The brush 1a is used in a state where the handle portion 3 is gripped by the user's finger or the like, but from the viewpoint of easy explanation, the illustration of the user's finger is omitted in FIG. In the method of using the brush 1a, the coating portion 2 is guided to the coating start position by aligning the positioning protrusion portion 4 with a predetermined position. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2A, the positioning protrusion 4 is aligned with the position P of the outer corner of the eye. As a result, the highlight coating portion 21 is arranged in the lower region of the eye, the cheek coating portion 22 is arranged on the cheek, and the tip of the highlight coating portion 21 is arranged in the vicinity of the inner corner of the eye in the lower region. This arrangement position is the coating start position. The lower region of the eye is a region including the lower eyelid (lower eyelid), and the width direction of the eye is a direction along the direction from the vicinity of the inner corner of the eye toward the outer corner of the eye. Next, as shown in FIG. 2B, the coating portion 2 is moved along the lateral width direction of the eye in the lower region of the eye and then moved to the ear side. That is, the tip portion of the coating portion 2 is moved along the longitudinal direction X. By such an operation, a point make-up in which a cheek cosmetic and a highlight cosmetic are applied is applied to the area below the eyes.
