Transfer device for making up keratin materials

A process for preparing a makeup device and for making up an area of human keratin materials using the makeup device,

• the process comprising:
• a. providing a makeup device comprising a mold having an imprint surface contoured to correspond with the area of human keratin materials and a deformable substrate attached to the mold, wherein the imprint surface and deformable substrate are spaced apart from one another, the substrate bearing a transfer surface intended to come into contact with the area of human keratin materials, and depositing at least one cosmetic ink onto the transfer surface by means of at least one digital printer,
• b. after the cosmetic ink has been deposited onto the transfer surface, deforming the deformable substrate onto the contoured imprint surface of the mold under the action of a deformation tool such that the deformable substrate conforms to the contour of the imprint surface, the deformation tool being pneumatic, hydraulic, or arranged to create a negative pressure by suction,
• c. transferring the cosmetic ink to the area of human keratin materials by placing the transfer surface, while the deformable substrate is conformed to the contoured imprint surface, in contact with the area of human keratin materials to be made up by mechanical action, and
• d. moving the makeup device away from the area of human keratin materials after the cosmetic ink has been transferred.
