BACKGROUND

For a person to apply cosmetics, for example, makeup, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, and/or eye shadow, it is desirous that the cosmetics look consistent as applied on the skin. However, many users of cosmetics have to manually use their hands to neatly apply the cosmetics and face challenges in doing so. Naturally, a person's skin is not amenable to providing a steady or smooth surface and accordingly, the person would have to take great care and suffer much anguish in applying cosmetics.

One solution has been that individuals typically use thin, disposable tape or pieces of paper to aid in applying their cosmetics to their skin on a daily basis. Typically, the thin disposable tape or paper does not provide proper support and placing adhesive tape on the skin is often irritating to the skin. Additionally, such thin disposable tape or paper does not conform to the curvature of a human face and make it extremely difficult to apply cosmetics in an effective way.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

A cosmetic applicator tool system may comprise a cosmetic applicator tool and a storage housing for storing the cosmetic applicator tool. The cosmetic applicator tool may be in a triangular shape combination of rectilinear and curvilinear sides, made of flexible material for guiding the application of cosmetics. With three unique sides forming, for example, a scalene triangle, the cosmetic applicator tool may provide a variety of boundaries for using as guide posts while applying cosmetics. Additionally, by the cosmetic applicator tool forming a triangle with three edges and three vertices, where each vertex is curved differently from the other two vertices, the cosmetic applicator tool may facilitate a variety of angles and shapes being drawn.

One embodiment of the cosmetic applicator tool may provide three edges, where a first edge may be straight, a second edge may be curved at a first angle, a third edge that may be curved at a second angle, and where the first angle and the second angle are different from each other. In this embodiment, the first angle and the second angle are tangential angles of a curve in the Cartesian plane, at a specific point, where the angles are the angle between the tangent line to the curve at a given point and the x-axis. That is, the second edge comprises a degree of curvature that may be different than the degree of curvature of the third edge.

The cosmetic applicator tool may be comprised of flexible material, such as, rubber or silicone, and provide a tacky coating on the outer surface. In one embodiment, silicone rubber may be used as an elastomer, i.e., rubber-like material, composed of silicone—itself a polymer—comprising silicon together with carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and having hypoallergenic characteristics. The cosmetic applicator tool may comprise a slightly tacky coating, e.g., to a small degree, so that it is not considerably of glue, or other substances, but may have the ability to retain a slightly sticky feel. The slightly tacky coating allows for the tool to adhere to the skin to help keep it in place. In one embodiment, the silicone, along with the tacky coating, effect the adherence of the cosmetic applicator tool to the skin via warming up the silicone for approximately 10-15 seconds. Accordingly, the cosmetic applicator tool may gently adhere to the skin and provide a guided support for securing and positioning the cosmetic applicator tool in order to apply cosmetics. Upon a rise in the temperature, for example, by rubbing the cosmetic applicator tool between the fingers, the tacky coating is activated allowing for the cosmetic applicator tool to be gently fastened to the skin, thereby, freeing the hands for other uses.

In one embodiment of the cosmetic applicator tool system, the cosmetic applicator tool may be shaped in a way so as to provide ease of use and ability to hold and apply cosmetics simultaneously. Accordingly, the cosmetic applicator tool may be in the shape of a three-sided guide with three unique sides, offering a variety of angles and liner shapes, for every eye shape and liner style. The cosmetic applicator tool may be flexible, i.e., capable of bending easily without breaking, and shaped to fit all contours of the face. In one embodiment, by gently sticking to the skin, the cosmetic applicator tool, without disturbing makeup, may provide a holding position. Accordingly, using the flexible material and shape, the cosmetic applicator tool may be ideal for effortlessly reaching every nook and corner of the face while affording a guided mechanism for applying cosmetics to the skin.

Embodiments of the cosmetic applicator tool utilize material having washable qualities which may then be reused after washing it with liquid. The cosmetic applicator tool may then be allowed to dry fully to return to the original form. In one embodiment of the cosmetic applicator tool system, the cosmetic applicator tool may be cleaned with a special cleanser and dried in a well-ventilated area.

Embodiments of the cosmetic applicator tool system comprise a storage housing for storing the cosmetic applicator tool and may be a volume-enclosing container for storage. The storage housing may comprise a removable and/or adjustable lid member that may be detachably attached via one or more hinges to a base member. The system may also comprise a base member, where the base member may receive a suction cup on the outer surface. In one embodiment of the cosmetic applicator tool system, a cosmetic applicator tool may be placed inside the storage housing via a set of arm brackets, while allowing the cosmetic applicator tool system to be detachably attached to a solid surface—affording the user the ability to use the mirror inside the lid member. The suction cup assembly may use the negative air pressure to adhere to nonporous surfaces, creating a partial vacuum.

