DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS EMBODIMENTS

[0039] With reference to the attached figures, a dynamic make-up product 1 is shown, in particular a lipstick for the lips, the color of which is modified through the application of a magnetic field generated by a wearable electronic device 3. The polarity of the magnetic force produced electronic wearable device is controlled by a computer application 2, for example an application for a Smartphone or Smartwatch.

[0040] In particular, the wearable electronic device 3 has within it a wireless communication system and a magnetic emitter activated through electromagnetism or mechanical movement. The dynamic make-up product 1 has inside colored magneto-chromatic microspheres 10 which according to the magnetic field applied to them will rotate aligning and showing the desired color.

[0041] The dynamic make-up product 1, for example a lipstick, includes in its formulation, in addition to the magneto-chromatic microspheres 10, the following components:

[0042] a base made up of waxes (to give stability, resistance and film-forming action), oils of various origins (to guarantee brightness, softness and dispersion of the pigments);

[0043] dye with natural pigments (iron oxides) or synthetic (lacquers) which give the color to the lipstick;

[0044] preservatives;

[0045] antioxidants to prevent rancidity of the oily component and perfumes;

[0046] texturizing to guarantee the sensory effect;

[0047] functional substances: moisturizing, anti-aging, increasing volume, emollient;

[0048] emulsifiers (for an aqueous base that must be combined with the oily one) The magneto-chromatic microspheres may be in the form of powder with different granulometries or in solutions stabilized in non-polar solvents. The application of the magnetic field and the relative color change takes place thanks to the charge of a surfactant (emulsifying agent) added to the non-polar solution in which the magneto-chromatic microspheres are inserted. The non-polar environment which stabilizes the magneto-chromatic microspheres is also guaranteed by the oil phase (phase A).

[0049] Example of Formulation

[0050] As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 5, the dynamic make-up product 1, for example a lipstick is made as described below. The waxes are melted together with the oils and brought to 75° C.; the rheological modifiers are dissolved or dispersed in the molten mass, then adding the emulsifier and texturizers (phase A). The pigments and the magneto-chromatic microspheres are dispersed in a fraction of the collected mass (phase B). The dispersion is immediately refined in the three cylinders machine and then joined again in the fat phase. Separately, the ingredients of the aqueous phase are weighed and brought to 75° C. At this point the aqueous phase is slowly added to the fat phase under vigorous stirring or by homogenizer. The obtained emulsion is poured into the appropriate molds and left to cool at room temperature.

[0051] Then method for the color variation of a dynamic make-up product 1 containing magneto-chromatic microspheres 10 is carried out by means of a magnetic field source, preferably wearable, in which the force of the generated magnetic field is manageable through external computer systems or a computer application to manage the polarity and intensity of the magnetic field source.

[0052] The magnetic field source can be an electronic device 3 or the casing 12 of the dynamic make-up product 1.

[0053] The method is implemented through the following steps:

[0054] apply the dynamic make-up product according to the normal methods of application of makeup,

[0055] activate a field source generating the strength of the magnetic field manageable through external IT systems

[0056] activate a computer application to manage the polarity and intensity of the magnetic field source.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 2 after applying the dynamic make-up product 1, for example a pink lipstick on the lips, this color can be modified, without having to resort to the reapplication thereof, simply by using a computer application 2 capable of interacting with a device electronic wearable 3 provided with a magnetic source which, interfering with the magneto-chromatic microspheres present in the applied dynamic make-up product 1 allows the variation of its color, in the case, for example, a red lipstick 1′.

[0058] By activating a computer application 2 present on a smartphone (see FIG. 3) or a smartwatch you can select the applied dynamic make-up product 1 and view the possible color variations of the dynamic make-up product 1. This simulates the selection of the color of the lipstick for example red, as shown in FIG. 2. The computer application will then communicate wirelessly with the wearable electronic device 3 (for example a ring, a bracelet, etc.) or directly with the casing 12 of the product, for example the one shown in FIG. 6, the intensity and the magnetic polarity to be applied to the make-up product 1 according to the color selection made on the application by the user. Approaching the wearable electronic device 3 to the make-up product 1, the magneto-chromatic microspheres 10 (as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 8) will orient themselves showing the desired color. At this point the color of the dynamic make-up product 1 will be changed with respect to that applied at the origin. The color will remain stable until the next color change desired, which can be done by going over the steps described and anyway whenever the user wants it, until the removal of the make-up itself.

[0059] Advantageously, the dynamic make-up product, once exhausted can be recharged. The refill is achieved through the use of capsules for product refills without having to change the casing of the dynamic make-up product. In particular, the different make-up products contained within the capsules with the chosen dynamic color or make-up product can be inserted inside the casing to be refilled to be used again for applying makeup. In this way, using the refills directly inserted into the casing, the problem of the formation of bacteria inside make-up products is also eliminated. In fact, by charging with the capsules, the product never comes into contact with the outside. Each capsule is sealed and is vacuum-sealed, maintaining in this way the quality and purity of the product unaltered. The deadline is indicated digitally, through a notification on the mobile device of use. Advantageously, even in this case, the color of the refill is selected and this changes the shades to create the customized color every time you want to change your make-up. Capsule refills are available in over a hundred different colors to create specific shades or color changes.

[0060] Considering, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the casing 12 to be used as a lipstick or gloss, the color contained in the refill 11, reaches the outer brush 13 of the casing through a removable washable support 14. In this way, the outer brush 13 never comes into contact with the ink inside the capsule, thus preserving the hygienic state of the ink inside the capsule itself. At the base of the support and internally, there is a sharp fixed part that is able to pierce the capsule at the time of the first insertion of the new capsule inside the base of the lip gloss. A new refill 11 can easily be inserted into the casing 12 once the previous refill has been used up.

[0061] Advantageously, the innovative casing 12, as shown in FIG. 6, is highly technological and is able to contain and manage the capsules of dynamic make-up products; in this way the color change can also take place directly inside the casing 12 itself that communicates wirelessly directly with the computer application and has inside it the magnetic field emitter, the wireless antenna and the necessary electronic components. Moreover, each casing 12 is made in the form of a parallelepiped, with all the magnetic side surfaces, so as to create all combinations of shapes comprising several parallelepiped casings joined together by the magnetic force, as schematically and exemplifying shown in FIGS. 9A, 9B and 9C. In this way it will be possible to create compositions of casings 12 which can be adapted for all the available spaces.

Furthermore, it must be understood that the embodiment or the embodiments presented are only examples that do not intend to limit in any way the scope of protection of the invention or its application or configurations. Rather, the brief description and the detailed description provide the skilled man with a convenient guide for implementing at least one exemplary embodiment, as it is clear that numerous variations can be made in the function and assembly of the elements described therein, without departing from the scope of protection of the invention as established by the attached claims and their technical-legal equivalents.
