  • Patent number: 6779532
    Abstract: The invention provides for a makeup brush for facilitating the application of eyeliner to the upper lashline of the eyes. The brush comprises a tuft of bristles configured in a curved pattern to conform to the contour of the eyelid. The overall width of the brush head, in combination with the curvature of the tuft, provide a brush which facilitates the accurate and natural-looking application of eyeliner. Specifically, the curved design of the bristles of the brush are such that eyeliner may be applied between the lashes of the lashline, rather than merely above or below the lashline.

  • Publication number: 20040001793
    Abstract: A cosmetic composition is provided that is particularly intended for application to areas constituting or surrounding the lips. It is a silicone-based formula, preferably comprising a solvent, masking oil, moisturizer, skin protectant, pigment, wax and antioxidant, specifically designed to enhance the fullness of the lips and their surrounding area which decrease as a result of the aging process. In addition, the cosmetic may be used to fill in wrinkles, cracks and/or crevices that surround the lip area which are also a result of the aging process. The invention is a creamy formula which easily fills such lines, resulting in a smooth texture of any areas to which it is applied. The effect is a reduction in the ability of facial lines to cause the undesirable bleeding of lipstick into areas of the face other than the lips.
