Method for manufacturing a personalized applicator for applying a cosmetic composition to the lips, in which the applicator includes an application surface made from a material that can become loaded with composition. The method includes the following steps: a) performing a 3D scan of the topography of at least part of the surface of the lips, and b) from at least said scan, creating at least part of the applicator or a mold used for the manufacture thereof, by machining a preform or by additive manufacturing.

Examples of a cosmetic agent are for three-dimensional (3D) printing. In an example, the cosmetic agent includes a dye, an oxidizing agent, and a solvent. The oxidizing agent is to react with an antioxidant in a build material to reduce reduction of the dye in the presence of the antioxidant.

A cosmetic container and manufacturing method thereof may include steps of obtaining raw material, mixing granulation, and molding by injection to manufacture a cosmetic container. In the step of obtaining raw material, a plurality of fibers as main raw material of the cosmetic container are extracted from natural plants. In the step of mixing granulation, the extracted fibers are configured to mix with a plentiful vegetable gum and starch, and the mixed compound is adapted to be granulated through a granulating machine to form into a plurality of granules. Thereafter, in the step of molding by injection, the granules is sent into a processor, and the processor is configured to heat and melt the granules and to inject and fill the melted compound in a plurality of mold cavities of a forming mold.

The invention relates to an applicator for a cosmetic product including a first part and a second part that extend along a longitudinal direction of extension from a proximal end towards a free distal end of the applicator, the first part and the second part being configured to form parts for applying the cosmetic product, one of the parts is mounted mobile in for translational with respect to the other of the parts, from at least a first retracted position, to a second deployed position, the first and second parts are configured to form together a variable volume reservoir, intended to contain the cosmetic product and that has a first volume when the parts occupy the first retracted position and a second volume when the parts occupy the second deployed position.

Process for manufacturing an applicator (3) comprising a loading/application part (4), with the succession of steps a/ a mould is provided, b/ thermoplastic elastomer material (M) with a hardness before injection of between 5 Shore A and 70 Shore A and inert gas (G) suitable for a physical foaming process are provided, c/ they are mixed, d/ the mixture is injection-moulded in the mould, e/ after the thermoplastic elastomer material has cooled and physical foaming thereof has been carried out, the filler/application part (4) which has an inner structure (11) with closed cells (11a) and a microporous surface structure (12) is removed, and with the absence of a step of depositing on the microporous surface structure (12) a flock or flock adhesion material.

Systems and methods for manufacturing eyelash prostheses are described.

Disclosed is a mould for a cosmetic product, including at least one hollow body having a chamber delimited by a wall with a moulding surface and an access opening, the chamber being adapted to receive the cosmetic product in liquid form, the body possibly including a margin, extending radially from the opening and at least partially around it, the mould further including, possibly, a rigid support component, around the perimeter of the hollow body, the mould being characterised in that at least the body is made of a flexible polymer material. Also disclosed is a process for the manufacture of a cosmetic product using the aforementioned mould.

An applicator for cosmetic product includes a core extending along a longitudinal extension direction, also called a main direction, and one or more protrusions integral with the core. The protrusions extend from a proximal end connected to the core to a distal free end along a elongation direction, so as to define a length. At least some of the protrusions have at least one helicoidal winding on at least a portion of the length thereof, called helicoidal winding portion.

An application container includes a main body cylinder, an application tool, and an engagement portion. The main body cylinder has a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The application tool is insertable into the main body cylinder through the first end of the main body cylinder. The engagement portion is positioned within the main body cylinder, and includes a cylindrical portion to connect with the application tool and a connector that connects the cylindrical portion and the main body cylinder. The cylindrical portion of the engagement portion is spaced apart from the main body cylinder.
