CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION 
     The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) to Korean patent application number 10-2019-0109631 filed on Sep. 4, 2019 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. 
     BACKGROUND 
     1. Technical Field 
     Various embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a cosmetic container, and more particularly, to a cosmetic container, which has an improved opening and closing structure, thus improving convenience of use. 
     2. Related Art 
     Generally, cosmetics, such as foundation or sun block, which are widely used, are utilized to realize the effects of protecting the skin, making a person look more attractive, and reducing wrinkles. A user may use a method of absorbing cosmetics in a puff and then applying the cosmetics to the skin. A cosmetic container that accommodates the cosmetics and the puff may be commonly referred to as a compact type cosmetic container. 
     That is, the compact type cosmetic container may be sold with a makeup tool such as the puff as well as the cosmetics being accommodated therein. Therefore, in order to use the cosmetics, a user opens a lid to take the puff out from the cosmetic container. Then, the user makes the puff come into contact with the cosmetics with the user&#39;s finger being fitted into an elastic strap or the like provided on the puff to apply a predetermined amount of cosmetics to the puff. 
     The compact type cosmetic container usually includes a main body that accommodates the cosmetics, and a cover that covers the main body. Further, as disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-1906821, a hinge structure is provided on a rear surface of the main body to couple the main body to the cover, and an opening and closing means (locker) including a button is provided on an opposite side of the hinge structure, thus obtaining an opening and closing structure. 
     Such a structure is used from the past to the present. 
     SUMMARY 
     Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a cosmetic container, which is improved in a hinge structure and an opening and closing structure, thus securing an additional space and improving convenience of use.

     The main body may include a support groove that is concavely formed from the first side of the main body to a second side thereof. 
     The support groove may be formed to correspond to a rear end of the cover, so that the cover may maintain an angle from 110 degrees to 130 degrees with the main body in a state where the cover is rotated to open an interior of the main body. 
     When the cover is opened, an edge of an upper surface of the cover may come into contact with an end of the support groove. The hinge part may include an inclined surface that is inclined towards a front in a direction from top to bottom, so that the rear end of the cover may guide or may not interfere with the cover along an opening course. 
     A lower end of the hinge part extending from the main body may be provided in front of the support groove. 
     The cosmetic container may further include an applicator detachably provided on a lower portion of the main body. 
     The cosmetic container may further include a band coupled to a central portion of an outside of the main body, or coupled to a front portion or a rear portion that is eccentric from the central portion, and rotatably provided, so that the band may be in contact with a side of the main body, or may be rotated to form a space from a bottom surface of the main body. 
     The cosmetic container may further include a storage container defining a receiving space to store the cosmetics therein, and including a lid that is hingedly coupled to open or close the receiving space. The main body may include a receiving depression to receive a hinge coupling structure of the storage container. 
     The receiving depression may be a pair of receiving depressions provided on left and right sides of the main body, respectively, thus allowing a position of the hinge coupling structure of the storage container to be optionally changed. 
     The storage container may include a hinge part hingedly coupling the lid thereto, and received in any one of the receiving depressions provided in the main body; and a protrusion received in the remaining one of the receiving depressions provided in the main body. 
     The main body may be formed to be penetrated from top to bottom, and may include a first thread formed on an inner circumference thereof, and the cosmetic container may further include a storage container that includes a second thread formed on an outer circumference thereof to engage with the first thread, so that the storage container may be coupled to the main body, thus defining a receiving space to store the cosmetics therein. 
     The cosmetic container may further include a storage container defining a receiving space to store the cosmetics therein, and protruding downwards from the main body to form a step with respect to the main body; and an auxiliary container having at least one auxiliary space, and detachably provided on the step of the storage container. 
     The auxiliary container may be coupled to the storage container by fitting, and may include an auxiliary lid provided on a top of the auxiliary container to open or close the auxiliary space. 
     Either of the storage container or the main body may include a first magnet, and the auxiliary container may include metal or a second magnet that is magnetically coupled to the first magnet, so that the auxiliary container may be magnetically coupled to either of the storage container or the main body. 
