Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
[0001] The present invention relates to a method of applying makeup to a natural surface, such as the skin, the nails, hair, or the lips, or to an artificial surface, such as false nails, and it also relates to a kit for implementing such a method. [0002] A need exists to benefit from novel appearance effects in the field of makeup and the invention seeks to satisfy that need. A Method of Applying Makeup [0003] According to one of its aspects, the invention provides a method of applying makeup to keratinous substances, in particular the skin, the lips, the nails, or hair, the method comprising the following steps: [0004] depositing at least one cosmetic composition on the surface to be made up, the cosmetic composition comprising: [0005] at least one body that presents non-zero magnetic susceptibility and that is movable under the effect of a magnetic field; and [0006] at least one diffractive pigment; and [0007] exposing at least part of the composition to a magnetic field, so as to modify the orientation and/or displace at least some of the magnetic bodies. [0008] The magnetic bodies may be different from the diffractive pigment, or, in a variant, the diffractive pigment may constitute all or some of the magnetic bodies. [0009] When the magnetic bodies contribute color, a change in their orientation under the effect of the magnetic field may lead to a change in the appearance of the composition. [0010] When the magnetic bodies are displaced, the shape of the deposit of composition may be affected, thereby enabling a portion in relief to be created, for example. [0011] The composition need not be exposed to the magnetic field while the composition is being applied. The magnetic field may be exerted after the composition has been applied. [0012] The magnetic field may be applied so as to form at least one pattern on the composition, said pattern being linked to the shape of the field lines, for example. [0013] The invention thus makes it possible to create novel makeup effects with a cosmetic composition, enabling patterns in relief to be produced, for example, or imparting an impression of relief or various other possibly geometrical patterns. [0014] The magnetic field may also be applied so as to model the clarity and/or the color of at least a region of the face or of the body to which the composition has been applied. [0015] For example, when the cosmetic composition is a foundation, orienting the magnetic bodies under the effect of the magnetic field makes it possible to modify the clarity of the composition and thus to model the appearance of the face in the regions exposed to the magnetic field, in particular so as to apply makeup of cameo type, without sharp transitions between the light regions and the dark regions if so desired. By way of example, the magnetic field may be applied so as to darken the sides of the face, so as to make it appear thinner than it really is. [0016] In an implementation of the invention, a layer of a second cosmetic composition is applied to the first containing the magnetic bodies with a view to obtaining a depth, gloss, smoothness, or other effect, for example. The second composition may be transparent and may optionally be colored. By way of example, the second composition may be for application to the lips or to the nails. The second composition may also be applied to the surface before the first composition, so as to create a colored base, or so as to improve the retention and/or the comfort of the first composition, for example. [0017] The magnetic field may be applied until the composition containing the magnetic bodies obtains a fixed appearance, i.e. the appearance of said composition ceases to vary even if the magnetic field continues to exist. In a variant, the magnetic field may be applied for a period of time that is shorter than the period of time that causes all of the magnetic bodies in the exposed region to be permanently displaced and/or oriented. [0018] Since the clarity and/or the color of the first composition change progressively under the effect of the magnetic field, the user can stop subjecting the magnetic bodies to the field when the first composition presents the desired appearance. [0019] The magnetic field may be exerted successively on different regions of the surface that are coated with the composition. [0020] The magnetic field may be exerted on regions of the surface that are disjoint, so as to create separate patterns, for example. [0021] A region of the surface coated with the composition need not be exposed to the magnetic field, so as not to modify the appearance of the composition in said region after it has been deposited. [0022] Two regions of the surface may be exposed unequally to the magnetic field. [0023] The composition may be applied in various ways, e.g. by means of a cosmetics applicator that is preferably non-magnetic and that is selected from brushes, flocked endpieces, foams, woven fabrics, non-woven fabrics, brushes, or combs, for example, or it may be applied without using an applicator, with the composition being spread on with the fingers, or sprayed on, for example. [0024] In an implementation of the invention, the composition is applied to the surface through a perforated mask. This makes it possible to produce a predetermined pattern corresponding to the shape of the perforation, for example. At least one region of the surface covered in the first composition may then be exposed to the magnetic field. [0025] After a given drying time, the composition may take on a state that prevents the magnetic bodies from further changing their orientation under the effect of a magnetic field. This applies to a nail varnish, for example. In some circumstances, the orientation of the magnetic particles may also be modified at any time, in particular when the first composition does not dry, or presents a very long drying time. This may apply to a foundation, for example. [0026] The magnetic bodies may be presented in various forms.
