Figure I B is a view of a group of cosmetic brashes according to one aspect of the present disclosure, showing eight different brushes as part of the Oval Collection 100. As noted, ail brushes reflect the weight to height ratio of 1 ,4, width to depth ratio of 2.1, and height to depth ratio of 1.5. As may be seen, the Oval Collection 100 (aka oval brush collection) includes an Oval Sweep brush 110 (aka sweep brush), Oval Contour brush 120 (aka contour brush), Oval Slope brush 130 (aka slope brush aka Oval DS brush), Oval Angle brash 140 (aka angle brush), Oval Detail brush 150 (aka detail brash), Oval Accent brush 160 (aka accent brush), Oval Camo brush 170 (aka camo brash), and Oval Precision brush 180 (aka precision brush). For purposes of this application, the terms Oval Sweep, Oval Contour, Oval Slop, Oval Angle, Oval Detail, Oval Accent, Oval Camo, and Oval Precision are trademarks of Anisa International. Although it may be seen that each of these brashes may have its own distinct head shape, all of the brush heads (aka bristle groups) have a transverse cross section which is oval shaped through a majority of their transverse cross section.
Figure 2 shows a group of elements 2 including the Oval Sweep brush 110, Oval Contour brush 120, and Oval DS 130 (aka Oval Slope 130), shown left to right. As may be seen, each of these brushes has its own distinct head shape, with the brush 110 having a relatively "flat" end, the brash 120 having a relatively "rounded" end, and the brush 130 having a relatively "sloped" end. However all three brash heads (aka bristle groups) have a transverse cross section which is oval shaped through a majority of their transverse cross section.

Figures 13A-B, 14A-B, and 15A-B show one application technique provided under one aspect of the present invention, namely an application technique afforded by the brushes which allows for two distinct motions that result in a more precise cosmetic product placement. Figures 13A-B show the first step, namely the pressing of cosmetic product onto the skin with a dabbing motion which places cosmetic product in substantially oval-shaped cosmetic product applications 15, corresponding to the substantially oval-shaped ends of the brashes (see Figure 16). It may be seen that this pressing is done such that the minor axis of the oval-shaped product applications 15 are substantially parallel. Figures 14A- B show the second step, namely the horizontal sweeping, which paints the skin. It may be seen that this sweeping is along the minor axis of the oval-shaped product applications 15, and along the minor axis of the oval-shaped brush ends. Figures 15A-B show the first and second steps on the forehead.
Figures 16 and 17 show the oval shape of the exemplary oval brush
1000 used in Figures J.3A-B, 14A-B, and 15A-B, as the brush is looked at along and from its working end. This brush has a bristle group having an oval-shaped transverse cross section. Figure 16 shows the brash without markups; Figure 16 shows the brush with markups. As is understood in geometry, an ellipse is an oval, but an oval may or may not be an ellipse. These brushes are being referenced as being oval, but are not necessarily ellipses. It may thus be understood that the terms "minor axis" and "major axis" are being borrowed from elliptical geometry, in that the major and minor axes of an ellipse are diameters (lines through the center) of the ellipse; the major axis is the longest diameter and the minor axis the shortest diameter. In the instance of this application, the "minor axis" of the oval peripheral shape of the brushes may be understood as the axis corresponding to the shortest diameter axis of the oval shape, as shown in Figure 17. Similarly, the "major axis" of the oval peripheral shape of the brushes may be understood as the axis corresponding to the longest diameter axis of the oval shape, as shown in Figure 17. As described elsewhere in this application, the direction of the brush movements and strokes in one application technique provided under one aspect of the present disclosure is related to the "major and minor axes" of the oval shaped brashes.

Exemplar' Brush (see Figs 16-17
There are a plurality of oval-shaped brashes are described herein including particular dimensional characteristics. As described in further detail, such brushes reflect a width/height ratio of 1.4, width/ depth ratio of 2.1, and height/depth ratio of 1.5. As described in detail later, the brushes include a "bristle group" (aka brush head) include an oval shaped cross section, as said cross section is taken along a plane including its depth axis and its width axis. Said another way, the brash heads have a transverse cross section which is oval shaped through a majority of their transverse cross section.
These brashes allow for a particular method of use. The term "oval- shaped" is intended to describe a general oval shape of the transverse cross-section of the bristle groups throughout a significant part of the length of the brush head. An oval-shaped brush head would paint a different width of brush stroke depending upon the orientation of the brush relative to the stroke direction. If the brush was being stroked along the "minor axis" of the oval shape (such as substantially shown in Figures 14A-B), the brush stroke would be relatively larger than if the brush was turned 90 degrees about its longitudinal axis and stroked along the "major axis" of the oval shape. The description of such major and minor axes is also discussed elsewhere in this application.
Examples of the Ratio Relationships
Here follow some examples of some brushes which follow the particular dimensional relationship between the width, height, and depth of the brushes which has been found by the inventor to work well with the method used therewith. All such brushes reflect a width/height ratio of 1.4, width/ depth ratio of 2.1, and height/depth ratio of 1.5. Under one measurement technique, the width, height, and depths of the brushes are the maximum measurable width, height, and depths (which means that the height of a tapered brush would not be necessarily measured at its axial center, but where the longest bristles of the bristle group were).

