However, in other aspects, the height Hl of the tube cavity 210 can vary, and in some aspects, the tube cavity 210 can extend into the ferrule channel 340.
- cosmetics can be inserted into the tube cavity 210 through the channel opening 152 of the applicator channel 150 and through the tube opening 212 of the applicator tube 200.
- the cylindrical sidewall 211 of the applicator tube 200 can aid in preventing spillage of the cosmetics out of the tube cavity 210, and in some aspects, the volume of the tube cavity 210 can generally indicate an ideal amount of cosmetics to be applied to the cosmetics brush 100.
- one or more through-holes 320 can be formed through the cylindrical sidewall 211 of the applicator tube 200, as shown.
- four through-holes 320a,b,c,d can be formed through the cylindrical sidewall 211.
- more or fewer through-holes 320 can be formed in the cylindrical sidewall 211.
- Example aspects of the through-holes 320 can be spaced evenly and circumferentially about the sidewall 211, as shown; however, in other aspects, the through-holes 320 can be oriented in any other suitable arrangement.
- the through-holes 320 can define a substantially circular cross section, although other aspects of the through-holes 320 can define any other suitable cross- sectional shape.
- the through-holes 320 can allow the cosmetics received within the tube cavity 210 to be slowly dispelled therethrough and into the cosmetics applicator 122 (e g., the brush fibers 124). Slowly dispelling the cosmetics on to the cosmetics applicator 122 can allow for a more even distribution of the cosmetics across the user’s skin.
- the cosmetics can also be dispelled through the tube opening 212 in some aspects when the cosmetics brush 100 is oriented such that the cosmetics within the tube cavity 210 can flow towards the tube opening 212.
- the through-holes 320 can be formed through the sidewall 211 proximate to a bottom end 321 of the tube cavity 210, for example, proximate to the bottom cavity wall 316; however, in other aspects, the through-holes 320 can be positioned in any suitable arrangement about the sidewall 211.
- each of the applicator tubes 200 can be substantially the same in size and shape or can vary in size and shape.
- a first one of the applicator tubes 200 can define a substantially circular cross-sectional shape and a second one of the applicator tubes 200 can define a substantially triangular cross-sectional shape.
- the tube cavities 210 may also vary in shape and volume.
- the tube cavities 210 can extend into the applicator tube 200 varying distances from the corresponding tube openings 212 to define tube cavities 210 of varying volumes.
- the size and shape of applicator tubes 200 and/or the size and shape of the tube cavities 210 can be selected based on the types and/or amounts of cosmetics intended for use with the cosmetics brush 100.
- a first one of the tube cavities 210 can define a first volume and can be intended to receive a serum
- a second one of the tube cavities 210 can define a second volume and can be intended to receive a moisturizer, wherein the second volume can be greater than the first volume.
- Applying cosmetics directly to the brush head 120 of the cosmetics brush 100 can be beneficial, as it can eliminate the need for a user to manually apply cosmetics to the skin. Applying cosmetics to the skin manually can result in the transfer of bacteria from a user’s hands to the skin. Manually applying cosmetics to the skin can also cause stretching of the skin and/or can damage delicate skin areas, such as under the eyes. Moreover, users typically must take time to wash their hands after manually applying the cosmetics to remove the cosmetics from the hands and to prevent the cosmetics from being transferred to other objects, such as clothing.
- a benefit of providing the applicator tube 200 for receiving cosmetics therein is that the applicator tube 200 can aid in locating and retaining the cosmetics proximate to the application end 130 of the cosmetics brush 100. If cosmetics are not retained proximate the application end 130, they may spread away from the application end 130 towards the ferrule 112 and be inaccessible during application. According to example aspects, applying cosmetics directly to the tube cavity 210 of the applicator tube 200 can provide the additional advantage of indicating an ideal amount of cosmetics to be applied to the cosmetics brush 100.
- Providing through-holes 320 in the tube cavity 210 can provide the benefit of allowing the cosmetics to be dispelled into the cosmetics applicator 122 slowly, so that the cosmetics can be evenly distributed across a user’s skin.
- the user can apply multiple types of cosmetics (e.g., liquid foundation, primer, moisturizer, serum, sunscreen, etc.) at once, which can facilitate improved application and blending of the cosmetics with the skin. Blending and applying multiple cosmetics at once can reduce the application time and can improve the level of blending achieved, as opposed to applying each different type of cosmetics to the skin separately and/or manually.
- a method for using the cosmetics brush head 120 can comprise the steps of providing the cosmetics applicator 122 and the applicator tube 200 nested within the cosmetics applicator 122, wherein the applicator tube 200 defines the tube cavity 210 and the tube opening 212, applying a cosmetic within the tube cavity 210 through the tube opening 212, and engaging the application end 130 of the cosmetics applicator 122 with a user’s skin to apply the cosmetic to the skin.
- the cosmetics applicator 122 can comprise the plurality of brush fibers 124, while in other aspects, the cosmetics applicator 122 can comprise the sponge 524 (shown in Figure 5), gel silicone, or another suitable material.
- Example aspects of the method can further comprise dispelling the cosmetic through an opening of the applicator tube 200 (e.g., the through-holes 320 and/or the tube opening 212). Some aspects of the method can further comprise providing a brush body 110 and manually gripping the brush body 110 to facilitate applying the cosmetics to the user’s skin.
- the cosmetics brush 100 can further comprise a second applicator tube 200 nested within the cosmetics applicator 122, and the method can further comprise applying a second cosmetic within the tube cavity 210 through a corresponding second tube opening 212 of the second applicator tube 200.
- the method can comprise dispelling the second cosmetic from the second applicator tube and the cosmetic from the applicator tube simultaneously through an opening, such as the through-holes 320 and/or the tube opening 212.
- the method can further comprise engaging the application end 130 of the cosmetics applicator 122 with the user’s skin to blend and apply the cosmetic and the second cosmetic to the skin simultaneously.
- aspects of the cosmetics brush 100 further comprising additional applicator tubes 200 can comprise additional steps associated with applying cosmetics within the corresponding additional tube cavities 210 and applying the all of the cosmetics to the user’s skin simultaneously.
- Figure 4 illustrates a cross-sectional view of the cosmetics brush 100 taken along line 4-4 in Figure 3, wherein each of the four through-holes 320a,b,c,d formed through the sidewall 211 of the applicator tube 200 are visible. As shown, the four through-holes 320a,b,c,d are evenly spaced about the circumference of the sidewall 211. In other aspects, however, there may be more or fewer through-holes 320 and the through-holes can be oriented in any suitable arrangement about the sidewall 211.
- Figure 5 illustrates the cosmetics brush 100 according to another aspect of the present disclosure, wherein the cosmetics applicator 122 comprises a sponge 524 instead of the plurality of bristles 124 (shown in Figure 1).
- the sponge 524 is illustrated as transparent for visibility of applicator tube 200 received within the applicator channel 150.
- the applicator tube 200 can be recessed within the applicator channel 150, such that the tube opening 212 can be spaced from the application end 130.
- the applicator tube 200 may or may not extend into a ferrule channel 340 (shown in Figure 3) of the ferrule 112.
- the application end 130 can define the substantially flat application end 132; however, in other aspects, the application end can define any other suitable profile, including, for example, concave or convex.
- the applicator tube 200 can define six through-holes 320, only three of which are visible. The six through-holes 320 can be evenly spaced about the circumference of the applicator tube 200, but in other aspects can be oriented in any other suitable arrangement. In some cases, an increased amount of through-holes 320 can allow for quicker and/or more uniform dispelling of the cosmetics through the through-holes 320 and into the cosmetics applicator 122.
