This study aimed to investigate differences in the purchasing patterns of and the levels of satisfaction with cosmetic products, and the method of disposing dissatisfied cosmetics for female university students among China, Japan and Korea. Survey was conducted with 1,200 female coeducational university students in Beijing, Tokyo and Seoul and 1,115 were used for the data analysis. Data were analysed by frequency analysis, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, chi-square analysis, analysis of variance, Duncan's Multiple Range test. The results showed significant differences in purchasing behaviors in China, Japan and Korea. Japanese students mainly got information through objective sources, while Koreans did so through human network. Regrading the evaluative criteria for basic care items, function and effect were the most important criteria for Chinese and Korean consumers and skin compatibility for Japanese. For color make-up, Chinese, Japanese and Korean respondents respectively cared the most on brand image, convenience of purchase and the current trend. Chinese tended to shop cosmetics at department stores due to store reputation, Japanese preferred supermarkets and pharmacies and Koreans shopped at discount stores for low price. The most influential human sources were friends and colleagues for Chinese and Korean, and models on advertisements and magazines for Japanese. Korean respondents displayed the highest level of satisfaction with cosmetics followed by Japanese and Chinese. As for the methods of disposing dissatisfactory cosmetics, Chinese were the most active in exchanging for other product; Japanese and Korean were not likely to use or throw the products away.

화장품의 관능평가는 크게 분석형 관능평가와 기호형 관능평가로 나눌 수 있으며 본 보고에서는 메이컵 화장단계 중에 사용되는 파운데이션의 분석형 관능평가를 통해 파운데이션 사용 시 느껴지는 관능적 특성 용어의 도출과 정의를 내린 후 실제 소비자들을 통해 여러 가지의 파운데이션을 사용하면서 느껴지는 관능적 특성 강도 및 그에 따른 선호도 등을 기호형 관능평가로 수행하여 파운데이션 사용 시에 만족 및 불만족 요인으로 작용하는 관능속성 및 주요요인들을 분석하였다. 그 결과 파운데이션의 관능속성 평가의 주요인은 커버력 요인과 화장상태 요인으로 나타났으며 밀착감과 화장지속력, 화장상태의 자연스러움이 제품의 선호도와 가장 큰 상관관계를 보였다. 이와 같이 파운데이션에 대한 관능속성과 만족도를 결합하져 소비자가 선호하는 관능속성의 제품을 설계하고 평가할 수 있는 관능적 평가방법을 개발하여 제품개발에 활용하였다.

This study is to contribute to the policy decision of cosmetic industry through analyzing marketing mix factors which affects customers' buying intention. For this study, marketing mix factors that impact on cosmetic customers purchasing intention were collected and chi-square independence analysis of SPSS and qualitative analysis technology of Kano & Timko were used. Analysis reached one conclusion, which factors were maximizing customers satisfaction, shows the price discount policy and recommendation from family and colleague. Product's effectiveness, usefulness and skin compatibility were rated as an one-dimensional quality as those factors were linearly affected when customers needs were satisfied. However product's containers, package design, colors, brand reputation, low and middle price, distribution channel and advertising medias were investigated as an indifferent quality and they were rated as low satisfaction/dissatisfaction coefficient of Timko. Therefore they do not need to invest to those factors too much budget for attaining customers' buying intention.
