The first cosmetic module 130a and the second cosmetic module 140b may functionally complement each other. Therefore, a user who carries the second cosmetic module 130b may demand or need the first cosmetic module 130a. So, if the cosmetic assembly <NUM> includes not only the first cosmetic module 130a but also the second cosmetic module 130b, it may increase the utility of the cosmetic assembly <NUM>.

The user may do makeup using the cosmetic assembly <NUM> which is in the unfolded state. The cosmetic assembly <NUM> of the unfolded state has a shape for allowing the user to easily do makeup. The user may immediately use the first cosmetic module 130a after using the second cosmetic module 130b. After finishing makeup, the user can change the state of the cosmetic assembly <NUM> into the folded state. Because the cosmetic assembly <NUM> in the folded state is relatively small, it is relatively suitable for keeping and carrying.

Referring to <FIG>, a first gear coupling portion 127a of a first hinge module 120a may be coupled to a second gear coupling portion 127b of a second hinge module 120b. If one among the first hinge module 120a and the second hinge module 120b rotates in the hinge unit <NUM>, it may influence on the other one by the gear coupling portion <NUM>.

For instance, when the first hinge module 120a rotates in the hinge unit <NUM>, the first gear coupling portion 127a may transfer rotating power to the second gear coupling portion 127b.
