To allow a user to perform a work while holding eyelashes by one hand and viewing from a near part in using a hand mirror and to shorten time.

A tool for assisting make-up includes left and right absorbent pads 2, 3 arranged at both the ends of a shaft 1 when the shaft 1 is horizontally placed. When the shaft is bent at the elastic center part 4 with grooves to be marks as a guide, the upper surface 5 of the left pad meets the upper surface 7 of the right pad. When bending is performed in an opposite direction, the lower surface 6 of the left pad meets the lower surface 8 of the right pad. Accordingly, the fine work to hold the eyelashes or hair is performed by one hand through the use of a disposable tool. Consequently, only applied mascara is held by the tool to be wiped off without soiling fingers and the circumference of an eye. When several hairs are colored, they are held between the pads so as to provide excellent workability.
