Mascara Applicator System
A mascara applicator system in the form of tongs with flat tips in a variety of shapes, or a mascara applicator flat tips of a variety of shapes that can be added to tongs or rods. The flat tips contain polymer cushion, polymer cushion with protrusions, or mascara in the form of a crayon on the inner side. Mascara is squeezed from a tube onto the applicators with polymer cushion and polymer cushion with protrusions, while the applicator with the mascara crayon on it can be used directly.
This invention relates to tools used in the application of cosmetics onto the eyelashes.
Description of Prior ArtMascara has been applied by wands or brushes with bristles with little innovation for centuries. While it is an effective method of applying cosmetics to the eyelashes, it leaves room for improvement as to the cleanliness of the application, wastefulness, and sanitation. Current mascara applicators on the market are some variation of a wand with bristles. Although there have been some devices seeking to use dual wands, sometimes on tongs, the mascara applicator is always within a tube of mascara and with bristles. One problem with these designs is mascara is covered along the length of and all the way around the applicator. This wastes mascara, and it causes the mascara to be applied to the skin around the eyelashes. This also causes a sanitation problem by soaking the part of the applicator that touches the face into the mascara. Although the bristles may help separate the eyelashes, applicators with bristles all the way around are hazardous around eyes and the delicate skin on the face. There is currently no mascara that comes separate from a wand on the market.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present disclosure relates to a mascara applicator comprising tongs formed by two arms. Each of the two arms includes a terminal end and a proximal end. The proximal ends are connected to allow pivoting of the arms with respect to one another. Each of the terminal ends is shaped to form a substantially flat tip with an inner side and an outer side, and at least one of the inner sides includes a polymer cushion or a crayon form of mascara.
A more complete appreciation of the invention and many of the attendant advantages thereof will be readily obtained as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
This mascara applicator involves tongs that can be made of all one piece that pivots so both tips are together. The tongs can also be made of two separate rods joined at one tip. An example of the mascara tongs is shown in
The mascara applicator can also consist of applicator tips with a hollow part that can be added to tongs or rods. An example of the applicator tips is shown in
Claims
1. A mascara applicator system comprising:
- tongs formed by two arms, each of the two arms including a terminal end and a proximal end,
- wherein the proximal ends are connected at a pivot, and
- wherein each of the terminal ends is shaped to form a substantially flat tip with an inner side and an outer side, and at least one of the inner sides includes a polymer cushion or a crayon form of mascara.
2. The mascara applicator system of claim 1, wherein the tip includes a linear shape, an oval shape, an eye shape, a triangle shape, a circle shape, a rectangle shape, a crescent shape, a teardrop shape, a square shape or a diamond shape.
3. The mascara applicator system of claim 1, wherein the inner side of each of the terminal ends includes a polymer cushion, and a tube containing a liquid or gel form of mascara is used to excrete the mascara onto the polymer cushion.
4. The mascara applicator system of claim 1, wherein the polymer cushion on at least one of the inner sides includes protrusions.
5. The mascara applicator system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the inner sides includes a crayon form of mascara on a base that may be removable.
6. A mascara applicator system comprising:
- separate mascara applicator tips configured to attach to the tip of tongs or rods, wherein the attaching end is hollow and the terminal end is shaped to form a substantially flat tip with an inner side and an outer side, and wherein the inner side includes a polymer cushion or a crayon form of mascara.
7. The mascara applicator system of claim 6, wherein the tip includes a linear shape, an oval shape, an eye shape, a triangle shape, a circle shape, a rectangle shape, a crescent shape, a teardrop shape, a square shape or a diamond shape.
8. The mascara applicator system of claim 6, wherein the inner side of each of the terminal ends includes a polymer cushion, and a tube containing a liquid or gel form of mascara is used to excrete the mascara onto the polymer cushion.
9. The mascara applicator system of claim 6, wherein the polymer cushion on at least one of the inner sides includes protrusions.
10. The mascara applicator system of claim 6, wherein at least one of the inner sides includes a crayon form of mascara on a base that may be removable.
