Benefits of technology

[0014]In view of foregoing problems, it is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a makeup applicator easy to replace, carry and keep, and cosmetics in use of the applicator.

[0015]To achieve the above described object, the present invention includes a makeup applicator, comprising an applicator wand; a support cap for supporting the applicator wand; and a female screw portion formed on the inner circumferential surface of the support cap. This construction allows a user to easily stand the support cap on a surface, which is convenient for replacement and temporal storage.

[0017]In this embodiment, the mascara brush may include a first mascara brush having a large diameter and a second mascara brush having a smaller diameter than the first mascara brush, the second mascara brush being arranged at a tilt angle with respect to the first mascara brush. Because of the diameter difference between the two mascara brushes in this embodiment, the user can accurately apply mascara to the curved edges of the upper eyelashes and the lower eyelashes, and the tilt arrangement helps the user conveniently apply mascara in a one-step operation according to the shape of the eyes.

[0020]According to this embodiment, if the user pulls the container, the applicator screwed to the container for functioning as a cap is also pulled out with the container, thereby demonstrating properties like convenient replacement, handling, and carrying around.

[0021]In this embodiment of the present invention, a groove is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the support cap, and a projection to join with the groove is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the handle. This construction ensures that the support cap does not incidentally escape from the handle.

[0022]The makeup applicator and cosmetics in use of the applicator in accordance with the various embodiments of the present invention have several advantages. Since the support cap supports the applicator wand while being removably coupled to the handle, it is very convenient to make the applicator stand on a surface, and the wand of the applicator can easily be pulled away, leaving relatively little mascara liquid behind. Moreover, since the support cap can be screwed to the container, a user simply needs to pull the container in order to replace the applicator. Thus, it is very convenient to replace, keep, and handle the makeup applicator.

Problems solved by technology

However, women who use the typical in-line long lash mascara brush often find that application of eyelash makeup with the brush is very time-consuming and that it is difficult to curl eyelashes evenly into a desired shape.

Although curved mascara brushes are available on the market and easy to get, general consumers tend to buy the in-line mascara brush presumably because of the economic burden imposed.

Manufacturing costs of curved mascara brushes are higher than in-line mascara brushes because it takes more money to get a particular container design and color for the interior, and the cap in general is not recyclable.

However, the replacement brush 70 corresponds to a tip that needs to be kept in ones, so it is not easy to keep and carry around.

Therefore, when a user wants to temporarily exchange the replacement brush 70 with another, the surface of whatever the brush is placed on is stained and gets dirty.
