Non-adhesive false eyelash system and method

Abstract

A false eyelash system comprised of upper and lower eyelash assemblies, each including a magnetic and / or metallic element, the assemblies are frictionally secured through magnetic attraction to the wearer's natural eyelash which is sandwiched therebetween.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a false eyelash system that can be easily and conveniently reused. The false eyelashes are made without using adhesives and are comfortable for the wearer's eyes and eyelid skin. They do not leave any residue on the eyelid and do not physically contact it. The system includes an upper eyelash assembly and a lower eyelash assembly, both consisting of a thin, flexible, and lightweight substrate strip. The substrate can be composed of material like textile, non-woven material, polymer, or metal. The system uses magnetic and metallic elements to securely attach the false eyelash to the wearer's natural eyelash. The upper and lower eyelash assemblies can contain eyelash hairs, resulting in a double the fullness of false eyelashes in the prior art.

Problems solved by technology

People are often dissatisfied with the look of their eyelashes or simply wish to don eyelashes that are more suitable to a particular occasion.

First, they are typically single-use items.

That is, once applied and removed they may not be reused.

The act of applying adhesive and removing a false eyelash has a tendency to deform the substrate and / or eyelash hairs.

Second, false eyelashes are difficult to apply.

Often, the false eyelash is not perfectly aligned with the wearer's eyelid and must be re-applied.

If the adhesive bond has set in, removing the eyelash in order to relocate it can result in deformation of the false eyelash and the need to use a new false eyelash.

Third, the adhesive materials used in prior art false eyelashes can irritate some wearers' eyes and / or skin and can often leave a residue on the wearer's eyelid which is often difficult to remove.

Fourth, the adhesive materials used in prior art false eyelashes can lose holding power as it is exposed throughout the day to oils secreted by the wearer's eyelid, resulting in false eyelashes that come loose from the eyelid.

Fifth, false eyelashes in the prior all are limited in the number of hairs that can be applied to the substrate and therefore sometimes do not add sufficient fullness to the wearer's eyelashes.
