A lip gloss brush head includes a fixing rod, a brush head body, and a flocking sleeve comprising fluff. The fixing rod and the brush head body are integrally connected. An upper surface and a lower surface of the brush head body are both cambered surfaces. A middle portion of the upper surface of the brush head body is provided with a storage tank. The flocking sleeve is sheathed on the outer surface of the brush head body, thus covering the storage tank.

One pouch for storage of multiple components of a mixture is described with a first compartment and a second compartment. At least one channel is defined between the first compartment and the second compartment and at least one seal is installed within the channel. An agitator is installed in the first compartment. The seal is breakable and the agitator is removable. Another pouch separates two pockets with an air compartment. The air compartment is breakable.

A system for the application of mascara. The system has a container and an applicator wand. The applicator wand has a handle that extends along a central axis. A wand shaft extends from the handle and hold a brush head. The brush head includes a brush held in an articulable mount. The articulable mount orients the brush in a position where the central axis of the handle intersects the center line of the brush at a point between the ends of the brush. The brush is biased to a first angle of inclination. The articulable mount provides a hinge joint between the brush and the wand shaft. The hinge joint enables the brush to temporarily rotate about the hinge joint away from its first angle of inclination and into a second angle of inclination to pass into or out of the access opening of the container.

Preform for a cosmetic unit filled with cosmetic mass, having a container part which preferably forms a tube, is open on the underside and is dimensioned in such a way that, after filling with the cosmetic mass to be stored by it, it can be closed by welding without being affected by the cosmetic mass and then forms the complete cosmetic container, the container part providing a subsequent removal opening on the upper side, and an applicator part, which consists at least of a stem fitted or capable of being fitted with an applicator element, the stem of the preform being arranged partly inside the container part and partly projecting outwards through the subsequent removal opening, wherein the stem is connected via a thin material bridge to the inner edge of the subsequent removal opening in such a way that it closes the latter tightly, and the stem and the container part are an integral one-piece component.

A method for transporting cosmetic applicator units, which are not assembled with their cosmetic receptacles, in bulk form to a destination at which they are assembled with the associated cosmetic receptacles so that the respective wiper associated with the cosmetic applicator, before the stowing of the cosmetic applicator unit, is slid at least partially over the bristle set of the applicator part so that it at least partially contains the bristle set and remains there for the duration of the transport and/or remains in this position during storage; a plurality of cosmetic applicator units that are protected in this way are stowed together in a container and then transported to their destination and/or are stored until ready for further use.

The present invention relates to an applicator device for a fluid or paste-like make-up and/or care product across a complex surface of the human body, having an elongated general outer shape axisymmetric about an XX axis; wherein the general outer shape thereof comprises a first rounded volume (1) connected to a second rounded volume (2) by an area (3) with a cross section smaller than the largest cross section of the first and the second volumes: where said device comprises at least one flexible longitudinal arch (10, 11) embedded in at least one point of a core (15) extending along the XX axis, where said at least one arch is suitable for defining with the core a product reservoir having a variable volume, resulting in the pumping of the product.

An applicator head for applying a fluid product including a cosmetic, care, or pharmaceutical product onto the keratinous substrate. The applicator head includes an applying member elongated along a longitudinal axis. The applying member has tubular body with a closed proximal end and an open distal end. The applying member includes a sidewall and an interior longitudinal cavity having an opening at the open distal end of the applying member. The applying member, at its distal end portion, has a ball socket for rotatably mounting a spherical ball. The spherical ball can discharge the fluid product by rotation. The sidewall includes at least two through feed openings that allow filling of the internal longitudinal cavity with the fluid product when the applying member is dipped in the receptacle. A portion of the spherical ball protrudes from the ball socket beyond the open distal end of the applying member.

Systems, methods, and new file formats are provided for printing 3D microstructures. In some implementations, a new file format is provided that defines 3D objects by a wireframe model expressed as a collection of wires. Because wires and their parameters are defined within the new file format, objects may be processed more efficiently and quickly to support 3D rendering operations. Such methods may be used to print new articles, such as eyelashes, bushes, swabs and other novel items.

A system for maintaining eyelash extensions includes a plurality of components for use throughout the life of a set of eyelash extensions. These components may include a sealer formulated for use just after the extensions have been applied, a sealer and thickener formulated for use after eyelash extensions have started to fall out and a thickener formulated for use after the eyelash extensions have thinned considerably (i.e., few are remaining) and until the individual can have her eyelash extensions filled or replaced. Components of the system that are formulated for initial use and through the middle of the lifetime of the eyelash extensions (e.g., the sealer and the sealer/thickener) may be formulated to nourish the eyelashes and to seal each extension and the natural eyelash to which each extension is adhered. As the lifetime of the eyelash extensions progresses, components of the system may be formulated to provide eyelashes with an increased appearance of volume as more and more of the extensions fall out. Methods for maintaining the appearance of eyelash extensions throughout the lash cycle are also disclosed, and include applying compositions that are tailored for use during various phases of the lash cycle to the eyelash extensions and natural eyelashes.

An cosmetic applicator comprising a brush portion of relatively soft, flexible injection molded bristles, and a comb portion of relatively hard, inflexible injection molded teeth, the comb portion being assembled to the brush portion after each portion is molded. In one preferred embodiment, the comb portion has two or more columns of teeth arranged parallel to each other, which makes for a more effective comb.