     The auxiliary container may have a shape of a ring surrounding an outside of the storage container, and may be magnetically coupled at an upper end thereof to the main body. The main body may include the first magnet that is interiorly provided on the opposite side of the hinge part, so that a lower portion of the first magnet may be magnetically coupled to the auxiliary container, and an upper portion of the first magnet may be magnetically coupled to the cover.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     The above and other objects, advantages, and features of the present disclosure will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the present specification, it should be noted that the same reference numerals are used to denote the same components throughout different drawings. In the following description, the detailed description of known functions and configurations that may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present disclosure will be omitted. 
     Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 
       FIGS.  1  to  5    are diagrams illustrating a cosmetic container in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure,  FIGS.  6 A and  6 B  to  FIG.  9    are diagrams illustrating a hinge part of the cosmetic container in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure, and  FIGS.  10  and  11    are diagrams illustrating a storage container of the cosmetic container in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. 
     Furthermore,  FIGS.  12  and  13    are diagrams illustrating a coupling relationship between a main body and a storage container of the cosmetic container in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure, and  FIG.  14    is a diagram illustrating an auxiliary container of the cosmetic container in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. 
     Moreover,  FIGS.  15  and  16    are diagrams illustrating a band provided on the cosmetic container in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure,  FIG.  17    is a diagram illustrating an applicator of the cosmetic container in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure, and  FIG.  18    is a diagram conceptually illustrating a state in which a hair band is mounted on the cosmetic container in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. 
     Referring to  FIGS.  1  to  18   , a cosmetic container  100  in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a main body  110 , a storage container  120 , a cover  130 , a hinge part  140 , an auxiliary container  150 , a band  160 , and an applicator  170 . 
     The main body  110  may define the appearance of a lower portion of the cosmetic container  100 , may be magnetically coupled to a cover  130  on an opposite side of the hinge part  140 , and may store cosmetics therein. For example, the storage container  120  in which the cosmetics are directly accommodated or stored may be provided to store the cosmetics, and a support groove  111  may be formed. According to an embodiment/modification, a first magnet  112  may be provided in the main body, and a first thread (not shown) and a receiving depression  113  may be formed on the main body. 
     For example, when the main body  110  directly accommodates the cosmetics, the main body  110  may have a top-open container structure that is opened at a top thereof and closed at a bottom thereof. Even when the storage container  120  is accommodated in the main body  110 , the main body  110  may have the top-open container structure. However, when the storage container  120  is separately accommodated in the main body  110 , in order to reduce the entire thickness of the cosmetic container  100 , namely, to prevent a thickness from being increased by a bottom surface of the main body  110 , the main body  110  may have a top and bottom open container structure that is penetrated from top to bottom. 
     Here, cosmetics may be liquid cosmetics, for example, facial cosmetics covering the user&#39;s facial skin, such as foundation or sun block, or body cosmetics, such as body sun block. However, the viscosity and kind of the cosmetics are not limited thereto. The cosmetics stored in the main body  110  may have various types including compressed powder, such as solid powder, or liquid materials having high viscosity, so that the cosmetics are not limited to specific cosmetics. In addition, the cosmetics may be applied to a tool such as a puff (not shown) (the tool may be stored in a lid of the storage container  120  that will be described below) or a separate applicator  170  or  171  that will be described below, and then transferred to a user&#39;s face. 
     Moreover, as illustrated in  FIGS.  3  to  6   , the support groove  111  of the main body  110  may be formed in a first side (upper surface) of the main body  110  to be concave towards a second side. For example, the support groove  111  may correspond to a rear end of the cover  130  to maintain an angle from 110 degrees to 130 degrees with the main body  110  in a state where the cover  130  is rotated to open the interior of the main body  110 . Thus, when the cover  130  has a circular shape, the support groove  111  may be formed as a curved concave groove (see  FIG.  3   ). 
