Integrated Reservoir Makeup Brush with Wand Dispensing Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional makeup brushes do not provide storage space for makeup products, requiring users to carry separate containers, and there is a need for a tool that can apply and store various types of makeup products effectively, eliminating the need for multiple bottles.
Innovation Solution
A makeup brush with an integrated reservoir in the wand portion that can be filled with liquid foundation or loose powder, featuring a shaft connecting the reservoir to the brush head for dispensing the product onto the skin, and a push button or rotating mechanism for controlled dispensing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If conventional makeup brushes are used, then makeup application function is provided, but storage space for makeup products is not available
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the makeup brush and makeup product storage container into a single integrated device. The reservoir is embedded within the brush handle, merging the functions of application (brush) and storage (container) into one unified tool, eliminating the need to carry separate containers.
Solution Approach 2:
The brush handle serves multiple functions: it acts as both the structural component for holding the brush and as a storage reservoir for makeup products. This multi-functional design allows the same object to perform both application and storage roles simultaneously.
2Ease of operation
If separate makeup product containers are carried, then makeup product storage is enabled, but portability and convenience are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The reservoir is nested within the brush handle structure, with the storage compartment fitting inside the existing handle geometry. This nesting approach maximizes storage capacity while maintaining the compact form factor of the original brush, allowing sufficient makeup product storage without increasing overall device size.
3Adaptability or versatility
If an integrated reservoir is added to the brush, then storage and application functions are combined, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The brush handle is segmented into distinct functional zones: the reservoir compartment for product storage, the dispensing mechanism area, and the traditional brush attachment region. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while maintaining overall structural coherence and ease of manufacturing.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a makeup applicator brush device for storing and dispensing a cosmetic/makeup product for application onto the skin of a user, thereby eliminating the need to carry multiple bottles of makeup. The device is a combination of a makeup bottle and a brush and features a reservoir for storing and dispensing makeup product onto bristles of a brush head. The makeup product is selectively dispensed upon either pushing a push button disposed on a wand of the device or by turning a connector disposed between the wand and brush head of the device. The device can be used for storing and dispensing any type of cosmetic formulation and allows for convenient, compact, and portable application in a singular brush.
