2. Description of the Related Art In the field of makeup, particularly in the field of make-up makeup, when selecting a cosmetic suitable for a person who makes makeup, an important factor is the shape of the face. This is because a suitable makeup method such as a make-up pattern differs depending on the shape of the face. Under such circumstances, various methods of classifying face shapes have been considered. For example, a method has been devised in which five classifications are made using the shape of the lower half of the face and the impression of the size of the eyes as indexes. However, the most problematic in such a classification method is that the physical quantity of the face must be measured when the face is specifically classified. Although there is a merit that accurate classification of faces can be accurately performed by this classification method, this operation is complicated, and the effect of this classification method may not be able to be sufficiently exhibited. In addition, the situation was similar in the selection of colors. As a means to solve this, a method of capturing and simulating video images etc. in a computer or the like has been developed, but since such equipment is expensive,
It was hard to say that everyone could use it easily. For this reason, a means for easily comparing the shape, color, and the like of the face has been required.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in such a situation, and provides a makeup method such as make-up and a means for easily comparing face shapes and colors useful for discriminating the same. The task is to

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of such circumstances, the present inventors have sought a means for easily selecting a makeup method such as make-up or the like and discriminating the makeup method, and for simply and easily comparing the shape and color of the face.
As a result of diligent research, one or two or more transparent sheets, which are selected from comparative sheets in which the shape of the face to be compared is drawn, and self-projecting means capable of attaching them. By using such a face comparison kit, they have found that such a comparison can be easily performed, and have completed the invention. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail focusing on embodiments of the present invention.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

(1) Transparent sheet used in the present invention The transparent sheet used in the present invention is characterized in that shapes of a face and the like to be compared are clearly drawn. As the material of the transparent sheet, any material can be used without particular limitation as long as it has high transparency and can transmit its own projection.
Also, the thickness can be used without any particular limitation as long as it satisfies this condition. As such a transparent sheet, for example, a polyethylene terephthalate sheet, an acrylic sheet, a polystyrene sheet or the like having a thickness of about 0.1 to 20 mm can be preferably exemplified, and among them, a thickness of 0.1 to 1 mm is preferable.
More preferably, the polyethylene terephthalate sheet can be exemplified. In the transparent sheet used in the present invention, a shape such as a face to be compared is drawn on the transparent sheet. As the shape, for example, make-up such as one or two or more face constituent parts such as face contour, eyes, nose, eyebrows, lips, etc., various hairstyles, cheek colors, eye colors, lip colors, highlights, etc. Up patterns and the like. The kit of the present invention compares the shape of the face or the like to be compared drawn on the transparent sheet with the shape of the face or the like projected by the projection means, and compares the shapes easily. is there.

(2) Self-projecting means used in the present invention The self-projecting means that can be used in the present invention is a projection that can be easily compared with the shape of a face or the like drawn on the transparent sheet for comparison. It can be used without any particular limitation. Examples of such projection means include a video image of oneself captured in a video, a self-reflection image by a reflector such as a mirror, a self-projection image of a self-projection by a slide projector, a slide projection image, and the like. Among these, a self-reflection image by a mirror is particularly preferable because of the simplicity of the apparatus. For comparison, for example, in a video image or a slide projection image, the magnification is adjusted by zooming or the like to the same size as the face or the like to be compared, and the self-reflection image by a reflector such as a mirror is Adjust the distance of the body and adjust the size of the reflected image to the size of the shape of the face etc. to be compared, or move the transparent sheet on which the shape of the face etc. to be drawn is drawn and match it to the reflected image After adjusting the size, the comparison may be performed. As a simple method, the transparent sheet and the self-projecting means can be integrated without being separated, or the shape of the face to be compared can be directly drawn on the self-projecting means, which also belongs to the face comparison kit of the present invention. However, from the viewpoint of application to various patterns, it is preferable that the transparent sheet depicting the shape of the face to be compared and the self-projecting means be separated. By making such a comparison, the comparison target and the self can be easily compared, and selection of a makeup method such as makeup and discrimination thereof can be easily performed.

EXAMPLES The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following examples, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to these examples.

<Example 1> Faces of 112 persons were averaged by computer morphing to prepare an average face. The average face was printed on B5 paper, a B5 polyethylene terephthalate sheet (for an overhead projector) was placed thereon, and the outline of the face was traced using a black felt pen. This sheet was tightly fixed to a mirror having a size of B5 to prepare a face comparison kit of the present invention. For 10 subjects selected arbitrarily, please have your face copied in this kit,
It was determined whether the width of the face with respect to the distance between the centers of the eyes was wide or narrow with respect to the average face, and whether the length of the lower half of the face with respect to the distance between the centers of the eyes was long or short. That is, the distance between the mirror and the face and the vertical and horizontal positions of the mirror are adjusted so that the eyes of the face reflected on the mirror and the center of the pupil drawn on the sheet overlap, and then the reflection image of the cheek and the sheet The cheeks of the upper image were compared, and when the cheek of the reflected image came to the outside, the face was judged to be wide, and when it was inside, the face was judged to be narrow. Also, observe the chin in the same way, and if the chin of the reflection image is lower, determine that the length of the lower lower half is longer,
If it was above, he was judged to be short. After that, a photograph of the face of the subject was taken, the physical quantity was actually calculated, and the width of the face relative to the distance between the pupil centers and the length of the lower half of the face relative to the distance between the pupil centers were determined. Table 1 shows the results of these determinations. This indicates that the result of the calculation using the kit of the present invention and the calculation of the physical quantity are in good agreement. That is, it is understood that the use of the kit of the present invention makes it possible to easily determine the face shape by itself without using expensive machines or complicated calculations.
