a slot configured to receive a spine member of a false eyelash; and an aperture defined by the body configured to fluidly connect the recess to the slot; wherein the adhesive supply extends from the aperture into the slot so that as a false eyelash including a spine member and at least one eyelash member extending from the spine member is moved along the slot, the adhesive applicator applies adhesive from the adhesive supply to the supply member. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An adhesive applicator comprising: a body defining a recess configured to receive an outlet of an adhesive supply; a slot configured to receive a spine member of a false eyelash; and an aperture defined by the body configured to fluidly connect the recess to the slot; wherein the adhesive supply extends from the aperture into the slot so that as a false eyelash including a spine member and at least one eyelash member extending from the spine member is moved along the slot, the adhesive applicator applies adhesive from the adhesive supply to the supply member. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The adhesive applicator of claim 1, wherein the body is configured to receive any adhesive supply. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The adhesive applicator of claim 1, wherein the slot has a depth from a distal end of the slot to a first slot wall that is substantially similar to the length of the spine member so that when the spine member is inserted into the slot the spine member contacts the first slot wall of the slot and the spine member is aligned with the aperture so that the adhesive is applied to a predetermined adhesive location on the spine member. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The adhesive applicator of claim 3, wherein the first slot wall and slot are located between a second slot wall and a third slot wall. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The adhesive applicator of claim 1, wherein the slot is formed by a first slot wall, a second slot wall, and a third slot wall where the second slot wall and the third slot wall are spaced apart by the first slot wall so that the slot extends between the second slot wall and the third slot wall. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The adhesive applicator of claim 5, wherein the second slot wall has a first edge, a second edge, and a top portion with the top portion being an apex and the second slot wall curving away from the apex towards the first edge and the second edge respectively. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The adhesive applicator of claim 6, wherein the apex is a flat planar surface that has a first side and a second side that are an arcuate curvature from the flat planar surface to the first edge and the second edge respectively. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The adhesive applicator of claim 7, wherein the outlet is located within the flat planar surface. ### Claim 9 (depends on 5) The adhesive applicator of claim 5, wherein the third slot wall extends cantilever from the first slot wall. ### Claim 10 (depends on 5) The adhesive applicator of claim 5, wherein the second slot wall includes a distal end forming a flat surface and the body portion includes a lip that extends outward beyond the distal end. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The adhesive applicator of claim 1, further comprising a lid. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The adhesive applicator of claim 11, wherein the lid includes a first lid portion that fits within the slot. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The adhesive applicator of claim 12, wherein the lid includes a second lid portion that extends outward from the first lid portion so that a user can grip the second lid portion to remove the first lid portion from the slot. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The adhesive applicator of claim 12, wherein the first lid portion closes the aperture and cleans any excess glue from a first slot wall, a second slot wall, a third slot wall, or a combination thereof. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The adhesive applicator of claim 1, wherein the body includes a first portion and a second portion with the first portion including the recess and the second portion including the slot. ### Claim 16 A method comprising: inserting an adhesive source into a recess within a body portion of an adhesive applicator; inserting a portion of spine member of a false eyelash into a slot within the body portion; generating a bead of adhesive from the adhesive source; moving the spine member so that adhesive is applied to the spine member. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, further comprising aligning the spine member within the slot by moving the spine member into contact with a first slot wall of the slot. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, further comprising removing the spine member from the slot. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, further comprising placing a lid into the slot to close the aperture. ### Claim 20 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, further comprising cleaning the slot with a first lid portion of a lid so that any excess adhesive is removed from the slot.