     In other words, the cover  130  does not interfere with the main body  110  at the top of the main body  110 , thus allowing the cover to be completely tilted back. Or, the cover interferes with the flat upper surface of the main body  110 , thus preventing the cover from being erected at an angle of 90 degrees with the main body  110 . Thus, the cover  130  may be supported at the angle ranging from 110 to 130 degrees that are easy for a user to see the mirror  131 . 
     This may be realized in the following manner: while the cover  130  pivoting about the main body  110  is tilted at a predetermined angle (110 degrees to 130 degrees) through a concave area of the support groove  111  relative to a structure of the main body  110  that comes into contact with the support groove  111  formed in an end of the main body  110  to be flat, namely, the cover  130  is tilted at an angle that is larger than 90 degrees by an inclined section of the support groove  111 , a surface of the support groove  111  may form a support surface of the cover  130 . 
     Therefore, when the cover  130  is opened, an edge of the upper surface of the cover  130  may come into contact with an end of the support groove  111  (see  FIGS.  2 ,  5 ,  7 , and  8   ,  FIG.  5    shows the support groove in a state where the cover  130  is not completely tilted), so that the cover  130  may be erected at an obtuse angle relative to the main body  110  by the support groove  111  that is in the form of the concave groove and has an inclination. 
     As such, when the cover  130  is hingedly connected by the hinge part  140  that is provided on the main body  110 , the cover  130  may be erected at an angle that is similar to 90 degrees due to interference of a flat surface of the main body  110  or the cover  130  may be erected while not being completely tilted from the main body  110  so as not to interfere with the main body  110  if there is no support groove  111 . However, according to this embodiment, the mirror  131  of the cover  130  may be maintained by the support groove  111  so that it is easy for a user to see the mirror. 
     The first magnet  112  of the main body  110  may be magnetically coupled to the cover  130  and/or the auxiliary container  150 . For example, referring to  FIGS.  2 A and  2 B , the first magnet  112  may be provided on an opposite side of the hinge part  140  to vertically generate a magnetic force in the main body  110 , so that an upper portion of the first magnet  112  may be magnetically coupled to the cover  130 . In the case of having the auxiliary container  150 , a lower portion of the first magnet  112  may be magnetically coupled to the auxiliary container  150 . 
     Hereinafter, a structure where the storage container  120  is accommodated in the main body  110  (at least a portion thereof may be accommodated, so that the lower portion of the storage container  120  may be exposed) will be described as an example. However, as described above, various modifications are possible; for example, the cosmetics may be directly accommodated in the main body  110 . Furthermore, as an example where the storage container  120  is provided on the main body  110 , a first thread (not shown) may be formed on the main body  110 . 
     The first thread of the main body  110  may be provided such that the storage container  120  is fastened to the main body  110  in a screw-type fastening method. For example, the first thread may be formed on an inner circumference of the main body  110 , and a second thread  126  may be formed on an outer circumference of the storage container  120 , so that the storage container  120  may be coupled to the main body  110  (see  FIGS.  12  and  13   ). 
     Of course, the coupling of the storage container  120  may be implemented by various modifications and known technologies, including a screw-type fastening method, an interference-fit method, a protrusion locking method, etc. 
     Furthermore, the storage container  120  accommodated in the main body  110  may be made of a metal cushion. However, when the storage container has the structure of a sponge cushion, the lid (not shown) may be provided, so that the main body  110  may have the receiving depression  113  in which the hinge-coupling structure of the storage container  120  is received. 
     Here, referring to  FIG.  1   , the receiving depression  113  may be provided in a direction deviating from the hinge part  140 , for example, provided at a position spaced apart from the hinge part  140  by 90 degrees. The position of the receiving depression  113  may be provided on the left while being spaced apart from the hinge part  140  by 90 degrees and/or provided on the right while being spaced apart from the hinge part  140  by 90 degrees (the receiving depressions may be provided on the left and right sides of the main body  110 ). 
