Cosmetic article

Abstract

Cosmetic article (1) for application to the eyelid, the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows, including:—at least one element (2) to be applied,—at least one adhesive layer (5) which is at least partially in contact with the element (2) to be applied, this adhesive layer (5) including at least one water-resistant adhesive material, and—at least one layer (6) for protecting the adhesive layer (5), externally covering same and including at least one water-soluble polymer.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a cosmetic article to be applied to human keratinous materials, namely the eyelids, the eyelashes and / or the eyebrows, and also to the production of such an article and to the application thereof to these keratinousmaterials. The invention relates, more particularly but not exclusively, to an article including one or more false eyelashes to be applied to the eyelashes, the eyebrows and / or the eyelid, or a shell, a strip or a patch to be applied to the eyelid.PRIOR ART[0002]In general, to apply false eyelashes or eyelash extensions, the person has, on the one hand, false eyelashes and, on the other hand, a bottle of special glue, which may be in the same package. In a first stage, he or she places the glue on the false eyelashes. Some glues contain solvents with an unpleasant odour: this is the case, for example, for the glue known under the trade name Ardell Lashtite Clear Adhesive. Next, he or she waits until this deposit of glu...

Benefits of technology

[0024]One advantage of the invention is that of being able to stack the articles in the packaging without the need for an interleaving support, for example. In other words, the protective layer of one of the articles may come directly into contact with another article. The packaging may thus be compact and generate less waste.

[0029]where appropriate, drying the protective layer.

[0030]The term “fluid state” means that the protective layer in this state flows under its own weight, as opposed to a solid state.

[0031]The process may include the preliminary step of preparing the element to be applied.

[0032]The protective layer may be at least partially removed by wetting it, preferably with water, which brings about the at least partial dissolution of the water-soluble polymer. The protective layer then ceases to externally cover the adhesive layer at least in places, and said layer can come into contact with the surface onto which it is desired to bond the element to be applied.

[0033]According to another of its aspects, a subject of the invention is also a process for applying a cosmetic article as defined above to the eyelid, the eyelashes and / or the eyebrows, including the following steps:

Problems solved by technology

This application is intricate or even difficult since the spreading of the glue on the false eyelashes is not always uniform, which may result in unsightly surpluses of glue or, on the contrary, absences of glue which will penalize the hold of the false eyelashes.

Furthermore, this application is long since it requires partial drying of the glue.

Such supports are difficult to recycle, they are for a single use and / or are relatively expensive.

Furthermore, since the surface of the false eyelashes is tacky, the false eyelashes have a tendency to catch the surrounding dust: rigorous conditions of cleanliness and handling of the false eyelashes are thus necessary for the use of such presized false eyelashes and for their storage.
