Benefits of technology

[0005] A first aspect of the present invention is directed to a method of applying mascara to eyelashes, comprising: a) applying a washable mascara composition to the eyelashes; followed by b) applying a waterproof mascara composition to the eyelashes, wherein the washable mascara composition, the waterproof mascara composition, or both, contain fibers. Eyelashes treated in accordance with the method of the present invention—which includes real and false eyelashes—may have enhanced thickness and exhibit greater water- and smudge-resistance, and ease of removal, compared to typical waterproof and washable mascaras when used alone.

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.

Description

[0001] This application is a CIP of U.S. application Ser. No. 10 / 666,368, filed Sep. 19, 2003, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 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. [0003] 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 wa...