     Particularly, when a pair of receiving depressions  113  is provided on the left and right sides of the main body  110 , a user may optionally change the hinge coupling structure of the storage container  120 . Thus, when a right-handed person as well as a left-handed person puts on make-up while holding a tool such as a puff with the left hand and holding the cosmetic container  100  with the right hand, such a structure prevents the lid from interfering with an operation in which the cosmetics are transferred through the tool from the cosmetic container  100 . Moreover, after the make-up is completed, it is possible to hold the cosmetic container  100  with one hand and simultaneously close the lid by pushing the lid with the thumb of the hand holding the main body  110 . 
     The storage container  120  may have a receiving space in which the cosmetics are stored. Various structures such as sponge cushion or metal cushion may be applied to the storage container. In the case where the cosmetics are directly received in the main body  110 , the storage container may be omitted. As such, various modifications are possible. 
     Meanwhile, when the cosmetics are liquid, there may occur a problem that the cosmetics are easily spilled through an opening of a large area or the cover  130  is stained with the cosmetics. It is preferable to store the cosmetics in a space which is sealed to minimize contact with the air and thereby prevent the cosmetics from being deteriorated. Thus, hereinafter, an example having the storage container  120  will be described. 
     For example, when the storage container  120  is the sponge cushion, a depression  121  may be formed in the storage container  120  to define a receiving space in which the cosmetics are received. The depression  121  may have a structure that is concavely formed from top to bottom, and the top of the depression  121  may be open to be opened or closed by the lid  122 . Here, the depression  121  may be formed such that the cosmetics are directly exposed to an outside when the lid  122  is opened. 
     The storage container  120  may be provided with the lid  122  that is hingedly coupled to open or close the receiving space. The hinge coupling direction of the lid  122  may different from the hinge coupling direction of the cover  130 , so that the lid  122  does not hide the mirror  131  of the cover  130  even when the lid is opened, thus making it easy to use the mirror  131 . 
     Furthermore, unlike the related art where the lid of the cosmetic container is opened only in the left direction, according to this embodiment, the lid may be opened in the right direction as described above. Here, the storage container  120  may be opened in the right direction by the receiving depression  113  of the above-mentioned main body  110 . 
     That is, referring to  FIGS.  10  and  11   , the storage container  120  is configured such that the depression  121  and the lid  122  are connected by a hinge  123 . When the storage container  120  is seated in the main body  110 , the hinge  123  may be received in either of the receiving depressions  113  provided on the left and right sides of the main body  110 , so that the opening and closing directions of the lid  122  may be optionally used in at least two directions. 
     Moreover, a protrusion  124  is provided on the storage container  120  to be opposite to the hinge  123 . At least two receiving depressions  113  may be provided on the left and right sides of the main body  110 . When the hinge  123  is received in any one of the receiving depressions  113 , the storage container  120  may be provided with the protrusion  124  that is inserted into the other receiving depression  113 . 
     Thus, even if the storage container  120  having one hinge  123  is seated in the main body  110  having a plurality of receiving depressions  113 , all of the receiving depressions  113  are filled, thus eliminating an empty space and improving appearance. 
     In this case, the protrusion  124  may have a shape and a size corresponding to those of the receiving depression  113 , and may have a fine gap between the protrusion and the receiving depression  113  so that the protrusion is smoothly inserted into the receiving depression  113 . 
     Meanwhile, when the storage container  120  has the metal cushion structure as described above, the lid  122  may be omitted and a discharge plate (not shown) may be provided on the depression  121 , so that a small amount of contents may be discharged by a user&#39;s operation. The discharge plate may be used as a palette. As such, the structure for storing contents may be variously made, and an operating mechanism thereof is known to those skilled in the art, so that a detailed description thereof will be omitted herein. 
     Referring to  FIGS.  12   , such a storage container  120  may protrude downwards from the main body  110 , so that a step  125  may be formed with respect to the main body  110 . 
