tool 1A. FIG. 5 shows a plan view of the cosmetic determination tool 1A in the open state.

  Further, by opening the opening 3 by sliding, the area of the first adjacent portion 6 and the second adjacent portion 7 can be made larger. That is, in the open state, the area D in which the mixed color P can be visually recognized and the area E in which the mixed color Q can be visually recognized become wider, so which of the yellow-based cosmetic Y and the blue-based cosmetic Z is a more compatible cosmetic? Can be determined more easily and reliably.

  Also, by appropriately adjusting the distance M that the first sample unit 4 and the second sample unit 5 slide, the region A where the user's skin color can be visually recognized, the region D where the mixed color P can be visually recognized, and the mixed color Q can be set. Since the distance to the visible region E can be adjusted as appropriate, the compatibility of the cosmetic can be more appropriately determined without moving the line of sight.

  In the modification (1), the configuration for adjusting the size of the opening 3 is not limited to the configuration in which the first sample unit 4 and the second sample unit 5 are slid. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the first sample part 4 and the second sample part 5 are xy around a fixing part 10 for connecting and fixing a part of the first sample part 4 and a part of the second sample part 5. It may be configured to rotate and move in directions away from each other along a plane. As described above, even with the configuration in which the opening 3 is appropriately switched from the closed state (upper part in FIG. 7) to the open state (lower part in FIG. 7) by the rotational movement, the size and shape of the opening 3 can be appropriately changed.

As a configuration of such a modified example, a configuration in which sealing is performed by pouch processing or the like is given.

  In such a modified example (2), as a constituent material of the base material 8, a resin film or the like that can prevent the influence of air or moisture on the first sample portion 4 and the second sample portion 5 is preferable. In a configuration in which such materials are used for sealing, even when cosmetics actually used, such as a foundation, are used as the constituent materials of the first sample portion 4 and the second sample portion 5, the cosmetics used are air. It is possible to preferably avoid discoloration / deterioration due to touch.

  (3) In the above-described embodiment, the yellow-based cosmetic Y itself is used as the constituent material of the first sample section 4, but the first sample section 4 has the same color as the color of the yellow-based cosmetic Y. A configuration in which a material is applied may be used. Similarly, the second sample section 5 may be configured to apply a material of the same color as the blue-based cosmetic Z. If the first sample section 4 and the second sample section 5 are configured to be applied in the same color as the cosmetic without using the cosmetic itself, discoloration due to deterioration of the cosmetic can be avoided, so that the use for a longer period of time can be avoided. Can be provided.

  (4) In the above embodiment, the shape of the opening 3 is not limited to a circle, but may be another shape such as an ellipse or a polygon. Further, a configuration having a plurality of openings 3 may be employed. Further, the number of openings 3 provided in each of the determination units 2 is not limited to one, and a plurality of openings 3 may be provided.

  (5) In the above-described embodiment, the first sample unit 4 is configured to have a yellow-based color, but the first sample unit 4 is set to a blue-based color, and the second sample unit 5 is set to a yellow-based color. You may comprise so that it may become.
