Abstract
An applicator for applying a composition such as a cosmetic, a medicinal or a personal care composition. The applicator comprising an applicator head comprising at least two types of bristles distributed along a longitudinal axis of a core in a manner that density of at least one type of bristles decreases gradually from one end to another end of the core to provide a gradual change in color/tone from one end to another end of the core and/or to create multiple bristle zones for enabling multiple performance characteristics like separation/combing, volumising, curling and lengthening of eyelashes to be achieved with the cosmetic applicator.
Claims20
A cosmetic applicator comprising:
- an applicator head;
- wherein the applicator head comprises a twisted wire core with a proximal end and a distal end;
- wherein the twisted wire core carries at least a first bristle type and a second bristle type;
- wherein a bristle density of the first bristle type decreases from the proximal end towards the distal end of the twisted wire core and a bristle density of the second bristle type decreases from the distal end towards the proximal end of the twisted wire core;
- wherein a number of the first bristle type reduces after every successive “n” turn(s) of the twisted wire core from the proximal end towards the distal end of the twisted wire core;
- wherein a number of the second bristle type reduces after every successive “n” turn(s) of the twisted wire core from the distal end towards the proximal end of the twisted wire core;
- and
- wherein the “n” designates number of turns of the twisted wire core and 1≦“n”≦3.
A cosmetic applicator comprising:
- an applicator head and a stem;
- the applicator head is attached to a distal end of the stem;
- wherein the applicator head comprises a core with a proximal end and a distal end;
- wherein the core carries at least a first bristle type and a second bristle type;
- wherein the first bristle type extends throughout a length of the core between the proximal end and the distal end of the core such that a density of the first bristle type remains fixed throughout the length of the core;
- and
- wherein a density of the second bristle type progressively decreases at least up to 60% of the length of the core either from the distal end towards the proximal end or from the proximal end towards the distal end core of the applicator head.
A cosmetic applicator comprising:
- an applicator head;
- wherein the applicator head comprises a core carrying at least a first bristle type and a second bristle type;
- wherein a segment of the core comprising the first bristle type and the second bristle type extends at least 50% of a length of the core;
- and
- wherein a bristle density of the first bristle type decreases from a proximal end towards a distal end of the segment of the core and a bristle density of the second bristle type decreases from the distal end towards the proximal end of the segment of the core.
