Cosmetic Product With Indicia

Abstract

A cosmetic product is disclosed. The cosmetic product comprises a cosmetic composition having LCh values and a container. The container comprises a label with indicia. The indicia comprise numerical values that correlate to the Lightness, Chroma, and hue measurements of the LCh values for the cosmetic composition. The indicia also comprise gradient scales that provide a visual representation of the Lightness, Chroma, and hue measurements of the LCh values for the cosmetic composition.

         8 . The cosmetic product of  claim 1 , wherein the Lightness numerical value (LNV) correlates to the Lightness measurement (L) by the following formula: 
     
     
         9 . The cosmetic product of  claim 1 , wherein the gradient scales include a variety of colors. 
     
     
         10 . The cosmetic product of  claim 1 , wherein the gradient scales use only black, white and shades of gray. 
     
     
         11 . The cosmetic product of  claim 1 , wherein each gradient scale is displayed as a continuum represented by a single graphical element, a plurality of discrete graphical elements arranged in an ordered series, or combinations thereof. 
     
     
         12 . A cosmetic product comprising:
 a. a cosmetic composition intended for topical application to human skin; said cosmetic composition having LCh values,   b. a container for said cosmetic composition, said container having indicia that is in direct contact with the surface of said container, said indicia comprising:   i. a Lightness numerical value that correlates to the Lightness measurement of the LCh values for said cosmetic composition,   ii. a Chroma numerical value that correlates to the Chroma measurement of the LCh values for said cosmetic composition;   iii. a hue numerical value that correlates to the hue measurement of the LCh values for said cosmetic composition;   iv. a Lightness gradient scale with an indicator that provides a visual representation of the Lightness value of said cosmetic composition within said gradient scale;   v. a Chroma gradient scale with an indicator that provides a visual representation of the Chroma value of said cosmetic composition within said gradient scale; and   vi. a hue gradient scale with an indicator that provides a visual representation of the hue value of said cosmetic composition within said gradient scale.   
     
     
         13 . The cosmetic product of  claim 12 , wherein said Lightness numerical value is identified as a skin color value on the indicia. 
     
     
         14 . The cosmetic product of  claim 12 , wherein said Chroma numerical value is identified as a skin intensity value on the indicia. 
     
     
         15 . The cosmetic product of  claim 12 , wherein said Hue numerical value is identified as an under tone value on the indicia. 
     
     
         16 . The cosmetic product of  claim 12 , wherein the cosmetic composition is in the form of a liquid emulsion, a solid emulsion, an anhydrous liquid, an anhydrous solid, a gel, a pressed powder, or a loose powder. 
     
     
         17 . The cosmetic product of  claim 12 , wherein the cosmetic composition is a skin foundation, concealer, tinted moisturizer, or blemish treatment product. 
     
     
         18 . The cosmetic product of  claim 12 , wherein the cosmetic composition is a skin foundation product.
