Definitions

  • This disclosure relates to cosmetics brushes. More specifically, this disclosure relates to a cosmetics brush head comprising a nested tube for receiving cosmetics therein.
  • Cosmetics can be applied to the skin, and often are applied to facial skin.
  • Cosmetics brushes commonly comprise a handle and a brush head and can be used in the application of cosmetics.
  • a typical brush head can comprise a plurality of brush fibers attached to a ferrule.
  • cosmetics are manually applied to the skin and the brush head is rubbed against the skin to spread and blend the cosmetics into the skin.
  • Applying cosmetics manually to the skin can result in the transfer of bacteria from a user's hands to the skin.
  • Manually applying cosmetics can also cause the stretching of skin and/or can damage delicate skin areas, such as the skin below the eyes. Additionally, applying multiple cosmetics to the skin in series can be time-consuming and can result in inadequate blending of the multiple cosmetics.
  • Cosmetics can also be applied directly to the brush head.
  • an undesirably large amount of the cosmetics can be deposited on the skin at the point of initial contact with the brush head, and it can be difficult to evenly distribute the cosmetics across the skin.
  • cosmetics brush head comprising a cosmetics applicator; and an applicator tube nested within the cosmetics applicator, the applicator tube defining a tube cavity configured to receive cosmetics therein.
  • a cosmetics brush comprising a brush body; and a brush head coupled to the brush body, the brush head comprising at least one applicator tube nested within a cosmetics applicator, wherein the applicator tube defines a tube cavity configured to receive cosmetics therein.
  • Also disclosed is a method for using a cosmetics brush comprising providing the cosmetics applicator and an applicator tube nested within the cosmetics applicator, wherein the applicator tube defines a tube cavity and a tube opening; applying a cosmetic within the tube cavity through the tube opening; and engaging an application end of the cosmetics applicator with a user's skin to apply the first cosmetic to the skin.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cosmetics brush, in accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure.
  • FIG. 2 is a top view of the cosmetics brush of FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional side view of the cosmetics brush of FIG. 1 taken along line 3 - 3 in FIG. 2 .
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional top view of the cosmetics brush of FIG. 1 taken along line 4 - 4 in FIG. 3 .
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the cosmetics brush according to another aspect of the present disclosure.
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of an applicator tube of the cosmetics brush of FIG. 5 .
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the cosmetics brush according to another aspect of the invention.

  • Ranges can be expressed herein as from “about” one particular value, and/or to “about” another particular value. When such a range is expressed, another aspect includes from the one particular value and/or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent “about,” it will be understood that the particular value forms another aspect. It will be further understood that the endpoints of each of the ranges are significant both in relation to the other endpoint, and independently of the other endpoint.
  • a material property or dimension measuring about X or substantially X on a particular measurement scale measures within a range between X plus an industry-standard upper tolerance for the specified measurement and X minus an industry-standard lower tolerance for the specified measurement. Because tolerances can vary between different materials, processes and between different models, the tolerance for a particular measurement of a particular component can fall within a range of tolerances.
  • the terms “optional” or “optionally” mean that the subsequently described event or circumstance can or cannot occur, and that the description includes instances where said event or circumstance occurs and instances where it does not.

  • 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 FIG. 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 .
