Abstract
A makeup shield patch of material is curved at the top to fit under the eye. The front of the patch has a textured surface to catch falling eye makeup. The back of the patch has a weak adhesive which is gentle to the skin. Peel-off strips over the back adhesive surface are scored so that a narrow top peel-off strip or two end peel off strips are peeled off and the upper attaching portion adhered to the skin under the eye. The bottom part of the peel-off strip is left in place so the shield does not stick to or disturb any makeup on the cheek. A plurality of makeup shields are die-cut from a sheet of tape with a weak skin sensitive adhesive covered by scored peel off strips.
Claims20
An at least substantially planar eye makeup shield including a bend line separating an upper attaching portion from a lower cheek-shielding portion,
- a) the upper attaching portion having:
- 1) a concave upper edge configured to fit under an eye of a user;
- and
- 2) an upper back surface defined between the upper edge and the bend line, the upper back surface having adhesive thereon;
- b) wherein:
- 1) the bend line is concave in the same direction as the concave upper edge;
- and
- 2) when the upper attaching portion is pressed against the user, the lower cheek-shielding portion bends at the bend line and lifts away from the user.
An at least substantially planar eye makeup shield including a concave bend line separating an upper attaching portion from a lower cheek-shielding portion,
- a) the upper attaching portion having an upper back surface having an adhesive thereon, the upper attaching portion defined between an upper edge and the bend line, and
- b) the lower cheek-shielding portion having a front textured surface opposing the upper back surface;
- c) wherein the makeup shield is configured such that when the upper attaching portion is pressed against the user, the lower cheek-shielding portion bends at the concave bend line and protrudes outwardly away from the user to form a ledge for catching falling makeup.
An at least substantially planar eye makeup shield including an upper attaching portion extending from a lower cheek-shielding portion, wherein:
- a) the upper attaching portion has:
- 1) a concave upper edge and a bend line;
- 2) an upper back surface having an adhesive thereon, the upper back surface defined between the upper edge and the bend line;
- and
- 3) an upper peel-off strip removably affixed to the upper back surface, the upper peel-off strip being divided into two or more segments, each of the segments being separately detachable from the upper back adhesive surface;
- and
- b) the bend line is configured such that when the upper attaching portion is pressed underneath an eye of a user,
- 1) the makeup shield bends at the bend line, and
- 2) the lower cheek-shielding portion is lifted to extend out of the plane of the makeup shield and away from the user.
An at least substantially planar eye makeup shield including an upper attaching portion and a lower cheek-shielding portion on opposing sides of a concave bend line, wherein:
- a) the upper attaching portion has a concave upper edge configured to complementarily fit under an eye of a user with the lower cheek-shielding portion extending down to cover at least a portion of a cheek of the user;
- b) the lower cheek-shielding portion has a front textured surface configured to receive and hold makeup fallen thereon;
- and
- c) the concave bend line is configured to allow the lower cheek-shielding portion to bend with respect to the upper attaching portion, whereby when the upper attaching portion is pressed under the eye of the user, the lower cheek-shielding portion lifts upwardly away from the cheek of the user to form a ledge on which makeup can fall.
