- the mascara is applied to a portion of keratinous surface that one desires to adopt a concave curvature.
- the inventors have found that compositions of the present invention are useful for self-curling.
- the mascara is applied to the top surface of the upper eyelash and allowed to dry. By applying only to the top surface of the lashes, the lash will curl upwards upon drying.
- the mascara composition has improved cosmetic properties such as, for example, increased volume properties, increased self-curling properties, increased self-curl retention properties, increased length properties, and the like.
- Mascara compositions of the present invention may be made by mixing at least one vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer in water until dissolution.
- the vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer and other water-soluble ingredients may be mixed by stirring, shaking, grounding, or beating, optionally with a stirrer, a magnetic stirrer, a shaker, a homogenizer, or any other methods suitably used to mix cosmetic composition.
- the mixing may be carried out with or without heating or cooling the ingredients. Particulates and other ingredients that are to be dispersed are then added with mixing to form a homogeneous mixture.
- One embodiment of the present invention provides a method of improving curl of keratinous materials.
- the mascara composition described above such as a primer mascara composition (upon which another mascara composition can be applied) or a mascara composition (without a primer) is applied onto the keratinous materials.
- the mascara composition described above is applied onto the keratinous materials.
- the keratinous materials are preferably keratin fibers, in particular eyelashes and eyebrows, but especially eyelashes.
- the mascara composition is applied onto the keratinous materials in an amount sufficient to improve the curl of the keratinous materials.
- the mascara composition may be applied onto the keratin fibers in an amount sufficient to increase the curl, and also a volume and/or length of the keratin fibers.
- the mascara is applied to a portion of keratinous surface that one desires to adopt a concave curvature, such as the top surface of the upper eyelash and allowed to dry. Accordingly, the mascara compositions may be brushed or applied onto the eyelashes with attentiveness to apply it predominantly on the top surface of the top eyelashes rather than the bottom surface of the top eyelashes.
- the way by which the mascara composition is applied onto the keratinous materials is not limited.
- the mascara composition is applied onto keratin fibers by a brush, a wand, or a comb.
- compositions may be applied to eyelashes as needed, preferably once or twice daily, more preferably once daily and then preferably allowed to dry before subjecting to contact such as with clothing or other objects.
- mascara compositions of the present invention have improved self-curling and also may be reduced in ‘complexity.’
- no wax or oils are used and in certain other embodiments one polymer (the vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer) is used.
- Particularly preferred emboidments include:
- a mascara composition comprising: a vehicle comprising water; and a film-forming polymer portion having one or more film-forming polymers stabilized in the vehicle, wherein the film-forming polymer portion comprises: a primary film-forming polymer that is a high molecular weight vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer, and one or more additional film-forming polymers selected from the group consisting of secondary film-forming polymers each having one or more repeat units, wherein at least one of the one or more repeat units of each of the one or more secondary film-forming polymers comprises functionality selected from imide, acid anhydride, and combinations thereof, acrylic polymers having a glass transition temperature of about 65°C or more, and mixtures thereof; wherein the mascara composition is substantially free of wax and wherein the mascara composition comprises at least about 10 percent by weight of the vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer;

- the mascara composition of any preceding embodiment, wherein the one or more secondary film forming polymers comprises a terpolymer produced by reacting a maleic anhydride with one or more amines and a copolymer of a vinyl ether and one or more of maleic anhydride and maleic acid;
- the mascara composition of the first embodiment, wherein the additional film-forming polymer is an acrylic polymer having a glass transition temperature of 65°C comprises one or more monomers selected from a group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylamide, methacrylamide, alkyl acrylates, alkyl methacrylates, and styrene;
- the mascara composition of the previous embodiment, wherein the acrylic polymer having a glass transition temperature of 65°C consists of one or more monomers selected from a group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, alkyl acrylates, and alkyl methacrylates;
- the mascara composition of any preceding embodiment wherein the high molecular weight vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer has a weight average molecular weight of 200,000 daltons or more; [0096] The mascara composition of any preceding embodiment, wherein the high molecular weight vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer has a weight average molecular weight of 350,000 daltons or more;
- the mascara composition of any preceding embodiment wherein the mascara composition comprises at least about 15 percent by weight of the vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer;
- the mascara composition of any preceding embodiment wherein the mascara composition comprises from about 15 percent by weight to about 50% by weight of the vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer;
- a method of applying makeup to the eyelashes comprising applying to a top surface of eyelashes the mascara composition of any preceding embodiment.
- Example A Mascara Compositions (secondary film-forming agents comprise imide and/or acid anhydride functionality)
- Mascara compositions of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were prepared by dissolving 30% by weight of PVP K-90 (vinylpyrrolidone homoplymer) in water and adding sufficient amount of one or compositions including secondary film-forming polymers product to provide the concentration of indicated secondary film-forming polymer composition noted in Table 1 below.
- PVP K-90 vinylpyrrolidone homoplymer
- 3PVPA/A S-630 Copolymer available from Ashland Inc of Kovington, KY
- Example B Mascara Compositions (secondary film-forming aqent(s) is/are acrylic polvmer(s) having a glass transition temperature of about 65°C or more)
- Mascara compositions of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were prepared by dissolving 20% by weight of PVP K-90 (vinylpyrrolidone homoplymer) in water and/or adding 20% by weight of one or various acrylic polymers, as indicated in Table 2 below. These percentages are on an actives basis.
