The present invention relates to a cosmetic applicator for applying a non-liquid composition (P) to human keratin materials, the applicator: —comprising a stem (7) that extends along a longitudinal axis (X), —defining an internal space (9) that is able to contain the composition (P) to be applied, and —having at least one opening (18) that is in communication with the internal space (9) and leads onto an application surface (8).

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.

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.

The present invention relates to an applicator for applying a cosmetic, makeup or care product to the eyelashes and/or eyebrows, having an application member comprising a core that extends along a longitudinal axis, and spikes that are carried by the core and are arranged in groups of spikes within longitudinal rows, in which applicator the groups of spikes are preferably uniformly spaced along the longitudinal rows and each comprise at least two spikes, at least one longitudinal row of spikes being axially offset with respect to the consecutive longitudinal row, in such a way that at least one group of spikes of the offset row occupies the same axial position as a space free of spikes between two groups of spikes of the consecutive row.

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 rotating cosmetics brush includes a movable brush head mounted in a housing. A motion actuator is operative to move the brush head in a rotational motion, wherein the brush head rotates about a rotational axis and simultaneously moves in a non-oscillatory movement about another axis different than the rotational axis.

Applicator (3) for applying a cosmetic or care product, which extends along a longitudinal axis (X) and has: —an applicator member (6), —a holder (5) for the applicator member, and a handle (10) that defines a gripping surface allowing the user to hold the applicator during the application of the product, the handle being deformable with shape memory at least along a part of its length.

A device for three-dimensionally printing a sleeve (10) for receiving a cosmetic applicator (20) is disclosed. The device includes a printer for printing in three dimensions. The printer is designed to receive a digital file and to print the sleeve. The device further includes a calculator capable of adapting the dimensions of the sleeve (10) to be printed to those of a user's finger. A method for three-dimensionally printing a sleeve (10) for receiving a cosmetic applicator (20) also is disclosed.

An electrical appliance for personal care includes a handle with a longitudinal axis, and a plug-on part which can be attached to the handle, wherein a vibration unit having an electric motor and an eccentric element is arranged in the handle, wherein a plug-like coupling structure protrudes from the handle, which plug-like coupling structure forms an interface with a substantially mirror-inverted socket-like coupling structure of the plug-on part, wherein the interface has at least two stages with different circumferential geometry, wherein at least one of the stages has a rotation-preventing device between the handle and the plug-on part, and wherein a stop surface of the handle for the plug-on part extends obliquely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the handle.

A makeup applicator tool includes a shaft, a tightly woven thin cotton swab, a micro-bristled brush, and a woven cotton bulb. The makeup applicator tool is useful for manipulation of mascara applied to the eyelashes of a user, and alternately to remove excess mascara from the eye area of the user with the micro-bristled brush, and the woven cotton bulb. The makeup applicator tool also can apply and alternately remove eyeshadow with the tightly woven thin cotton swab. The entirety of the makeup applicator tool is made of environmentally-safe materials, for efficient environmental breakdown after disposal.
