Integrated Makeup Brush with Rubber Dotting Head and Bristle Sweeper
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing makeup tools, such as beauty eggs and powder puffs, are cumbersome and prone to absorbing liquid or cream cosmetics, leading to waste and residue issues, which can affect subsequent makeup applications and lead to mold or dryness if not cleaned promptly.
Innovation Solution
A multi-functional makeup brush that integrates a rubber head and bristles, allowing for efficient application and spreading of cosmetics without absorption, and can be easily cleaned, reducing waste and residue.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of substance
If beauty eggs or powder puffs are used to take and dot liquid or cream cosmetics, then the makeup can be applied to the face, but the makeup is prone to be absorbed by the porous sponge structure, causing waste and residue
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the material parameter of the makeup tool from porous sponge (beauty egg/powder puff) to non-porous rubber material. This parameter change eliminates the absorption characteristic that causes makeup waste, while the smooth rubber surface remains easy to clean by wiping
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite makeup tool combining rubber material (for taking and dotting liquid/cream cosmetics) with bristles (for spreading powder cosmetics). This composite structure allows the tool to handle different cosmetic types effectively without absorbing makeup, solving both the waste problem and the versatility need
2Productivity
If multiple separate tools are used for taking, dotting, and sweeping cosmetics, then each function can be performed, but the makeup process becomes cumbersome and requires multiple tools
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple makeup tool functions into a single integrated brush. The rubber head combines the taking and dotting functions for liquid/cream cosmetics, while the attached bristles provide the sweeping function for powder cosmetics. This merging reduces the number of separate tools needed and streamlines the makeup process
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal makeup brush that can handle multiple cosmetic types and application steps. The rubber head handles liquid and cream cosmetics, while the bristle component handles powder cosmetics, making one tool capable of performing multiple makeup functions that previously required separate tools
3Ease of operation
If the rubber head and bristles are integrated on the same end of the handle, then a single tool can complete dotting and sweeping operations, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the brush head into distinct functional components: a rubber head portion for taking and dotting liquid/cream cosmetics, and a separate bristle portion for spreading powder cosmetics. Both segments are attached to the same handle end, allowing independent manufacturing and assembly while maintaining operational convenience

AI summary
A makeup brush is disclosed, which includes a handle, a rubber head for dipping and dotting a makeup, and bristles for sweeping the makeup. The rubber head and the bristles are connected to the same end of the handle. The handle includes a handle body. An end of the handle body is provided with an accommodating cavity. A first end of the rubber head and a first end of the bristles are embedded in the accommodating cavity in parallel and fastened to the handle body. The handle includes a bottom base. The bottom base includes a flat surface to which at least one of the first end of the rubber head and the first end of the bristles is bonded. The bottom base is embedded in the accommodating cavity, and is detachably connected to the handle body.
