Problems solved by technology

When doing it by hand, it is difficult to keep both cat eyes identical and get the desired shape.
It is especially challenging for somebody that is applying eyeliner around their own eyes.
Making one perfect cat eye, much less two identical and perfectly formed cat eyes, can be challenging for a professional and is even more intimidating and daunting for the average person who is not trained in makeup techniques.
It can be challenging to make symmetrical cat eyes because the length of the cat eye tail must be the same on both eyes, the angle of the cat eye must be the same on both eyes, and the varying width of the cat eye must be the same at all points on both eyes.

first preferred embodiment

[0060]FIGS. 18 to 21, best viewed in conjunction with Figure lb, show a first preferred prototype embodiment of the cat eye makeup applicator 10 from various sides. As shown, the cat eye makeup applicator 10 comprises a handle 20 having a distal end 21, and a cat eye stamping member 30 attached to the distal end 21 of the handle 20. The cat eye stamping member 30 comprises a left-side cat eye stamp or stamping surface 33L and a right-side cat-eye stamp or stamping surface 33R on an opposite side. The two stamping surface 33L, 33R are mirror images of one another so that the cat eye makeup applicator 10 can be reversed for applying left and right-side cat eyes and so that when one cat eye stamping surface is being applied to the user's eyes, the opposite side stamping surface functions as a placement guide.

Other Stamp Shapes

[0061]FIGS. 22 to 23 show examples of additional shapes for use with the cat eye makeup applicator 10. In the presently preferred embodiment, as discussed below, ...

second embodiment

[0063]FIGS. 24a and 24b illustrate a second preferred embodiment of a cat eye makeup applicator 210 comprised of a handle 210 and a cat eye stamping member 230. Here, however, the stamping member 230 is detachable from the handle 220. In more detail, the preferred handle 210 is formed of a rigid material (metal, plastic, etc.) and a distal end 221 of the handle 220 is provided with a support extension 222.

[0064]The cat eye stamping member 230, like the first embodiment, has left-side and right-side stamping surfaces 233L (opposite side) and 233R (shown). In this embodiment, however, the overall cat eye stamping member 230 is generally formed from a common material that is soft and elastic, preferably silicone rubber, so that the stamping surface compresses against the user's face to thoroughly transfer eyeliner to the user's skin from substantially the entire surface of the stamping surface. In other words, there is no need for separate stamp supports made of foam.

third embodiment

[0067]FIGS. 25a and 25b illustrate a cat eye makeup applicator 310 according to a third preferred embodiment that is similar to the second, the difference being that the handle 320′s distal tip 321 comprises not just one, but two concentric support extensions 322, 323.

[0068]For detachable connection to the handle 320, the third preferred cat eye stamping member 330 comprises a tip portion (having the left and right-side stamping surfaces) and a base portion 341 comprised of a sleeve 342 and a neck 343. As best shown in FIG. 25b, the sleeve 342 is pressed onto the handle 320 such that the support extensions 322, 323 extend into corresponding internal channels (not separately numbered) within the stamping member 330. The second support extension 323 is useful for supporting the relatively flexible neck 343 of a stamping member 330 formed of silicone
