Abstract
A Method and Apparatus for Comparing Colors have been disclosed. In one implementation a compliant membrane which is substantially transparent with an area having a shade/color is placed on the user's skin to see what the shade/color will look like on the skin. In one implementation a compliant substrate which is largely transparent with an area having a shade/color is placed on an inanimate object to see how the shade/color will appear on the inanimate object without the substrate itself causing an unnecessary barrier between the inanimate object and the shade/color.
Claims1
A method for limiting the spread of pathogens when a user is trying out user applied makeup, the method comprising:
- providing the user with a comparison device having a substate imprevious to pathogens and free of any pre-defined color samples;
- the user providing a sample of the makeup on a second region of the comparison device, the comparison device having a first region, the first region of the comparison device having a first reflectivity and the first region does not contain the sample of the makeup, the second region is where the user applied the sample of the makeup and has a second reflectivity, wherein the second reflectivity is different than the first reflectivity;
- and providing the comparison device for placement proximate to a user's body part.