Measurement of Width, Height, and Depth Dimensions
Figures 6B and 6C are now referenced in order to describe one method of measuring width, height, and depth dimensions in which said three dimensions follow a width/height ratio of 1.4, width/ depth ratio of 2.1, and height/depth ratio of 1.5. Under this measurement technique, the width, height, and depth dimensions of the brushes are the maximum measurable width, height, and depths (which means that the height of a tapered brush would not be necessarily measured at its axial center, but where the longest bristles were). Said another way, the width dimension will be measured at its widest point, the height dimension of a brush will be measured at its highest point, and the depth dimension of a brush will be measured at its "deepest" point. Each dimension is mutually perpendicular to each of the other two.
The height dimension is measured along a height axis being measured substantially parallel to the length of said bristle elements, as shown in Figures 6B and 6C as along the "H Axis". This dimension will be less than the width dimension and greater than the depth dimension . The width dimension i s measured along a width axis being substantially perpendicular to said height axis, as shown in Figure 6B as along the " // Axis ' . This dimension will be greater than the height dimension and greater than the depth dimension.
The depth dimension is measured along a depth axis being substantially perpendicular to said height axis and substantially perpendicular to said width axis, as shown in Figure 6C as along the "D Axis". This dimension will be less than the height dimension and less than the depth dimension.
Brushes shown in Figures 2-4
Figure IB shows brushes 110, 120, 130, 140, ISO, 160, 170, and
180 which include dimensions which follow a width/height ratio of 1.4, width/ depth ratio of 2.1, and height/depth ratio of 1 .5. These brushes include a bristle group having an oval shaped cross section as said cross section is taken along a plane including its depth axis and its width axis,
Brushes shown in Figures 2-4
Figures 2-4 include additional brushes which include dimensions which follow a width/height ratio of 1 .4, width/ depth ratio of 2.1 , and height/depth ratio of 1.5.
These brushes include a bristle group having an oval shaped cross section as said cross section is taken along a plane including its depth axis and its width axis.
Brushes shown in Figures 5-12
Figures 5-12 include additional brushes which include dimensions which follow a width/height ratio of 1.4, width/ depth ratio of 2.1, and height/depth ratio of 1 .5 ,
These brushes include a bristle group having an oval shaped cross section as said cross section i s taken along a plane including its depth axis and its width axis.
The Method of Use Shown in Figures 13A-B, 14A-B, and 15A-B
Each brush is designed with a different shape which facilitates the unique painting of the skin. The oval head cross section, paired with the unique individual shapes, sweeps cosmetic product onto the skin in a seamless manner. A user can press cosmetic product into the skin, and use a horizontal sweeping motion to apply along the face. Pressing places cosmetic product and the horizontal sweeping motion paints the skin.
Figures 13A-B, 14A-B, and 15A-B show one application technique provided under at least one aspect of the present inventions, namely an application technique afforded by the bmshes which allows for two distinct motions that result in a more precise cosmetic product placement. This unique "press and paint" application technique - allows the end consumer to use their face as their canvas.
Figures 13 A-B show the first step, namely the pressing of cosmetic product onto the skin with a dabbing motion which places cosmetic product in substantially oval-shaped cosmetic product applications 15, corresponding to the substantially oval-shaped ends of the bmshes (see also Figure 16). It may be seen that this pressing is done such that the "minor axes" of the oval-shaped cosmetic product applications 15 are substantially parallel, as also discussed elsewhere. The two middlemost applications could be said to have their minor axes co-aligned.
Figures 14 A-B show the second step, namely the horizontal sweeping, which paints the skin. One sweep is shown in Figure 14A and three sweeps shown in Figure 14B. It may be seen that this sweeping is substantially parallel to the minor axes of the oval-shaped cosmetic product applications 15, and substantially to the minor axis of the oval-shaped brush end. Figures 5 A-B show the first and second steps on the forehead, with three sweeps being shown in Figure 15 B.
As is understood in geometry, an ellipse is an oval, but an oval may or may not be an ellipse. These bmshes are being referenced as being oval, but are not necessarily ellipses. It may thus be understood that the terms "minor axis" and "major axis" are being borrowed from elliptical geometry, in that the major and minor axes of an ellipse are diameters (lines through the center) of the ellipse; the major axis is the longest diameter and the minor axis the shortest.
In the instance of this application, the "minor axis" of the oval peripheral shape of the bmshes may be understood as the axis corresponding to the shortest diameter axis of the oval shape, as shown in Figure 17. Similarly, the "major axis" of the oval peripheral shape of the brushes may be understood as the axis corresponding to the longest diameter axis of the oval shape, also as shown in Figure 17. As described above, the direction of the brush movements and strokes in one application technique provided under the present invention is related to the "major and minor axes" of the oval shaped brushes.
It should also be understood that as the oval-shaped cosmetic product applications 15 left on the skin (corresponding to the substantially oval- shaped ends of the bmshes) likewise exhibit oval shapes, such that the "major axis" of an oval-shaped application may be understood as the axis corresponding to the longest diameter axis of the oval shape, and the "minor axis" corresponding to the shortest diameter axis of the oval-shaped application.
Any suitable cosmetic product may be used, including liquid or powder.
