Abstract
An eye make-up device which includes a group of natural or artificial hair filaments connected together and adapted to be applied to the eyelid of a wearer in a position of extension along the edge of the lid to serve as an eyeliner. This group of filaments is preferably attached to a series of eyelashes, which project from the group of filaments to form a composite eyeliner and eyelash unit.
Claims14
An eye make-up device comprising:
- an elongated eyelash carrier;
- a series of artificial eyelashes forming loops extending about said carrier at different locations along its length and projecting generally transversely therefrom;
- a bundle of natural hair or artificial hair-simulating filaments extending generally parallel to and near said eyelash carrier at the outside of said loops formed by said eyelashes;
- and
- means connecting said carrier and said bundle filaments together for handling as a unit and for attachment as a unit to the eyelid of a user in a position of extension longitudinally along the edge of the eyelid, with said bundle of filaments being exposed to view and being wide enough to serve as a readily visible eyeliner accentuating the appearance of the eyelashes.

- a series of artificial eyelashes forming loops extending about said carrier at different locations along its length and projecting generally transversely therefrom;
- a bundle of natural hair or artificial hair-simulating filaments extending generally parallel to and near said eyelash carrier at the outside of said loops formed by said eyelashes;
- and
- means connecting said carrier and said bundle of filaments together for handling as a unit and for attachment as a unit to the eyelid of a user in a position of extension longitudinally along the edge of the eyelid, with said bundle of filaments being exposed to view and being wide enough to serve as a readily visible eyeliner accentuating the appearance of the eyelashes;
- said connecting means including two elements looped about and securing together said carrier and said bundle of filaments near opposite ends thereof, and a third element extending about and securing together said carrier and at least one but not all of said filaments of said bundle at a location intermediate said two first mentioned elements.

- said bundle of filaments having portions which project beyond the eyelashes and which are feathered so that different ones of the filaments have different lengths to progressively reduce the size of the bundle as it approaches its extremity.

An eye make-up device comprising:
- a bundle of natural hair or artificial hair-simulating filaments extending essentially parallel to one another and in close proximity and adapted and dimensioned to be attached to the eyelid of a user in a position of curving extension as a bundle longitudinally along the edge of the eyelid;
- and
- means connecting said filaments together for handling and application to the eyelid as a unit;
- said connecting means and the remainder of said device being constructed to leave said bundle of filaments exposed to view along the entire or almost the entire length of the bundle and eyelid, and to leave individual filaments of the bundle exposed to view continuously and without interruption along extended distances many times as great as the diameter of the individual filaments;
- said bundle of filaments being wide enough to function effectively as a readily visible eyeliner defining said edge of the eyelid.

- and
- means connecting said filaments together for handling and application to the eyelid as a unit;
- said bundle of filaments having an end at which the individual filaments thereof terminate at different locations in feathered relation so that said end of the bundle gradually reduces in size in approaching its extremity.
