Abstract: When securing eyelashes to a user's eyelid the procedure is greatly simplified and facilitated if the beautician applying the eyelash has both hands free when applying adhesive glue to an eyelash and then placing the eyelash on the user's eyelid. Rather than having an eyelash holder platform of eyelashes standing free on a work table the task is greatly simplified and made much easier if the eyelash holder platform is kept handy and easily accessible to the beautician by temporarily attaching the eyelash holder platform to the back of the beauticians hand. Accordingly an apparatus for securing an eyelash holder platform to a back of a beautician's hand which has a finger ring, which is removably attachable to an eyelash holder platform, and is to be worn on a beautician's finger so as to maintain the location of the platform in the proximity of the back of the beautician's hand.

Abstract: Personal colors for cosmetics are determined by a method and a kit of equipment which determines an overall value for an individual by reference to the skin, eye, and hair features, determines a four-seasonal color designation of the individual by reference to colors such as powders applied to the skin, and presents the personal colors based on the overall value and seasonal color designation. A value determining scale is used to determine specific values of features by adjacent comparison to those features. An overall value chart contains information defining an overall value based on a predetermined multiple number of specific values of features. A seasonal color designation chart contains information defining a seasonal color designation as either summer, winter, spring, or autumn based on the relative ability of predetermined colors to blend with natural skin tone. A personal color direction chart correlates the overall value and seasonal color designation to personal colors.

Abstract: An improved tanning system involves the use of a film of material which is permeable to ultra-violet light and which is adapted to be laid on part of a human body, for example the torso. The film is covered in certain desired regions with a material which is impermeable to ultra-violet light which regions are surrounded by regions which are only slightly permeable to ultra-violet light. When a person wearing the film is subjected to tanning, the result is improved appearance of the torso, for example, the person may look fitter, slimmer and/or more muscular. The tanning may be achieved by either natural sunlight or by means of a sunbed.

Abstract: A tattooing device for producing a temporary predetermined image on the human skin by the action of skin tanning rays comprises a template having a laminated structure which comprises a flexible first layer and a removable second layer. A central opening which is defined in the laminated structure of the template has an outline which corresponds to the image. A first surface of the first layer is provided with an adhesive with the second layer being removably mounted to this first surface. Upon removal of the second layer from the first layer, the latter is applied on the skin at a desired location. A sun block is then distributed on the skin within the central opening. Removal of the first layer from the skin leaves sun block thereon which corresponds to the desired image. Once the skin has been exposed to tanning rays, the sun block is washed away from the skin thereby revealing a skin tattoo.
