DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
Traditional methods for applying make-up to the skin are limited to brushes and pads combined with the stoppers of the make-up containers.
To facilitate the application thereof by clumsy persons or persons not endowed with an aesthetic sense, the patents FR A 941 489 and FR A 1 577 258 propose guiding the pencil or other make-up application means by means of a mask suitably cut out serving as stencil. Methods using a stencil correctly define the surface of the skin to be covered but compel the user to have recourse to traditional application means, leaving to the user the choice of colours and the arrangement thereof.
A transfer method is further described, in its application to the eyelids, in the U.S. Pat. No. 3,568,684: a paper foil covered with a water washable adhesive layer receives by printing a film which carries a well defined coloured pattern to be transferred to the skin. It is damped so as to reduce the adherence between the film and the paper and the protective layer is removed which normally covers said film, which is then applied to the eyelid. It is not make-up properly speaking.
With transfer methods it is not possible to cause the contour of the coloured zones to coincide accurately with that of the eyelid or of the skin portion to be made up. Furthermore, the adhesive adheres to the skin and must be removed without damaging the pattern, which is delicate and requires the paint used to have a special composition resisting washing: so it is not a question of traditional make-up pigments.
The invention overcomes these drawbacks of known methods by using a relatively flexible pre-cut support on which powdery coloured make-up pigments or lacquers are deposited so as to form a pigmented zone having the contours of the skin portion to be made up and the distribution of the colour densities required for obtaining the final make-up effect; the adherence of the pigments with each other and with the support being weaker than their adherence to the skin so that transfer thereof to the skin takes place by simply applying the support on the skin portion to be made up.
Other features and advantages of the invention will be clear from the following description.
In the accompanying drawings:
FIG. 1 shows a make-up device in accordance with the invention, applied about the contour of an open right eye;
FIG. 2 shows schematically a make-up device intended for the left eyelid;
FIG. 3 illustrates one embodiment of a pigmented zone in which the pigments are distributed over the support in a plurality of deposition zones which partially overlap;
FIGS. 4 to 6 show the different matrices used successively for forming the deposition zones illustrated in FIG. 3;
FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the operations for manufacturing the device;
FIG. 8 shows one example of a manufacturing line;
FIGS. 9 to 11 show embodiments of the pigment supply device;
FIGS. 12 and 13 show two embodiments of the pressing device; and
FIGS. 14 to 16 show embodiments of the cutting device.
In FIG. 1, the flexible support 1 is pre-cut so as to be applied exactly about the open right eye and is covered with pigments, in regions 2 to 6, of different colours chosen as a function of the colour of the eyes and the complexion of the face.
A concentration of pigments along a line 7 gives the impression of a colour line similar to that obtained traditionally using a special pencil.
In FIG. 2, a flexible pre-cut support has been shown for application exactly on the eyelid of the closed left eye and comprises a non pigmented zone 8 and a pigmented zone 9. FIG. 3 shows that this latter is itself divided into zones of different colours A, B and C with partial overlapping AB and CB.
The support is advantageously not woven, for example formed of viscose fibres bonded chemically together by latex. Such a product is easy to cut out and has a flexibility, variable depending on the type but sufficient to exactly fit, at the time of application, to the shape of the region to be made up. It is preferably an absorbent product but one face of which is made non absorben
