Abstract
The invention provides for a makeup brush for facilitating the application of eyeliner to the upper lashline of the eyes. The brush comprises a tuft of bristles configured in a curved pattern to conform to the contour of the eyelid. The overall width of the brush head, in combination with the curvature of the tuft, provide a brush which facilitates the accurate and natural-looking application of eyeliner. Specifically, the curved design of the bristles of the brush are such that eyeliner may be applied between the lashes of the lashline, rather than merely above or below the lashline.
