- The objects, features and advantages of the present invention will he apparent from the following detailed descriptions of the various aspects of the invention in conjunction with reference to the following drawings, where:
-
FIG. 1 is an illustration of a typical eyelash strip that includes an elongated strip having a plurality of eyelashes extending therefrom; -
FIG. 2 is an illustration of a closed eye; -
FIG. 3 is an illustration depicting a method of the prior art for applying an eyelash strip to a user's closed eye; and -
FIG. 4 is an illustration depicting a method for applying an eyelash extensions according to various embodiments of the present invention. - The present invention relates to eyelash extensions and, more particularly, to a method for applying eyelash extensions via double application of eyelash strips. The following description is presented to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention and to incorporate it in the context of particular applications. Various modifications, as well as a variety of uses in different applications will he readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be applied to a wide range of embodiments. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments presented, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
- In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without necessarily being limited to these specific details, in other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form, rather than in detail, in order to avoid obscuring the present invention.

- The present invention relates to eyelash extensions and, more particularly, to a method for applying eyelash extensions via double application of eyelash strips. For example, an eyelash strip typically includes an elongated strip base (such as a tape or glue strip) with a plurality of individual or branched lashes extending therefrom. An example of such a
typical eyelash strip 100 is illustrated inFIG. 1 . The traditional process for applying such aneyelash strip 100 is to glue, tape, or otherwise adhere thestrip base 103 to the top of the users existing eyelashes 102 (e.g., top eyelashes) or against the user'supper eyelid 104, as shown betweenFIGS. 2 and 3 . - The present invention improves upon the method of the prior art by providing a method in which at least two eyelash strips are applied to a single eye.

eyelash strip 400 is first affixed below the user'snatural eyelashes 102 by having the user open their eyes to expose a bottom side of the user'snatural lashes 102. Thefirst eyelash strip 400 is then affixed (using glue, adhesive tape, etc.) below the user's natural lashes 102 (such as being stuck with an adhesive strip to the bottom side of the natural lashes 102). The user then closes their eye, allowing the technician to then apply thesecond eyelash strip 402 on top of the user'snatural lashes 102. - It should also be noted that the
eyelash strip 400 and/or 402 can be adhered directly to the top of the user'snatural lashes 102 or against the user's eyelid 104 (above the lashes) or any other desired location. Theeyelash strip 400 and/or 402 is adhered to thenatural lashes 102 or user'seyelid 104 using an adhesive, tape, or any other method. (e.g., such as using the adhesive tape on a common eyelash strip). Further, theeyelash strip 400 and/or 402 can be a complete eyelash strip or a strip of any size. Additionally, theeyelash strip 400 and/or 402 can have a single lash, a bundle or lashes, or any number of lashes. - It should also be noted that the
eyelash strip 400 and/or 402 is any type of eyelash strip, non-limiting examples of which include an eyelash strip with threads at the root, eyelash strip with knots at the root, or strips without threads at the root, or any other kind of eyelash strip.
