Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To select a foundation optimum for the characteristic of skin different among persons by forming a cutout part on a part of a checker substrate for maintaining visibility to a measurement object skin, and providing a sample display part on the surface of a substrate immediately near the cutout substrate for indicating several types of representative sample photos regarding the types of the texture. SOLUTION: A part of a checker substrate 1 is provided with a cutout part so as to keep visibility to a part of the skin, when the substrate 1 is attached to the face. Also, a sample display part 4 for showing several types of representative sample photos 3a, 3b, 3c and so forth regarding the types of the texture is provided on the surface of the checker substrate 1 near the cutout part 2. In this case, the representative sample photos 3a, 3b, 3c and so forth show the texture classified, for example, into three or four grades from a delicate degree to a coarse degree. A user holds the checker substrate 1, and attaches the cutout part 2 to a position near his/her cheeks. Then, a skin status seen through the cutout part 2 is compared with the representative sample photos 3a, 3b, 3c and so forth, and one photo is selected to carry out measurements on the basis of a status reflected from a mirror 4.
