Abstract
An eye makeup stencil to serve as a guide for lining the top and bottom of the eye, and including a thin, flexible body with a first side, a second side, and an outer circumference. The first and second sides have a plurality of eye makeup shapes on the outer circumference, which may be used as guides during the application of eye makeup. The eye makeup shapes are designed for use with any size eye.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to makeup application devices. More specifically, the invention is an eye makeup stencil to serve as a guide while lining the top and bottom of the eye.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Numerous inventions have been devised to aid in the application of eye makeup. Some of the more significant advances in the art have centered around the development of devices that serve as a guide during the application of eye makeup.
- The related art describes devices that either serve as a guide for use during the application of eye makeup or a devise to apply the eye makeup. However, these devices limit the application to one pre-defined shape.
- For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,186,190, issued to Hirzel, describes an eyebrow stencil kit that includes two stencils, one for each eye. Each stencil contains multiple eyebrow cutouts and one eye-liner shadow guide on the lower edge. When the stencils are positioned over the eyebrow, the lower edge of the device may be used as a guide for applying eye makeup. While this device has a guide for applying eye makeup, each pair of stencils contains only one shape for the eye makeup. To change shape of the eye makeup guide the eyebrow stencil kit must be disassembled and reassembled with another set of stencils. Further, this device does not provide a guide for applying eye makeup below the eye.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,957,142, issued to Karafilis, shows an apparatus for helping with the application of makeup. The device includes an applicator mask. In use, the applicator mask is positioned along an individual's eyelid to help in the application of mascara, eye makeup, or eyeshadow. While this device can be used to apply eye makeup to the top and bottom of the eye, it has only one design, thereby limiting the user to one eye makeup shape.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,105,585, issued to Thomas, shows a combination eyelash curler and eye makeup applicator. This device includes replaceable eye makeup cartridges for applying eye makeup in a pre-determined design. This device limits the application of eye makeup to one design and does not provide a means for applying eye makeup below the eye.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,305,389, issued to Bakken, shows a mascara application card. This device is used to prevent the smearing of mascara when it is being applied to the eyelashes. While this device is for use above and below the eye, the intended use is for the application of mascara and not for the application of eye makeup. Further, even if it were used for eye makeup, the device has only one design, thereby limiting the user to one eye makeup shape.
- None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant invention as claimed.
- The present invention provides an eye makeup stencil to serve as a guide while lining the top and bottom of the eye, as desired. The invention is made of soft, flexible plastic, silicon, or other material that is not irritating to the skin. The thin, flexible material allows the eye makeup stencil to easily conform to the unique shape of an individual's face when held in place.
- The eye makeup stencil has a first and second side, and a outer circumference. The outer circumference includes a plurality of eye makeup shapes to line the eye. The eye makeup stencil may include top and bottom, normal, cat eye, and smoky eye eye makeup shapes, by way of example only. The eye makeup shapes are designed for use with any size eye.
- To use the invention to apply eye makeup above an eye, an individual would position the first side of the eye makeup stencil against an individual's face with the selected eye makeup shape above the lash line. The distance between the eye makeup stencil and the lash line determines the thickness of the eye makeup. While holding the eye makeup stencil in place, the individual can apply eye makeup between the lash line and eye makeup shape using an eye makeup pencil, eye makeup cake, liquid liner, or other type of eye makeup. Then the eye makeup stencil can be rotated, so that the second side of the eye makeup stencil is against the individual's face with the selected eye makeup shape above the lash line and repeat the process. The process can also be repeated to line the bottom of each eye.
- Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to provide a new eye makeup stencil that makes applying eye makeup easier.
- It is another object of the invention to provide an eye makeup stencil with multiple eye makeup shapes.
- It is a further object of the invention to provide an eye makeup stencil that reduces the amount of time to apply eye makeup.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide an eye makeup stencil that enables individuals to apply eye makeup correctly.
- It is an object of the invention to provide improved elements and arrangements thereof in an eye makeup stencil device for the purposes described which is inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
- These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
- FIG. 1 is an environmental, perspective view showing the invention in use.
- FIG. 2 is an perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- Similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the attached drawings.
