Abstract
A process for making up an area of human keratin materials using a makeup device comprising a deformable substrate bearing a transfer surface intended to come into contact with the keratin materials and configured to receive a coat of cosmetic ink. The process includes the following steps: a. depositing at least one cosmetic ink onto the transfer surface by means of at least one digital printer, b. placing the transfer surface in contact with the area to be made up by mechanical action, especially by exerting a pressure on a surface opposite the transfer surface, and c. moving the transfer surface away from the area of the human keratin materials after the ink has been transferred.
Claims9
A cosmetic device for transfer makeup application on human keratin materials, the device comprising:
- an elastically deformable substrate defining a transfer surface, intended to receive a coat of cosmetic ink to be transferred by contact with the keratin materials,
- a support at least partly located opposite the transfer surface, to which is attached the substrate and against which the substrate bears at least during the transfer of the cosmetic ink onto the keratin materials,
- a system for holding the support on a digital printer, the support being configured to form, at least at the time of transfer onto the keratin materials, an imprint of the area of the keratin materials to be made up, and
- the substrate being deformable, between
- a first configuration in which the substrate is attached to the support and defines with the imprint a space, and
- a second configuration, known as the transfer configuration, in which the substrate is plated onto the imprint under the action of deformation means.
A cosmetic assembly comprising, in the same packaging, a plurality of different devices, comprising or not comprising a coat of coloring ink deposited onto a transfer surface, each according to claim 8,
- the devices differing by the form of the transfer surface intended to engage with the keratin materials and/or the form of the support and/or the chemical nature of the coat of colouring ink that they bear and/or by the pattern thereby formed on the transfer surface.
