  9. The spatula for combining a puff of claim 1, wherein a band connecting portion to which a band of the puff provided so that a user's finger is inserted thereinto is connected is formed on the upper surface, and the side surface includes: a rear side surface portion of which the band of the puff is disposed in front when the band of the puff is connected to the band connecting portion and of which at least a part supports the user's finger that is inserted into the band of the puff; a front side surface portion facing the rear side surface portion and of which a cushion body of the puff connected to the band of the puff is disposed in front when the puff is connected to the band connecting portion, and a connecting side portion connecting the rear side surface portion and the front side surface portion.
  10. The spatula for combining a puff of claim 9, wherein the band connecting portion is a pair of first slits formed in the first upper surface portion to communicate the rear side surface portion and the front side surface portion forward and backward and extended from the upper surface toward the lower surface, and the pair of first slits is disposed to be spaced apart by a length of the band of the puff.
  11. The spatula for combining a puff of claim 10, wherein an application surface on which cosmetics are applied is provided in the connecting side portion, and when the band of the puff is fitted into the first slit, the application surface is disposed out side the cushion body of the puff, so that the cosmetics are applied on the application surface before being applied to the cushion body of the puff.
  12. The spatula for combining a puff of claim 9, wherein the band connecting portion is a pair of second slits formed on each of the first upper surface portion and the second upper surface portion to communicate the rear side surface portion and the front side surface portion forward and backward and extended from the upper surface toward the lower surface, the pair of second slits is disposed to be spaced apart by a length of the band of the puff, and a degree of which any one of the pair of second slits is extended from the upper surface toward the lower surface is provided to be different from a degree of which the other one of the pair of second slits is extended from the upper surface toward the lower surface.
  13. The spatula for combining a puff of claim 12, wherein an application surface on which cosmetics are applied is provided in the connecting side portion, and when the band of the puff is fitted into the second slit, the application surface is disposed out side the cushion body of the puff, so that the cosmetics are applied on the application surface before being applied to the cushion body of the puff.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATION This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2024-0151680, filed on October 31, 2024, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to a spatula for combining a puff and a cosmetic applicator including the same. BACKGROUND Generally, cosmetics with a predetermined viscosity such as gel or cream are sold, for convenient use, in a cosmetic container that includes a body formed with a wide opening portion and a cap that is screw-combined with the body to open and close the opening portion of the body. In order to use the cosmetics contained in such a cosmetic container, a user opens the cap, scoops out the cosmetics contained inside the body with a finger, and then applies the cosmetics to the face. In this case, there is a possibility that a foreign substance on the user's finger may be mixed into the cosmetics. When the foreign substance is mixed into the cosmetics, a problem of a degradation of the cosmetics according to bacterial growth may occur. In addition, there is a possibility that the cosmetics are degraded due to heat of the finger. In order to solve this problem, a spatula capable of applying the cosmetics to the face instead of the finger is being used. The spatula has an advantage of being able to thinly apply a base makeup such as foundation on the face, thereby attracting not only attention of experts but also attention of non-experts for a purpose of creating a natural base makeup that accentuates skin texture. However, when performing the base makeup using the spatula, there is a problem when the cosmetics applied to the spatula is only spread on the face, the cosmetics are not sufficiently adhered to the face, and thus completeness of the base makeup is deteriorated. Accordingly, in order to improve the completeness of the base makeup, it is necessary not only to spread the cosmetics applied to the spatula on the face, but also to spread the cosmetics applied to the spatula on the face and then use a puff to adhere the cosmetics to the face. However, since the spatula and the puff should be individually possessed in order for the user to perform this process, there is a problem that portability is deteriorated and inconvenience of the user is caused. Accordingly, there is a need to develop technology for a cosmetic applicator that may improve portability and alleviate the user's inconvenience by combining and integrating the spatula and the puff. PRIOR ART LITERATURE PATENT DOCUMENT (Patent Document 1) Korean Laid-Open Application No. 10-1253463 SUMMARY TECHNICAL PROBLEM The present disclosure has been devised to solve the various problems of the related art described above and is directed to providing a spatula for combining a puff that may improve portability and alleviate a user's inconvenience by combining and integrating a spatula and a puff, and a cosmetic applicator including the same. TECHNICAL SOLUTION A spatula for combining a puff according to an aspect of the present disclosure may include a spatula body that includes an upper surface, a lower surface, and a side surface, and is combined with a puff, wherein the upper surface may include: a first upper surface portion disposed to be spaced apart by a first distance based on the lower surface; a second upper surface portion disposed to be spaced apart by a second distance that is different from the first distance based on the lower surface; and a third upper surface portion connecting the first upper surface portion and the second upper surface portion so that a puff exposure space in which at least a part of the puff combined with the spatula body is exposed is formed between the first upper surface portion and the second upper surface portion. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, the spatula for combining a puff may be provided, wherein a band connecting portion to which a band of the puff provided so that a user's finger is inserted thereinto is connected is formed on the side surface. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, the spatula for combining a puff of may be provided, wherein, when the band of the puff is connected to the band connecting portion, at least a part of a cushion body of the puff that is connected to the band of the puff is disposed and exposed so as to overlap with the puff exposure space, and at least a part of the cushion body of the puff exposed through the puff exposure space is deformed due to pressure applied by the user's finger. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, the spatula for combining a puff may be provided, wherein the side surface includes: a rear side surface portion of which the band of the puff is disposed in front when the band of the puff is connected to the band connecting portion and of which at least a part supports the user's finger that is inserted into
