Description

  The present invention relates to a makeup brush, for example, an eyebrow brush, a brush for highlighting the eye area, etc. for applying cosmetic products and, more particularly, a makeup brush capable of

  self to draw a sharp line and a gradient.

  As we know, we can quote as makeup brushes an eyebrow comb, a pencil for the eye area, a tapered brush for the application of a product bringing out the eye area, a brush to provide a gradient around eyes, a puff, a lipstick, etc. Makeup brushes are roughly divided into three categories, namely brushes to form a gradient, those making it possible to obtain a clean line, and

  those with a comb for the eyebrows.

  In a professional beauty salon, this multiplicity of brushes poses handling problems when several of them must be used separately and also that

of their cost.

  The present invention has been developed to remedy the previous situation and relates to an inexpensive makeup brush which is capable of easily providing a gradient or of forming a clean line. The makeup brush of the present invention comprises a barrel and a tuft fixed to one end of the barrel, the end of the tuft being in the form of an acute angle in a plan view and the two sides of the tuft having a form giving respective plans intended to be used to provide

a gradient.

  The present invention will be well understood

  during the following description made in connection with

the attached drawings in which

  Figure 1 is a plan view of a brush for tracing the eye area according to a first embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 is a front view of the brush; Figure 3 is a variant of the brush; Figure 4 is a plan view of the makeup brush according to a second embodiment of the present invention; Figure 5 is a perspective view of the brush; and FIG. 6 is a large-scale view of a profile of the planes of the brush used to obtain a gradient. We will now explain the present

  invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

  In Figures 1 and 2, there is shown a brush 1 for tracing the eye contour according to a first embodiment of the invention The brush consists of a barrel 2 of synthetic resin or wood which can be grasped easily, and d '' a bunch 3

  fixed to the upper face of one end of the barrel 2.

  The tuft 3 consists of a number of bristles of the same length, and as shown in Figure 1, in a plan view is in the form of an isosceles triangle The tip 3 a of the brush, making an acute angle in a plan view, can draw a clear line while the lateral parts 3 b, 3 b, narrowing, and the upper face 3 c are arranged so as to provide a gradient in the make-up Parts 3 b, 3 b can naturally

present a regular curve.

  In FIG. 3, a variant of the tuft 3 of the brush 1 is represented. In this variant, the length of the bristles of the tuft 3 progressively decreases towards the tip 3 a of the acute angle so that the upper face 3 it is tilted down to

  the brush can easily draw a clean line.

  Furthermore, the construction and function of this mode

3 2653981

  are the same as in the first mode

of achievement.

  Figures 4, 5 and 6 show a makeup brush 10 according to a second embodiment of the present invention; the brush 10 comprises a barrel 12 and a tuft 13 fixed to a

end of the barrel.

  The tuft 13 consists of a certain number of bristles linked to the base part and fixed to the barrel 12 The end face, as shown in FIG. 4, is practically in the form of a droplet, and the point 13 a has an acute angle in a plan view and can draw a sharp line, while the lateral planes 13 b, 13 b and an arc-shaped face 13 c are arranged so as to provide a gradient

in makeup.

  By separately forming the lateral planes 13 b, 13 b and the arc-shaped face 3 c, it is possible to easily adjust the color tint in such a way that the lateral planes 13 b, 13 b provide a slight degraded by widely extending a given cosmetic product, while the face 13 c provides a

  dark gradient of small extent.

  In the previous embodiments, the present invention has been described in connection with a brush for making up the area around the eyes and a makeup brush which uses bristles; however, the invention is not limited to such constructions and can be applied to makeup brushes, for example to an eyebrow brush whose tuft is made of a synthetic resin, or for

other makeup brushes.

  In addition, the present invention is not limited to the preceding embodiments, and it is obviously possible, for example, to fix the makeup brush of the invention to the two ends of the barrel or to fix the makeup brush of the outline. eyes of the first embodiment at one end of the barrel and the makeup brush of the second embodiment to

the other extremity.

  With the previous construction, the makeup brush of the present invention offers advantages such that it is capable of drawing a clean line and a gradient without any other aid and therefore it makes it possible to carry out makeup in a short period of time and improves the possibility of use; the cost is also reduced because it replaces two brushes

  0 makeup of the prior art.

  The present invention is not imitated in the embodiments which have just been described, it is on the contrary liable to modifications and

  variants which will appear to those skilled in the art.
