Benefits of technology

The present invention is about a method for applying mascara to eyelashes. The method involves applying a washable mascara composition to the eyelashes first, followed by applying a waterproof mascara composition to the eyelashes. This results in eyelashes that are thicker, more resistant to water and smudge, and easier to remove compared to using typical waterproof and washable mascaras alone. The invention also includes a product or system that includes a washable mascara composition and a waterproof mascara composition, along with an applicator for applying the mascara compositions. The package also includes a system with a washable mascara composition and a waterproof mascara composition, along with applicator elements for applying the mascara compositions.

Problems solved by technology

However, they are prone to smudge such as when rubbed.
In addition, they are not resistant to water.
However, unlike washable mascaras, they cannot be removed simply with soap and water.

[0042] Evaluation of Performance

[0043] A panel study was conducted in which the washable mascara described in example 1 was applied to the eyelashes of (one / two eye / eyes) of 6 panelists, followed by the application of the waterproof mascara described in example 2. Many application attributes were evaluated, including overall wear (judged in terms of hours), and smudging / smearing, ease of application, speed of build-up, length of lashes, thickening of lashes, amount of curl, amount of spiking, amount of flaking, homogeneity of application (i.e., amount of balls or globs on lashes), softness, wetness (or lack of dryness) of appearance, time for drying, comfort, overall appearance and ease of removal. The results shown in FIG. 4 were on the basis of an evaluation conducted immediately after application. The results shown in FIG. 5 were on the basis of an evaluation conducted 4 hours after application. They show that the mascara system of the present invention was judged very favorably...

Abstract

Disclosed are methods for applying mascara compositions to eyelashes, comprising applying washable mascara followed by applying waterproof mascara. Mascara products and systems, and packages containing the products are also disclosed.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] Mascaras are commonly prepared as wax-based formulations according to two types. Washable mascaras, which can be removed with soap and water, generally come in the form of an emulsion of waxes in water such as creams, as well as in gels. Waterproof mascaras, which require use of oils for removal, generally come in the form of dispersions of waxes in organic solvents. [0002] Each type of mascara has advantages and disadvantages. Application of washable mascaras enhances volume; that is, they thicken the eyelashes. However, they are prone to smudge such as when rubbed. In addition, they are not resistant to water. Waterproof mascaras on the other hand are relatively water-resistant and are less likely to run or smudge. However, unlike washable mascaras, they cannot be removed simply with soap and water. They require the use of organic based cleansing agents such as mineral oil. [0003] There have been many developments in cosmetics for application to ...
