  • 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.