FIG. 1 depicts an exemplary embodiment of the cosmetic applicator tool system 100 which may comprise a flexible cosmetic applicator tool 110, having characteristic abilities to stick to the skin to provide positioning guidance in applying cosmetics to the skin and a containing member, i.e., storage housing 150. This embodiment may also comprise a reflective surface, e.g., a mirror 155, placed on the inside of a removable and/or adjustable lid member 160 that may be detachably attached via one or more hinges 165 to a base member 170, thereby making it a mirrored compact. The mirror 155 may, in some embodiments, be one with a magnifying capability, for example, magnify by five times. The figure shows flexible cosmetic applicator tool 110 inside the storage housing 150. As described herein, the flexible cosmetic applicator tool 110 may be reusable and have the ability to temporarily stick to the skin via a tacky coating on the outer surface. Additionally, the storage housing 150 may comprise a base member 170 having three arm brackets (see FIG. 4) for holding the cosmetic applicator tool 110 in place.

FIG. 2A depicts, in a perspective view, an exemplary cosmetic applicator tool 110 of the cosmetic applicator tool system 100. The cosmetic applicator tool 110 is shown as having a thickness 212—creating a volume between two surfaces 204—comprising silicon material, with optional anti-microbial agents. In one exemplary embodiment, the thickness 212 may be approximately 1 mm to 2 mm. In one embodiment, the anti-microbial agents may in effect inhibit the growth of bacteria. The cosmetic applicator tool 110 where the tool may comprise a tacky coating, the tool may be comprised of a silicone rubber having a layer of slightly tacky coating having the ability to retain a slightly sticky quality.

FIG. 2B depicts, in a top view, an exemplary cosmetic applicator tool 110 of the cosmetic applicator tool system 100. The cosmetic applicator tool 110 may be a triangular shaped combination of rectilinear 225 and curvilinear sides 221,223. In one exemplary embodiment, the rectilinear side may measure approximately 31 mm to 32 mm, where the one curvilinear side may also measure approximately 31 mm to 32 mm, and the other curvilinear side may measure approximately 28 mm to 29 mm. With three unique sides 221,223,225 forming, for example, a scalene triangle, the cosmetic applicator tool may provide a variety of boundaries for using as guide posts while applying cosmetics so as to offer different surface areas for usage on the skin. Additionally, by the cosmetic applicator tool forming a triangle with three side edges 221,223,225 and three vertices 222,224,226, where each vertex is curved differently from the other two vertices, the cosmetic applicator tool 110 may facilitate a variety of angles and shapes being drawn. The cosmetic applicator tool 110 may provide different angles, curvatures, and lengths to be used on different target areas on the skin, with precision and ease. The cosmetic applicator tool 110 is therefore shaped and adapted to adjust to the curvatures of each human face based on how the user holds the cosmetic applicator tool 110 and which side of the cosmetic applicator tool 110 is applied against the skin.

In one embodiment of the exemplary cosmetic applicator tool 110, on one end, a more pointed vertex/corner 226 may allow for application to narrower and tapered areas, for example, near the eyes, without over reaching and without covering unwanted areas. The pointed vertex/corner 226 may, for example, be used to draw smaller and more succinct lines. On another end, a more rounded corner 224 may provide for even more precise positioning, whereas on the opposite end, a less rounded corner 222, i.e., more oval shaped curve, may be used for covering larger surface areas. Accordingly, the shape of the cosmetic applicator tool 110 enables control of the placement in different areas where via each corner, different shapes may be guided to be drawn. Additionally, the cosmetic applicator tool 110, having differently shaped side edges 221,223,225, allows for lines having different shapes and characteristic to be drawn while using the cosmetic applicator tool 110 as a guide. For example, the rectilinear 225 side may be used for drawing straight lines where the curvilinear sides 221,223 may be used as guides for drawing curved lines. In one embodiment, the cosmetic applicator tool 110 comprises curvilinear sides 221,223 that have different curvature angles. That is, a first curvilinear side 221 may provide a higher curvature angel than a second curvilinear side 223, while both provide guides for tracing or drawings curved lines, one provides a more angular curve effectively allowing a user to select from the different options which fit the variety of facial contours.
