  • Patent number: 11278102
    Abstract: Cases can be used to house sets of artificial lashes in a specified arrangement. For example, lash fusions may be placed within multiple predefined indentations in the shape of an eyelid. Applicators can be used to resiliently grasp all of the lash fusions in a set of lash extensions, and then simultaneously apply the entire set of lash extensions directly to the underside of the natural lashes. An applicator includes opposed arms that are connected to one another at an inner end designed to be gripped by an individual. The applicator can also include an outer end having a concave shape that is contoured to be substantially flush with the convex shape of the lash line and the predefined indentations of a case that includes the set of lash extensions.

  • Patent number: 11234472
    Abstract: Clusters of artificial lashes are initially formed using, for example, a hot melt method in which artificial hairs secured to one another following exposure to a heat source. Multiple clusters can then be connected to one another to form a lash fusion. For example, a lash fusion could include three clusters that are connected together in a straight line. Multiple lash fusions can be arranged proximate to one another to form a set. In some embodiments, the multiple lash fusions are positioned such that the form of the set matches the curvature of the tightline of an eyelid. An adhesive can then be applied to the top of each lash fusion in the set, which enables an individual to easily apply the set directly to the underside of the individual's natural eyelashes (i.e., near the underside of the eyelid beneath the lash line).