     For example, when the first thread is formed on the inner circumference of the main body  110 , a second thread  126  may be formed on the outer circumference of the storage container  120  to engage with the first thread, so that the storage container may be coupled to the main body  110 . Since a space may be formed in the step  125  between the main body  110  and the storage container  120 , at least one of the auxiliary container  150 , the band  160 , and the applicator  170  may be fastened using a magnetic-force coupling method, a hinge coupling method, etc. 
     The cover  130  may open or close the first side (upper surface) of the main body  110 . Referring to  FIG.  1   , one side of the cover may be hingedly coupled by the hinge part  140 , and the other side may be magnetically coupled. 
     Here, the magnetic coupling may be realized by providing the second magnet  132  or metal on an opposite side of the hinge part  140 , that is, a position facing the first magnet  112  of the main body  110 . 
     Therefore, unlike the conventional opening and closing structure such as a button structure, a spring, a button, and an additional space for operating the button are not required, so that a structure may be simplified. The simple structure may lead to a reduction in manufacturing cost and man hour for forming the opening and closing structure, and may reduce the size of the cosmetic container  100 , thus making the cosmetic container  100  more compact. Further, an internal space may be enlarged, and at least one of the auxiliary container  150 , the band  160 , and the applicator  170  may be easily coupled to the lower portion of the main body  110 , as described above. 
     In addition, unlike the related art where the hinge structure is located on a rear side of the main body to be interfered by the bottom surface of the cover structure or a user&#39;s finger when the cover structure is opened and the lower portion of the mirror is hidden by the hinge structure, the cover  130  of this embodiment may be configured such that the cover  130  may be pivoted on the top of the main body  110 , the support groove  111  may form an opening angle at which a user may easily see the mirror  131 , and the mirror may not be hidden by the hinge structure, thus improving a user&#39;s convenience. This will be described in detail in the following description of the hinge part  140 . 
     That is, as will be described later, this embodiment adopts a structure where the hinge part  140  is provided with the shaft insert part  141  protruding from the upper end of the main body  110 , and is an inverse structure as compared with the related art. Here, this embodiment also employs the magnetic open-and-close structure that has been described prior to the hinge part  140  of the inverse structure, thus maximizing the compactness of the cosmetic container  100 . 
     Referring to  FIGS.  6  to  9   , the hinge part  140  may hingedly connect the cover  130  to the main body  110 , with an inclined surface  141 A formed on the hinge. The hinge part may have the shaft insert part  141 , a shaft coupling part  142 , and a hinge shaft  143 . The hinge part  140  may be provided such that a lower end extending from the main body  110  is located in front of the support groove  111 , and consequently the hinge part  140  may not protrude outwards from the cover  130 . Thus, referring to  FIGS.  3  and  15   , the entire cosmetic container  100  has no structure protruding outwards, so that the appearance of the container may not be deteriorated. 
     Moreover, the shaft insert part  141  of the hinge part  140  is a configuration for connecting the hinge shaft  143  thereto, so that the hinge shaft  143  may be inserted into the shaft insert part. Unlike the related art where the hinge structure is connected to the rear surface of the main body, the shaft insert part protrudes from the upper end of the main body  110 , so that the stability of support to the bottom surface may be improved. The inclined surface  141 A may be formed on the shaft insert part. 
     In other words, the conventional hinge structure is provided on the rear surface of the main body that is the opposite side of the button. When the cover is opened, the hinge structure is opened from the rear side of the main body to be interfered by a user&#39;s finger holding the main body, so that the finger is pushed back by the rotation of the hinge structure. Consequently, it is unstable to hold the cosmetic container. Further, since the hinge structure protrudes from the bottom surface when rotating from the rear surface of the main body, the main body floats from the bottom surface and the hinge structure is supported to come into contact with the bottom surface. Thus, since the main body is not supported by the entire lower surface of the main body, namely, the main body is supported at two points, such as the front of the main body and the protruding portion of the hinge structure, the main body may be easily shaken. 
     However, according to this embodiment, the shaft insert part  141  protrudes from the upper end of the main body  110 , so that the hinge structure does not protrude from both the rear surface of the main body  110  and the bottom surface. Thus, even if the cosmetic container  100  is put on the bottom surface with the cover  130  being opened, the cosmetic container  100  may be stably supported without shaking. 
