A row of artificial eyelashes to be fixed to the edge of an eyelid, having (i) a base part intended to be fixed to the edge of the eyelid, and (ii) false eyelashes, the base part having a first warp thread forming stitches, in particular a chain-stitch knitted warp thread, the false eyelashes passing through the stitches of the base part, in particular through the chain stitches of the first warp thread, and being retained in the stitches of the base part without being tied thereto.

A method for manufacturing a row of artificial eyelashes, having at least the two following steps of: (a) knitting an assembly for forming rows of artificial eyelashes to be fixed to the edge of an eyelid, this assembly having at least two base parts, at least one of which is intended to be fixed to the edge of an eyelid, which are disposed parallel and symmetrically to one another with respect to a median plane (P), and false eyelashes, each base part having a first warp thread forming stitches, in particular a chain-stitch knitted warp thread, and (b) curving the row of artificial eyelashes and/or the base part and/or the false eyelashes by applying a mechanical load in the presence of an energy stimulus causing the material of the false eyelashes to heat up, in particular by applying ultrasound or high frequencies or by heating.

A device for ensuring safe operation of a robot used for cosmetics applications, including the retrofitting of robots not originally design for such applications. In some embodiments, the robot is used for the automatic placement of eyelash extensions onto the natural eyelashes of a subject. In some embodiments, a safety barrier is provided by a physical barrier or light curtain. In other embodiments, readily deformable end effectors are used.

A method for lengthening lashes is provided, along with a kit for accomplishing the method. The method comprises (i) applying a glue onto an eyelash, (ii) allowing the glue to dry for a period of time; and then (iii) depositing a separate individual fiber onto a distal portion of the eyelash using a microbristle brush applicator having a bristle density above 4 bristles/mm.sup.2, where each fiber has a diameter greater than 30 microns and a length of 4 mm or less and each fiber is held electrostatically by the microbristle brush applicator. Mascara can then be applied to some or all of the lash and attached fiber.
