Abstract
The makeup application brush with detachable illuminated mirror is comprised of a cosmetic brush and a lighted mirror integrated into one device. The lighted mirror is attached to a proximal end of the makeup application brush handle with the makeup brush head at a distal end of the makeup application brush handle. The makeup application brush is separated by screwing apart the handle for independent use of the lighted mirror or cosmetic brush. The lighted mirror segment is powered by USB charging. With the provision of visibility and lighting from the lighted mirror, the makeup application brush can be used for makeup application or makeup removal. The makeup application brush is innovative in the beauty industry field by combining two beauty accessories: a lighted mirror and a makeup application brush into one device.
Description
BACKGROUND

The makeup application brush with illuminated mirror is a makeup brush with a lighted mirror attached to a proximal end of a handle of the makeup brush. It can be utilized as a single device with a makeup brush and lighted mirror attached together or separated and used independently. The makeup brush has a first handle section and the lighted mirror has a second handle section, the first and second handle sections can be separated by screwing the first and second handle sections apart. Both components of the makeup application brush with illuminated mirror are products of the beauty industry. In modern art, cosmetic brushes and lighted mirrors exist independently. The makeup application brush with illuminated mirror advances from previous art by fusing and integrating a makeup brush with a lighted mirror. The makeup application brush can be utilized using its lighted mirror for lighting and visibility while simultaneously using makeup brushes for makeup application or removal. The makeup application brush with illuminated mirror has a USB port on its handle for charging. The makeup application brush with illuminated mirror can alleviate the necessity of carrying a lighted mirror and a separate makeup brush in a purse or handbag.


SUMMARY

In brief summary the perfect brush is a cosmetic brush that has a lighted mirror attached to the posterior end of handle. The perfect brush advances in art by combining two beauty accessories into one. By screwing the brush handle apart the handle separates into an independent makeup brush and a lighted mirror. Both, the cosmetic brush and the lighted mirror can be utilized simultaneously or independently for makeup application or removal. The lighted mirror highlights the facial area for makeup application or removal. In current art cosmetic brushes and lighted mirrors exist independently. By combining both beauty accessories the perfect brush becomes compact, accommodating and an efficient beauty accessory. The lighted mirror has usb port for charging.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION


FIGS. 1-10 illustrate two embodiments of a makeup application brush. The makeup application brush is a cosmetic brush comprising a first handle section threadingly engaged to a second handle section. The first handle section comprises a brush head 2, the second handle section comprises a lighted mirror. The threaded engagement thereby allows the makeup application brush to separate into two segments by screwing apart. The second handle section has a lighted mirror 1 comprising a mirror face 7, attached at a proximal end thereof. When separated, the first handle section with brush head 2, functions as a conventional cosmetic brush that is used for touch ups and makeup application. The lighted mirror is attached to a proximal end of the second handle section. The second handle section is made in two embodiments. The first embodiment of the second handle section, as illustrated in FIGS. 1-7, provides the lighted mirror attached stationary to the proximal end of the second handle section. The second embodiment of the second handle section provides the lighted mirror pivotably connected to the proximal end of the second handle section such that the lighted mirror that can swivel to different angles. The makeup application brush, when separated can be utilized as a miniature vanity when applying or removing makeup. The makeup application brush further comprises a USB port 3 for charging the lighted mirror and an activation button 4 on handle. When separated, the second handle section of the makeup application brush has an extended handle that inserts into the cavity of the first handle section for re-assembly. The makeup assembly brush serves as a two in one brush by having a cosmetic brush integrated with a lighted mirror.

Claims
  • 1. A makeup application brush consisting of: an elongated handle having a first handle section and a second handle section, the first and second handle sections each having opposing proximal and distal ends, wherein a longitudinal axis extends between the proximal end of the second handle section and the distal end of the first handle section;the first handle section has a threaded cavity proximal end and the second handle section has a threaded extention portion proximate its distal end and a central portion disposed between the threaded extention portion and a distal portion, the threaded extention portion of the second handle section is threadingly engaged within an interior of the cavity of the first handle section to provide a generally smooth exterior surface of the elongated handle;the first handle section tapers such that the cross-section thereof decreases along the longitudinal axis from the distal end to the proximal end;a brush head disposed at the distal end of the first handle section, the brush head being formed by a single bundle of elongated bristles, wherein the bristles protrude outwardly and extend generally longitudinally from the distal end of the first handle section;the second handle section has a similar cross-sectional area at the threaded extention, and flares outwardly from a proximal end of the central portion toward the proximal end to define a maximum cross-sectional area at the proximal end of the second handle section;a mirror coupled to the proximal end of the second handle section, wherein a reflective surface of the mirror is oriented substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis;a plurality of LEDs positioned about a perimeter of the mirror for illumination;a USB port provided on the second handle section for charging the plurality of LEDs;an activation on the second handle section for activating the plurality of LEDs;wherein during use, the second handle section is unthreaded from the first handle section thereby allowing a user to apply or remove makeup with the cosmetic application brush while viewing an area of makeup application with the mirror, the mirror being illuminated by the LEDs.
  • 2. The makeup application brush of claim 1, wherein the perimeter of the mirror is square or round.
