  • Publication number: 20160316892
    Abstract: The present invention relates to 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.

  • Publication number: 20160316886
    Abstract: The invention relates to a makeup device comprising a substrate defining a printing surface having at least one region printed with at least one coloring dye layer to be applied onto human keratinous material. The at least one coloring dye has been deposited, via printing, onto the printing surface by at least one printer, particularly a digital printer; is not covered by an adhesive; and produces after application onto the keratinous material, at least one visible optical effect, namely color and/or sheen.

  • Patent number: 9332819
    Abstract: This applicator comprises an application surface (16), the application surface (16) having a central region (22) and a peripheral contour line (24) analogous to the contour of the lips of a human being. The central region (22) and the peripheral line (24) being intended to receive the cosmetic product. The peripheral line (24) comprises preferred means (26) for application of the cosmetic product on the lips of the user for applying, opposite the peripheral line (24), a surface mass of cosmetic product that is greater than the surface mass applied opposite the central region (22).

  • Publication number: 20150278686
    Abstract: It is disclosed a method comprising obtaining a target spectrum, obtaining a set of non-target spectra, the set of non-target spectra comprising one or more non-target spectra, summing the target spectrum and the set of non-target spectra to obtain a mixture spectrum, and training an artificial neural network by using the mixture spectrum as input of the neural network and by using a spectrum which is based on the target spectrum as desired output of the artificial neural network.

  • Publication number: 20140345639
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for making up the skin, including the step that consists in forming, on a deposit of a foundation composition applied to the skin, a discontinuous deposit of islets of corrective composition and/or a deposit of corrective composition including visible substances that give it an inhomogeneous appearance, said corrective composition having optical properties that locally modify the appearance of the makeup so as to create a pattern reproducing the appearance of skin relief and/or colour heterogeneities.

  • Patent number: 8686270
    Abstract: At an apparatus (200), which may be a consumer electronic device, the user may select a predetermined number of different music attributes (Attr) descriptive of a mood delivered by music represented by music content of a music file. From parameters of a music file available in the apparatus (200), the apparatus (200) determines a first vector (m1(Dat)) descriptive of a relationship between the music content and all selected music attributes (Attr) and a second vector (m2(Dat)) and outputs a classification information related to the music file and containing the first and second vectors (m1(Dat), m2(Dat)). The classification information may be used to assign a colour to a displayed object assigned to the music file. Perceptually similar music files may be displayed in similar colours.
