The present invention recognizes that there exists a long felt need for brush heads and brushes having material application and buffing properties. A first aspect of the present invention is a brush head. A second aspect of the present invention is a brush including a brush head of the present invention. A third aspect of the present invention is a method of making a brush head of the present invention. A fourth aspect of the present invention is a method of making a brush of the present invention. A fifth aspect of the present invention is a method of using a brush head of the present invention. A sixth aspect of the present invention is a method of using a brush of the present invention.

A brush bristle cover encompasses the bristles of the makeup brush head for the purposes of hygiene, protection, and convenience. The arrangement of the apparatus allows for protection of brush bristles during transportation and immediately after use. The apparatus creates an enclosure around the bristles of the brush. Being made of a shape retaining material, especially silicone or other such durable semirigid materials, the desired protective function can be achieved without damaging a carrying bag or purse. The apparatus prevents the bristles from receiving damage due to the ambient environment in which the bristles are stored while simultaneously allowing the contained portion of the brush head to retain in its desired shape. This method of storage will allow the brush to stay free of environmental irritants, thus requiring less frequent washing practices. The apparatus will increase the longevity of the brush bristles by protecting them from being displaced during storage.

An electronic device case includes a housing to hold an electronic device on a first side of the case; a slidable drawer provided on an opposite side of the case, slidably retractable from the housing, the drawer containing removably selectable trays for storing make-up, and being arranged to magnetically interact with an inner surface of the drawer; and a make-up applicator arranged within the drawer, the make-up applicator being configured to magnetically interact with an inner surface of the drawer to enable the brush to be removably fixed in position within the drawer and to be released when gripped by a user.

A cosmetic brush cleaning pad for efficiently maintaining the cleanliness of makeup brushes while controlling microbial growth in the fiber bundle. The cosmetic brush cleaning pad generally includes a base housing and an upper platform adapted to be removably secured over the base housing. A cleaning member which is generally flexible woven fabric may be removably wrapped around the upper platform prior to it being secured to the base housing. The base housing may include an optional lid which is hingedly secured thereto and includes an access opening for allowing access to the cleaning member when the lid is closed. By assembling the present invention and dragging a cosmetic brush thereacross, the cleaning brush may be cleaned of cosmetics for further use.

Disclosed is a new fiber which has a triangular cross section, and which may be used as a substitute for animal hair with comparable pickup and other properties. The disclosure also relates to methods for providing same.

A cosmetic packaging that is structured to hold and dispense a generally solid cosmetic product. The packaging may include a barrel and a package head. The packaging may further include an applicator comb coupled to the package head adjacent to an end region of the package head. The applicator comb may have a first end configured to be coupled the package head, an application end, and a lumen extending therebetween.

A cosmetic applicator includes a handle part and a brush part made of bristle materials planted in the handle part and is used to apply a powdery cosmetic containing a fine powder, wherein such cosmetic applicator is characterized in that the bristle materials are planted in the ring-shaped part formed between the interior surface of the handle part and the exterior surface of the core provided in the handle part, and the bristle materials of the brush part extend upward from the handle part and their tips form an outer periphery having a horizontal shape relative to the handle part, while forming a shape gradually concaving from the outer periphery toward the center axis of the brush part.
