Mascara applicator

Abstract

To provide a mascara applicator which is capable of, e.g., fitting the curve of the root of eyelashes to raise the eyelashes, adhering a mascara liquid to the root of the eyelashes to impart an increased volume thereto, spreading the mascara liquid on the eyelashes to widely fan out the eyelashes, and widely spreading the mascara liquid accurately on fine parts such as outer eye corners, inner eye corners, and lower eyelashes, and which can give a finish feeling of omnidirectional extension type mascara. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] The mascara applicator (1) comprises a long core material (2) and an application part supported by the core material (2) and constituted of an upper application part (5) and a lower application part (6) which protrude from the core material cross-sectionally outward and are used to hold a mascara liquid and apply it to eyelashes, the applicator having a cross section in which the lower application part has a shorter length than the upper application part. The applicator is characterized in that the upper application part has a section along the longitudinal axial direction for the core material, the section being a hill-shaped section constituted of one and a half hills successively disposed along the longitudinal direction from a base end part to a tip part of the core material.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a brush-shaped or comb-shaped applicator for applying eyelash cosmetic materials such as mascara. Background technique [0002] Conventional mascara applicators for applying cosmetic materials for eyelashes are formed by twisting a metal core material into a double helix shape and forming the core material into a long strip, and then twisting brush-like fibers into the core material. The brush-shaped fibers are held so that they protrude radially from the core material from the proximal end to the distal end of the core material. [0003] In addition, in the conventional mascara applicator, a brush-shaped fiber bundle is formed in a cylindrical shape around the linear core material around the core material. The adhesion amount of mascara is basically the same everywhere on the application surface composed of bundles, no matter which part of the application tool is used to apply mascara, the feeling of use is basically ...

Problems solved by technology

[0011] However, in the conventional applicators described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, which are only formed into fan-shaped cross-section brush-like fiber bundles, although the fan-shaped outer periphery can be used to coat the wide area of ​​​​the eyelashes, it cannot be used. Curve the applicator along the base of the lashes so that the lashes do not lift overall or allow a sufficient amount of mascara to adhere to the base of the lashes

In addition, in the case of the conventional brush-like fiber bundle shape described in Patent Document 3, although the wide outer peripheral surface of the brush-like fiber bundle bent along the shape of the eyelids and the root curve of the eyelashes can hold the mascara from the The center of the length direction of each eyelash is applied to the front, but the mascara cannot be attached to the root of the eyelashes or the eyelashes cannot be turned up from the root.
