Abstract
The structure of eye and lashes is individual variations. Our evaluation and taste for mascara are greatly affected by that structure. It's necessary to make the system of conformity with individual eye and lashes, for the good choice of mascara.
First of all, we checked up the structure of eye and lashes, such as the number, length and direction of eyelashes, the width of eye and so on. Next, we investigated the influence in sensory evaluation and taste for mascara caused by difference of structure. Lastly, we tried to correspond to different types of mascara.
The result was that there are individual variations in the length and number of eyelashes rather than eye, no difference between men and women.
Three major items as follows were important factors of the finishing and taste of mascara. They were “the length of eyelashes”, “the amount of eyelashes” and “the width of eye”, We could classify persons into seven groups according to these three items, who evaluated four types of mascara.
In the usage test, we could select the best of four types of mascara for seven groups with different style in their eye and lashes.
