Description

[0001] LIP APPLICATOR

[0002] FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The invention relates to an applicator or applicator head for applying a mass to a face, in particular to the lips. The invention also relates to a lip applicator or 3D lip applicator.

[0004] TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

[0005] In the area of ​​lipsticks, sticks are usually used which have a simple straight cylindrical shape and a simple, bevelled or slanted flat surface on their application side in order to apply the mass to the lips.

[0006] This has the disadvantage that no individual application options, such as different line thicknesses and / or individual adaptation to the lip or cheek shape of the user, are possible.

[0007] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0008] In view of the above, it is an object of the invention to provide an applicator (lip applicator or 3D lip applicator) or applicator head for applying a mass to be applied to a face, in particular to the lips, which is easy to use and which in particular offers various forms of use and / or application possibilities.

[0009] INVENTION SOLUTION

[0010] A first inventive solution to this problem is as described by the features of claim 1.

[0011] Further advantageous embodiments are described in the

[0012] Described in subclaims.

[0013] In particular, the applicator according to the invention for applying a mass to a face, in particular to lips, has an applicator head which applies the mass to be applied to the face, in particular to the lips, wherein the applicator head can be attached to a handle on its underside, wherein the applicator head defines a longitudinal axis from its underside with which it can be attached to the handle up to its tip, wherein the outer side or outer surface of the applicator head has concave and convex curvatures or sections, wherein when the applicator head is viewed from the side, the applicator head, starting from the direction of the underside, is first guided outwards away from the longitudinal axis with a first concave section, then has a first convex section which reaches up to the tip of the applicator head, wherein the tip of the applicator head forms a second convex section,which merges into a second concave section, which in turn merges into a third convex section and finally a third concave section leads back towards the underside of the applicator head, whereby when the applicator head is viewed from the front, the applicator head, starting from the direction of the underside, is first led outwards with a fourth concave section, then has a fourth convex section which reaches up to the tip of the applicator head, whereby the tip of the applicator head forms a fifth convex section, which merges into a sixth convex section, which in turn merges into a fifth concave section and leads back towards the underside of the applicator head. The cosmetic mass to be applied can be peeled off from the tip of the applicator or applicator head, so that at least temporarily a layer or a film is applied to the area to be treated,hairy or preferably at least substantially hairless part of the body, in particular the lips and cheeks.

[0014] Since the tip of the applicator or lip applicator has a shape that differs from the prior art and / or the applicator head has several concave and / or convex sections or bulges on its outer surface and / or outside, the mass to be applied can be applied to the face, in particular to the lips, very easily in the desired width and shape.

[0015] Thus, an easy-to-use applicator (lip applicator or 3D lip applicator) or applicator head for applying a mass to be applied to a face, in particular to the lips, with various forms of use or possible uses and / or possible applications is provided.

[0016] OPTINAL DESIGN POSSIBILITIES OF THE INVENTION
