Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of making up human keratinous material with light-sensitive makeup, e.g. making up the skin, lips or the integuments, in particular the nails, or the hair.
  • the final result not only depends on the quality of the products used, in particular the ingredients and the formulation techniques employed, but also on the dexterity of the user.
  • light-sensitive makeup may produce color effects that go beyond what is normally accepted for makeup. This may be any pattern imitating a conventional makeup pattern, or a text, a sign, a logo, etc.
  • Light-sensitive makeup is based on using at least one thermally stable photochromic composition that is capable of being developed by light radiation, for example UV radiation, and that retains a change in appearance linked to irradiation for at least one hour.
  • At least one thermally stable photochromic composition is deposited on the zone to be treated in the form of at least one layer.
  • the thermally stable photochromic composition When the thermally stable photochromic composition is applied, it is in the non-developed state and it may be colored or colorless, depending on the ingredients used.
  • Irradiation of the layer of thermally stable photochromic composition may be carried out selectively, by irradiating in a non-uniform manner. Thus, certain regions need not be developed while others are, and/or some regions may be developed to varying extents, leading to different intensities of colors.
  • the light energy used remains relatively low and does not cause the skin to tan.
  • the light-sensitive makeup obtained is relatively short-lasting; the sharpness of the colors tends to reduce over time, sometimes quite quickly.
  • Patent FR-A-2 780 275 describes a system with two compositions, namely the photochromic composition and the composition containing a UV screen.
  • This UV screen composition is applied as a second layer in order to produce a pattern on the thermally stable photochromic composition by a stenciling effect.
  • the UV screen does not overcome the problem of loss of sharpness of the light-sensitive makeup encountered with photochromic agents.
  • Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide a method of making up human keratinous material with light-sensitive makeup, wherein:
  • the photoprotective layer may, for example, comprise a second composition including an optical agent forming a screen to said radiation.
  • the photoprotective layer may, for example, be formed by applying a second composition, causing an optical agent present in the first composition in an inactive or in a precursor state to become active in order to screen said radiation.
  • the photoprotective layer may, for example, comprise a coating that is transparent, at least in part.
  • the radiation may be UV radiation and the photoprotective layer, in particular the optical agent, may screen the UV and/or the near UV, in particular in the range 320 nm [nanometer] to 400 nm and/or 400 nm to 440 nm.
  • the photoprotective layer may, for example, present a screening power F as regards solar UV radiation that is greater than 2 or 3, better greater than 5 or 10.
  • the photoprotective layer may cover the thermally stable photochromic composition entirely, or it may even extend beyond said composition.
  • the patterns of the light-sensitive makeup may be independent of the photoprotective layer.
  • the light-sensitive makeup look is created, and then the photoprotective layer is applied.
  • the photoprotective layer e.g. a photoprotective composition or a garment, may be applied after the first composition has dried.
  • the thermally stable photochromic composition is applied, then the photoprotective layer is applied, and then the light-sensitive makeup look is created. Under such circumstances, irradiation is stronger so as to compensate for the absorption of the radiation by the photoprotective layer.
  • the photoprotective layer is applied before the person wearing the light-sensitive makeup is exposed to outdoor light.
  • the screening power of the photoprotective layer need not be uniform, and the non-uniform screening power may advantageously be used to create esthetic effects during exposure to the radiation that develops the thermally stable photochromic composition. These effects may be variations in the intensity of the color of the photochromic agent, for example.
  • the optical agent may thus have a dual role, namely to contribute to the formation of one or more esthetic effects, and to protect the non-developed zones.
  • the light-sensitive makeup look may include patterns having an appearance that is associated both with the presence of the photoprotective layer and with the image projected on the zone being treated in order to create the light-sensitive makeup look.
  • the photoprotective layer may be applied in the form of an uniform or a non-uniform layer.
  • variations in screening power due to the variations in thickness or in concentration may advantageously be used to create esthetic effects as indicated above.
  • An intermediate layer may possibly be interposed between the layer of thermally stable photochromic composition and the layer of photoprotective composition, e.g. to improve the retention of the second layer, or, on the contrary, make it easier to remove.
  • the photochromic agent may be thermally stable.
  • the optical agent may be an optical diffusing agent, colored or colorless, or it may even be fluorescent.
  • the photoprotective layer may be arranged to screen second radiation that tends to return the photochromic agent to its non-developed state.
  • the photoprotective layer may form a peelable cohesive coating, thereby making it easy to remove.
  • the first and second layers may present ionic natures that are complementary and/or surface tensions that are complementary.
  • the additional layer including a colorant or a thermally unstable photochromic agent, for example.
  • a multi-layer film comprising a first layer of thermally stable photochromic composition and a second photoprotective layer including an optical agent forming a screen to the radiation that develops the thermally stable photochromic composition.
  • the film may be self-supporting or it may be applied by transfer.
  • kits comprising, within a single packaging:
  • the photochromic agent may be selected from diarylethenes and fulgides, the photochromic agent being capable of being developed by exposure to UV radiation, and the optical agent may form a UV screen, in particular with a screening power F as regards solar UV radiation that is 2 or more.
  • the kit may include a system that makes it possible to inform the user about the intensity of said radiation in ambient lighting. That makes it possible to select the photoprotective composition accordingly, for example.
  • the light-sensitive makeup look is created using a suitable thermally stable photochromic composition.
  • the thermally stable photochromic composition of the invention contains one or more thermally stable photochromic agents that are suitable for creating a light-sensitive makeup look, i.e. they change appearance under the influence of light radiation.
  • the thermally stable photochromic agent or agents used in the invention may, for example, be irreversible photochromic agents, i.e. once the change in appearance is obtained, it is permanent.
  • the light-sensitive makeup look may be created by progressively developing said thermally stable photochromic agent or agents by exposure to suitable radiation, for example UV and/or near UV, or by starting from a thermally stable photochromic composition comprising one or more thermally stable photochromic agents in the already developed state that are brought into a non-developed state by the application of suitable radiation, for example visible beyond near-UV.

  • the base layer may be applied well 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 to render it insoluble or nearly insoluble in the layer applied over it, as mentioned above. Further, on drying, the base layer may optionally form a relatively smooth surface, facilitating application of a layer of thermally stable photochromic composition with uniform thickness. The skin is thus smoothed, and so the second layer may be thinner and there is a reduced risk of non-uniform thickness, which might give rise to unattractive visual effects following development.
