Abstract

The present invention is an eyelash curler comprising a fixed stainless steel spatula with attached handle. It utilizes no moving parts. It is operated by a one-handed procedure, allowing the user to apply controlled pressure onto the lash with just the thumb, resulting in a better curl and less chance of pinching the eyelid. It is more easily sterilized and kept clean than conventional eye curlers, thus reducing the possibility of eye irritation or infection resulting from its use.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to the field of cosmetic devices, and more particularly to eyelash curlers. DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART [0002] Prior art has seen the development of eyelash curlers that are generally constructed of multiple moving parts. Some resemble a tong-like apparatus and function with a scissor-like action that essentially crimps the lashes using indirect force, while the jaws apply direct force. The hand itself would be located away from the eyelashes. [0003] Eyelash curlers currently used can obscure the vision of the eye and are awkward to use, which can be intimidating and unsafe. The device can be held in a multitude of angles, which can also be very confusing to someone unfamiliar with curling the lashes or unfamiliar with the device itself. Some unwanted effects of eyelash curlers are that the user may accidentally pull out eyelashes, or tear or break them. Control of these devices can be difficult, especially for the inexperienc...