     Moreover, since the hinge structure is not formed on the rear surface of the main body  110  and a rotating point is not pushed backwards, the cover  130  may be opened at a front thereof compared to the conventional structure. The mirror  131  may be positioned closer to the front as compared to the conventional structure. Of course, since the mirror  131  is not hidden by the hinge structure, it may be easier for a user to see the mirror, in other words, visibility may be improved. 
     In addition, referring to  FIGS.  6 A and  6 B  and  FIG.  7   , when the cover  130  is opened, the edge of the upper surface of the cover  130  may be in contact with an end (see portion A of  FIG.  7   ) of the support groove  111 . The inclined surface  141 A of the shaft insert part  141  may be inclined towards the front in a direction from the top to the bottom. Thus, when the rear end of the cover  130  is rotated along an opening course, the inclined surface  141 A of the shaft insert part  141  may guide or may not interfere with the cover  130 . 
     Referring to  FIG.  9   , the shaft coupling part  142  is a groove structure in which the hinge shaft  143  is provided. The shaft coupling part may be depressed in a position on the cover  130  corresponding to the shaft insert part  141 , and the inner circumference of the groove may secure both ends of the hinge shaft  143 . 
     Particularly, according to the related art, a hinge pin is separately manufactured and then fitted, so that the hinge pin is exposed to the outside, thus deteriorating the appearance. In contrast, according to this embodiment, when the hinge shaft  143  is provided in the groove structure of the shaft coupling part  142 , namely, when the cover  130  is manufactured, the hinge shaft  143  may be integrally formed. Both ends of the hinge shaft  143  are not exposed to the outside by the shaft coupling part  142 , and the circumference of the hinge shaft  143  is inserted into the shaft insert part  141 , thus improving the appearance. 
     That is, referring to  FIG.  3   , a conventional hole structure for inserting the hinge pin may be omitted from the cover  130 . Of course, referring to  FIG.  2 B , the exposure of the hinge part  140  may be minimized by the cover  130 , thus improving the appearance. 
     The structure of the hinge part  140  according to this embodiment may be preferable. However, without being limited thereto, the related art may be applied and other modifications are possible. Thus, while having a shape opposite to a shape where the shaft insert part  141  is inserted into the shaft coupling part  142 , it is possible to have a structure where the hinge shaft  143  is inserted into the shaft coupling part  142 . The structure of  FIG.  2 A  is also possible. 
     Furthermore, when the hinge shaft  143  is formed integrally with the cover  130  on which the shaft coupling part  142  is formed, the shaft insert part  141  protruding from the upper end of the main body  110  may be provided by separately manufacturing upper and lower parts with respect to the hinge shaft  143  and then assembling the upper and lower parts. Of course, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. 
     Referring to  FIG.  14   , the auxiliary container  150  may have one or more auxiliary spaces, so that an auxiliary applicator  171  and/or separate cosmetics (color cosmetics, etc.) may be stored therein. The auxiliary container  150  may have the shape of a ring surrounding the outside of the storage container  120 . When the step  125  is formed between the main body  110  and the storage container  120 , the auxiliary container  150  may be detachably provided on the step  125  formed on the outside of the storage container  120 . 
     Since the auxiliary container  150  may be mounted using additional space that is formed in the rear surface of the main body  110  and in front of the main body  110  as compared with the conventional structure, the auxiliary container  150  may be added without increasing the size of the conventional compact-type cosmetic container. 
     For example, the coupling of the auxiliary container  150  may be detachably provided to be simply fitted into the step  125 , and may be achieved by forming the thread. Alternatively, the auxiliary container  150  may be magnetically coupled. As described above, the above-mentioned first magnet  112  may be provided on the outer circumference (or inside) of the storage container  120  or the main body  110 , and the auxiliary container  150  may include metal or a second magnet (it may be provided separately from the above-mentioned reference number  132 ) that is magnetically coupled to the first magnet, so that the auxiliary container  150  may be magnetically coupled to one of the storage container  120  and the main body  110 . 
