Benefits of technology

"The present invention is about artificial eyelash hairs that have a decorative applique on at least a portion of their outer surface. The decorative applique is made up of a plurality of individual decorative components that can be the same or different. The decorative components can contrast the artificial eyelash hair on which they are fixed. The decorative applique can be embodied on individual artificial eyelash hairs or on an artificial eyelash set. The decorative component is made up of very small, reflective particles adhered to the outer surface of the individual artificial eyelash hair. The reflective particles can be of different colors, hues, and reflectivity. The applique is formed by adhering the decorative element to the individual artificial eyelash hair with an adhesive. When the applique is applied to an artificial eyelash set, the adhesive can cover substantially the full length of the individual hairs protruding from the support strip. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a more natural-looking and customizable decorative applique for artificial eyelashes."

[0024]In one non-limiting example of use, production of an eyelash extension 10 in accordance with the present disclosure is discussed. The production method comprises thoroughly mixing on a flat clean surface a combination of colored crystals with a knife or any similar utensil. One can typically use 3 or 4 colors to produce the finished color. There are literally an infinite number of combinations possible. A few cubic centimeters are sufficient for hundreds of lashes. Most combinations of the colored elements should contain black. Black provides depth and gives the lashes the desired darker look.

[0025]Adhesive is then poured out, six drops should be enough for about 100 lashes. Since the adhesive will dry over time, the amount poured should be metered to ensure excess adhesive is not poured and subsequently wasted. Using tweezers individual lashes are retrieved by their respective blunt ends and immersed in the adhesive until a thin coat of adhesive evenly covers the body surface...

Abstract

A decorative artificial eyelash hair (10) has an artificial eyelash hair (12) with a base portion (14), a tip portion (16) and an outer surface (18). A decorative applique (20) is adhered to at least a portion of the outer surface (18) of the artificial eyelash hair (12). The applique includes a decorative component (28) fixed to the outer surface (18) of the hair (12) by an adhesive (24). The decorative component (28) is made of very small, reflective particles adhered to the outer surface of the individual artificial eyelash hair. The reflective particles (28) were accomplished using plastic film and colored crystals of different colors, hues and reflectivity. The particles (28) were adhered to the individual artificial eyelash hairs (10) with an adhesive: ethoxy-ethyl cyanoacrylate. The decorative artificial eyelash hair (10) can be practiced as artificial eyelash single hair extensions (10a), or it can be practiced on the individual artificial eyelash hairs of an artificial eyelash set (10b).
