Abstract
Tactile sensation during the application of cosmetic foundation is important factor for customer preference. In this study, we developed a system in order to measure tactile sensation during the application of cosmetic foundation. This system consists of a three axis acceleration sensor attached on finger nail and a six axis force sensor placed under the application surface. Using this system, we measured vibration and friction characteristics of three cosmetic foundations which were evaluated by professional technician of sensory evaluation. As a result, we distinguished three samples by two physical parameters during application.
