The present invention relates to an applicator brush (1) for applying a cosmetic, make-up or care product to human keratin materials, especially the eyebrows, comprising a handle (4) which extends along a longitudinal axis (X) and, at the distal end thereof, an applicator head (2) having distal (2c) and proximal ends, and carrying a tuft (3) of bristles (6), the free ends (6a) of which define an applicator surface (5) that is convex towards the outside, in which applicator the applicator head (2) extends along a longitudinal axis (Y) that is not parallel to the longitudinal axis (X) of the handle (4), and wherein the tuft (3) of bristles (6) is arranged such that the transverse dimension of the applicator surface (5) increases towards the distal end (2c) of the applicator head (2), passing through a maximum, before decreasing from the location at which the transverse dimension is maximum towards the distal end (2c), the maximum of the transverse dimension of the applicator surface (5) being closer to the proximal end of the applicator head (2) than to the distal end (2c) thereof.

A capsule integrated with a nail polish applying element for usage by a nail polish application apparatus comprising a capsule compartment and a pressure applying element, the capsule comprising a container defining a reservoir containing nail polish fluid, the container comprising an upper face with an opening sealed with a sliding gasket and a bottom face, wherein a volume of the reservoir is reduced and an internal pressure is built in the reservoir when pressure application slides the sliding gasket towards the bottom face, and a container housing comprising a body portion shaped to receive and accommodate the container, one or more conveying tunnels having a proximal end mechanically fixated to a bottom side of the body portion and a nail polish applying element mounted to receive the nail polish fluid from a distal end of the conveying tunnel(s) for applying the nail polish fluid on a nail surface.

A kit for usage by a nail polish application apparatus, the kit comprising one or more nail polish capsules. Each of the nail polish capsule(s) comprises a body portion defining a reservoir containing a nail polish fluid and a non-screw detachable cover having an integrated nail polish applying element. The non-screw detachable cover is mechanically coupled to an upper face of the body portion to seal an opening in the upper face.

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.

A method for controlling display of a user interface for optimizing performance in using a personal care appliance is provided including: receiving a user info or regimen; receiving a protocol or routine to use the appliance; receiving an appliance status related to a user's usage of the appliance; comparing the appliance status to a target usage of the appliance in the protocol or routine; and controlling display of an indicator of the user's performance based on the comparison.

A personal care appliance is provided that includes a brushhead for use in skincare; an appliance body having a motor assembly for oscillating the brushhead, wherein the brushhead or a portion of the motor assembly that is configured to oscillate includes a marking; and a brush encoder configured to detect the marking, and determine the oscillation of the brushhead.

A system to promote optimum performance of a personal care appliance is provided including: a personal care appliance having an appliance status; and a client device, in communication with the appliance, including circuitry configured to compare the appliance status with the protocol for using the appliance, control display of an indicator based on the comparison.

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 for applying a cosmetic, makeup or care, product to human keratin fibres, in eyelashes and/or eyebrows, having a stem and, at the distal end, an applicator member having a core that extends along a longitudinal axis, wherein the stem has a rectilinear portion extending along a rectilinear longitudinal axis and curved portion extending along a curvilinear longitudinal axis, the distance between the longitudinal axis of the rectilinear portion of the stem and longitudinal axis of the stem curved portion, measured perpendicularly to the axis, increasing in the distal end direction of the stem, along at least a part of the length of the curved portion, and distance between the core longitudinal axis and longitudinal axis of the stem rectilinear portion, measured perpendicularly to the axis, decreasing by going away from the distal end of the stem, along at least a part of the length of the applicator member.

A cosmetic brush fiber includes five substantially parallel outer edges extending along a length of the cosmetic brush fiber; and five substantially parallel inner edges extending along the length of the cosmetic brush fiber, wherein the cosmetic brush fiber defines a star-shaped transverse cross section.