     To be more specific, in the case of including the magnet equal/similar to the first magnet in the storage container  120 , the magnet may be provided along any one area or an entire area of the outer circumference of the storage container  120  protruding from the main body  110 . Here, the auxiliary container  150  has on the inner circumference thereof a magnet equal/similar to the metal or the second magnet  132 , so that the auxiliary container  150  may be magnetically coupled to the storage container  120 . 
     Meanwhile, in the case of including the first magnet  112  in the main body  110 , an upper end of the auxiliary container  150  may be magnetically coupled to the main body  110 . As described above, the metal provided on the upper end of the auxiliary container  150  or the magnet equal/similar to the second magnet  132  may be magnetically coupled to the lower portion of the first magnet  112  that is interiorly provided on the opposite side of the hinge part  140 . Here, the opposite side of the first magnet  112 , namely, the hinge part  140  may include a magnet to be magnetically coupled to the auxiliary container  150 , or a magnet may be provided on a lower side of the hinge part  140  in the main body  110  to be magnetically coupled to the auxiliary container (magnetically coupled at two points, namely, front and rear points). 
     Alternatively, an individual hinge structure that is symmetrical with the hinge part  140  may be provided under the hinge part  140 , the auxiliary container  150  may be hingedly connected to such a hinge structure (one-point magnetic coupling and hinge coupling), and a separate auxiliary lid may be provided. As such, various modifications are possible. 
     The band  160  may be coupled to the central portion of the outside of the main body  110 , or be coupled to a front portion or a rear portion that is eccentric from the central portion, and be rotatably provided. Thus, the band may be in contact with the side of the main body  110 , or be rotated to form a space from the bottom surface of the main body  110 . In this case, a user&#39;s hand is caught by the space, so that the cosmetic container  100  is restrained by the user&#39;s hand, thus preventing an accident such as a fall. 
     Meanwhile, since the storage container  120  and/or the auxiliary container  150  may be coupled to the main body  110 , the band  160  may be provided on the storage container  120  and/or the auxiliary container  150  in a method equal/similar to the method where the band is coupled to the main body  110 . As such, various modifications are possible (see  FIGS.  15  and  16   ). 
     The applicator  170  may be provided separately from a makeup tool that is stored in the lid of the storage container  120 . For example, the applicator may be detachably provided on the lower portion of the main body  110 . 
     As described above, as the button type of open-and-close structure of the main body  110  is omitted, an additional space may be formed in the outer circumference of the main body  110  as compared with the related art. Therefore, it is possible to install the applicator  170  as an additional product without increasing a size as compared with the conventional compact type cosmetic container. 
     Such an applicator  170  may be provided with a handle structure extending from the main body  110 , and a cosmetic transfer structure fixed to the handle structure, such as sponge or brush. The applicator  170  may be coupled to the main body  110  through fitting coupling or magnetic coupling, and the cosmetic transfer structure may be stored so as not to be exposed. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. 
     In addition, reference numeral  180  denotes a hair band, which is detachably provided on the outside of any one of the main body  110 , the storage container  120 , and the auxiliary container  150 , thus improving a user&#39;s convenience. 
     As such, this embodiment makes it easier to see the mirror, and prevents a user&#39;s finger from being pushed, thus improving convenience of use. 
     A cosmetic container according to the present disclosure is improved in a hinge structure and an opening and closing structure, so that it is possible to secure an additional space, thus allowing an additional amount of cosmetics to be added without increasing an entire size, and can form a rotating angle of a cover so that it is easy for a user to see, thus improving convenience. 
     Although the present disclosure was described with reference to specific embodiments, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure may be changed and modified in various ways without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, which is described in the following claims. 
     All simple modifications or changes of the present disclosure fall within the purview of the present disclosure, and the specific scope of the present disclosure will be apparent from the following claims.
