  • Method for preventing deposit of lipstick on teeth
    Patent number: 5285799
    Abstract: Applicators (15, 40) for depositing mascara (16) on an eyelash (17) and lipstick (41) on a face (21), respectively, are disclosed, as well as methods of their applications. An absorbent tissue (47) is wrapped about one portion (45) of a properly circumferentially-sized applicator (40). After lipstick (41) is applied to the women's lips (43), they are puckered, tissue (47) on applicator (40) inserted into her mouth, and excess deposit of lipstick (41) is absorbed by tissue (47) without it depositing upon her teeth (42). The second applicator (15) comprises a curvi-lineared edge 22 which correlates to (by crossing) the line of the lower eyelash (17) after which mascara (16) from a brush (39) is evenly and properly applied to the eyelash (17). Face (21) below edge (22) is contoured to fit the flesh portion (24) of the eye socket (25).
