In general, cosmetics, which are used to make the face of a user look beautiful, may be classified into base cosmetics, functional cosmetics and color cosmetics according to the functions.
The color cosmetics are used to beautifully adorn the skin color of a user and make a skin defect invisible, which cannot be capped with the base cosmetics, by applying the color cosmetics to a human body such as a face or nails.
In addition, the color cosmetics may protect a skin, from pollution, dust and ultraviolet rays and correct the contour of a face to give a three-dimensional effect, so that the color cosmetics are widely used.
The color cosmetics, which cap a skin defect to make skin look smooth as described above, include a powder pact. The powder pact contains powder-type contents and is used in such a manner that the powder-type contents are applied on a cosmetic portion with a puff.
However, when the powder pact is used, the powder-type contents are scattered in use and the adhesion is deteriorated when being applied on a face.
To overcome the problems described above, there has been developed a foundation having gel-type contents. The foundation cosmetic contents are prepared by mixing a color power material with components such as binder or emulsifier, melting the mixture at a predetermined temperature and cooling the melted mixture. Then, the foundation cosmetic contents are contained in a cosmetic container such as a foundation case, so that the foundation cosmetics are produced as a complete product.
One example of a foundation container according to the related art had been disclosed in Korean Registered Utility Model No. 20-0362370. As shown in FIG. 1, a foundation container according to the related art includes an inner container 1 containing a cosmetic material and provided on an outer periphery thereof with a screw, a lower container 3 inserted into a container receiving space 2 provided in the inner container 1, an upper container having an opened lower portion to be screw-coupled to a screw thread formed on an outer periphery of the lower container 3 and provided on an upper portion thereof with a puff containing space 4 in which a puff is kept, and a lid 6 hinge-coupled to a hinge formed on one side surface of the upper container 5 to be opened or closed.
However, according to the foundation container of the related art, since the cosmetic contents contained in the upper container 5 are stuck on a puff for use after the upper container 5 is separated from the lower container 3 when makeup is applied, too much cosmetics are stuck on the puff at a time.
To solve the problem, there had been disclosed a product applied by the same applicant as the present invention in Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1159877. As shown in FIG. 2, gel-type cosmetic contents are contained in a compact container 100 while being impregnated into an impregnation member 200.
However, according to the related art, since the gel-type contents impregnated into the impregnation member 200 are stuck on a puff for use, the contents, gradually move to an upper portion of the impregnation member 200 due to gravity while being used up, the contents impregnated to a lower portion of the impregnation member 200 cannot be used.
In addition, since the contents impregnated to the impregnation member 200 are used after being stuck on a puff, it is difficult for a user to arbitrarily adjust a discharge quantity of cosmetic contents.
