a vibration device comprising a vibration plate detachably attached to a makeup tool, and transferring vibration to the makeup tool; and
a handle component coupled with the vibration device, including a pair of folding wings, the pair of folding wings comprising a first wing and a second wing, the handle component being configured to drive the vibration device when the first folding wing and the second folding wing are folded and contact each other,
wherein when the vibration plate is attached to the makeup tool, the makeup tool is disposed under a lower surface of the vibration plate, and the handle component is disposed on an upper surface of the vibration plate.

2. The vibrating module according to claim 1 , wherein the vibration device further comprises:
a vibrator mounted on the upper surface of the vibration plate and generating vibration;
a power supply component installed in the handle component and supplying power to the vibrator; and
a switch component installed in the handle component and controlling supply of the power from the power supply component to the vibrator.

3. The vibrating module according to claim 2 ,
wherein the power supply component comprises at least any one of a first battery and a second battery,
wherein the first battery is disposed on the first wing, the first battery including an anode surface connected to the vibrator through a first lead wire, and a cathode surface connected to the switch component, and
wherein the second battery is disposed on the second wing, the second battery including a cathode surface connected to the vibrator through a second lead wire, and an anode surface connected to the switch component.

4. The vibrating module according to claim 3 ,
wherein the switch component comprises a first current carrying panel and a second current carrying panel,
wherein the first current carrying panel is installed at the first wing, contacts with the cathode surface of the first battery and is connected to the cathode surface of the first battery, and
wherein the second current carrying panel is installed at the second wing, contacts with the anode surface of the second battery, and is connected to the anode surface of the second battery.

5. The vibrating module according to claim 4 ,
wherein the first current carrying panel is installed at an inside of the first wing,
wherein the second current carrying panel is installed at an inside of the second wing such that the second current carrying panel is opposite to the first current carrying panel, and
wherein the first current carrying panel and the second first current carrying panel contact to be electrically connected to each other when the first wing and the second wing contact each other regardless of pressure acting on the first wing and the second wing.

6. The vibrating module according to claim 4 ,
wherein the first current carrying panel is installed in a concave first elastic groove defined in the first wing,
wherein the second current carrying panel is installed in a concave second elastic groove defined in the second wing to be opposite to the first elastic groove, and
wherein the first current carrying panel and the second first current carrying panel contact to be electrically connected to each other when the first wing and the second wing of the first and second elastic grooves are pressed over a certain pressure in a state where the first wing and the second wing contact each other.

7. The vibrating module according to claim 4 , further comprising:
a first elastic bar provided on an inner surface of the first wing to have a certain inner inclination; and
a second elastic bar provided to be opposite to the first elastic bar and provided on an inner surface of the second wing to have a certain inner inclination,
wherein the first current carrying panel is installed at an inside of the first wing,
wherein the second current carrying panel is installed at an inside of the second wing to be opposite to the first current carrying panel, and
wherein the first current carrying panel and the second first current carrying panel contact to be electrically connected to each other as an angle of the first elastic bar and the second elastic bar is reduced when the first wing and the second wing are pressed over a certain pressure in a state where the first wing and the second wing are folded and the first elastic bar and the second elastic bar contact each other.

8. The vibrating module according to claim 7 ,
wherein each of the first current carrying panel and the second first current carrying panel is installed in a groove defined in each of the first wing and the second wing, and is installed such that an outer surface thereof is parallel to the inner surface of each of the first wing and the second wing, and
wherein each the first elastic bar and the second elastic bar is inserted into another groove defined in each of the first wing and the second wing to cause the first current carrying panel and the second first current carrying panel to contact each other as the angle is reduced if the certain pressure is applied, and returns to an original state thereof if the certain pressure is released.

9. A vibrating module, comprising:
a vibration device detachably attached to a makeup tool, and transferring vibration to the makeup tool; and
a handle component coupled with the vibration device, including a pair of folding wings, the pair of folding wings comprising a first wing, a second wing and a fixing plate on which the first wing and the second wing are mounted, and the handle component being configured to drive the vibration device when the first folding wing and the second folding wing are folded and contact each other,
wherein the vibration device comprises:
a vibration plate detachably attached to the makeup tool, and coupled with the fixing plate;

a vibrator mounted on an upper surface of the vibration plate and generating vibration;
a power supply component mounted on the upper surface of the vibration plate and supplying power to the vibrator; and
a switch component installed in the handle component and controlling supply of the power from the power supply component to the vibrator.

10. The vibrating module according to claim 9 ,
wherein the power supply component comprises at least any one of a first battery and a second battery,
wherein the first battery is disposed on a first side of the vibrator, the first battery including an anode surface connected to the vibrator through a first lead wire, and a cathode surface connected to the switch component through a first connecting line, and
wherein the second battery is disposed on a second side of the vibrator, the second battery including a cathode surface connected to the vibrator through a second lead wire, and an anode surface connected to the switch component through a second connecting line.

11. The vibrating module according to claim 10 ,
wherein the switch component comprises a first current carrying panel and a second current carrying panel,
wherein the first current carrying panel is installed at an inside of the first wing, and is connected through the first connecting line to the cathode surface of the first battery,
