An applicator for beauty products comprises a lighting device for providing lighting when applying beauty products. In various embodiments, the lighting device is a hollow body enclosing a power supply, such as one or more batteries, with the power supply and including a light source. The light source is surrounded by an opaque body so the light source casts an even glow of light. Further, the light source has in such a shape or an orientation allowing the light source to emit beyond an outer perimeter of one or more interchangeable brush heads that are coupled to an outer circumference of the light source. The hollow body also includes a switch coupled to the power supply and to the light source. When activated, the switch completes a circuit providing power from the power supply to the light source, causing the light source to emit light.

A system is provided enabling do it yourself body stencilling and/or body art. In particular, the system of the invention provides a body tight removable mask that masks an area of the body for body painting. The mask is sized to fit a particular portion of the torso or an appendage of a subject individual, and masks a standard area to enable an unskilled artist to paint a portion of the subject individual. The stencil can mask a logo of a sports team or other form such as a swimsuit form on a wrist or ankle or upper torso, forehead, or a bathing suit area of the subject individual. The system optionally includes adhesive, Velcro, or other interlocking overlapping portions enabling easy removal of the stencil without disturbing the freshly painted area. In its simplest form, the stencil is a mask of the thighs, and the waste, the lower chest area and upper chest area, for example, with a preferably elastic mask panel that can be easily removed once the basic painting is complete. Advantageously, the invention enables websites that feature body painting, such as Sports teams, Universities, Sports Illustrated or Fashion TV, to sell stencil product in association with displays of body painted models.

An applicator head intended to be associated with a cosmetic dispensing package for dispensing and applying a fluid product. The applicator head includes a first applicator member and a second applicator member coupled to one side of the first applicator member. The second applicator member made of a material capable of holding and retaining a thermal charge. An upper surface of the applicator head defines an applicator surface adapted to apply and dispense the fluid product. The applicator surface is angled with respect to a longitudinal axis of the applicator head. A recessed concavity is formed on the applicator surface and a discharge opening is disposed within the recessed concavity. A first portion of the recessed concavity lies on the first applicator member and a second portion of the recessed concavity lies on the second applicator member.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing a self-contained cosmetic applicator kit are described herein. For example, according to one embodiment there is a cosmetic applicator kit including: a body, in which the body includes: a reservoir portion, in which the reservoir portion is to receive cosmetic material to be applied; an applicator storage recess to receive an applicator cap over a topmost end to seal the applicator storage recess; in which the applicator storage recess is to further receive an applicator comprising an applicator brush-head and an applicator body, in which the applicator brush-head is to receive the cosmetic material to be applied; a cosmetic material transfer compartment (“compartment”) to receive the cosmetic material to be applied, in which the compartment is to receive the applicator brush-head for transfer of the cosmetic material to be applied; a side door adjacent to the cosmetic material transfer compartment, in which the side door opens to provide access to the cosmetic material transfer compartment; a valve portion between the reservoir portion and the cosmetic material transfer compartment; and a pump having a top portion above the reservoir portion, in which the top portion of the pump activates to transport the cosmetic material from the reservoir portion into the cosmetic material transfer compartment through the valve portion; and a pump cap to seal over the pump. Other related embodiments are disclosed.

An applicator including a main body having at least one compartment in which is stored at least one product, the product being liquid or semi-liquid or solid or gaseous, at least one applicator portion configured to deliver the at least one product to an object, and at least one activation mechanism configured to release the at least one product from the at least one compartment for delivery by the at least one applicator.

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 pen has an external shape similar to that of a ballpoint pen or fountain pen. The pen includes a cavity in the tube type pen body for receiving gel varnish, and a brush for applying this to a finger nail. At the front end of the pen body, a sleeve is positioned which can be screwed on, and contained therein are LED/LEV lights, with a battery, for curing the applied gel varnish with UV light.

This invention relates to assemblies, components and method for application of cosmetic products. For example, a cosmetic applicator holder having a base that can be coupled to a makeup applicator and a ring portion for gripping between two fingers. The assemblies are designed to be easy and comfortable to use.

A cosmetic applicator assembly includes a handle body having a proximal end, a distal end, a largest width or diameter of from 0.4 inches to 1.25 inches, and an exterior surface, an elevated feature disposed along the exterior surface and extending from 0.007 inches to 0.020 inches above the exterior surface, and a cosmetic applicator coupled to the distal end of the handle body and constructed to apply a cosmetic. The handle body includes a handle body material. The elevated feature include an elevated feature material, wherein the elevated feature material has a kinetic coefficient of friction of greater than or equal to 0.55 and a hardness of less than or equal to Shore A 70, and a hardness that is less than the hardness of the handle body material.
