Description

  The present invention relates to a device for packaging and applying an eyeliner.

  It is a known practice to make up the eyelids or eyebrows by drawing a line of an eyeliner with an applicator provided for this purpose.

  Some known eyeliner applicators include a container with a threaded neck to which a closure cap can be secured, which closure cap supports a stem provided with an applicator tip at the end; Applicator tips are generally manufactured by injection molding a thermoplastic material with a flock coating. In order to wipe the stem and reduce the amount of product taken when the applicator is withdrawn, the wiping member is usually placed in the neck.

  FR 2933281 describes an eyeliner applicator comprising a stem and an applicator end piece, the applicator end piece being supported by the stem and capable of being deformed during use, in a selected orientation. This makes it possible to draw two lines with various thicknesses.

  FR 2836031 discloses an eyeliner applicator having at least two tips.

  FR 2793663 discloses various applicators intended to apply a product to the lips, which are used with a container provided with a wiping member. The shape of the applicator member is selected so that a differentiated wipe is obtained with a region of the applicator member overlaid with a larger amount of product.

  Applicator pens with applicator tips made by machining felt are also known.

  There are benefits that can be received by allowing the user to change the thickness of the line drawn on the eyelids or eyebrows.

The present invention aims to meet this need, which is a device for packaging and applying an eyeliner comprising:
-A container containing the eyeliner to be applied;
An applicator tip for applying an eyeliner contained in a container, preferably having two opposing main facets with an elongated profile and a variable width passing through the highest point, the two facets This is achieved by proposing a device comprising an applicator tip that converges in the direction of the distal end of the tape tip.

  According to the present invention, the user can apply a portion of the applicator tip having the desired width to the skin while moving the applicator over the skin, depending on the result to be achieved, depending on the result to be achieved. You can easily change the line width.

  The applicator tip is preferably made of felt, i.e. comprising fibers oriented longitudinally and bonded together. The product can thus diffuse by capillary action within the applicator tip due to its porosity. The applicator tip can be flocked or not flocked.

  These fibers can be fibers made from thermoplastic materials, in particular acrylic polymers, polyesters or polyamides. These fibers may have a linear density of less than 1 denier, preferably 0.5 denier to 0.9 denier, especially 0.7 denier (or about 9 micrometers).

  The fibers can be made from nylon.

  As a variant, the applicator tip is molded from a plastic material.

  It is possible that the applicator tip does not have any perforations, cavities or indentations in the surface used for application.

  Thus, it is possible that the applicator tip does not have any outwardly concave ridges at the ends, or any stripes or grooves. It is also possible for the applicator tip to have only a surface that is convex outward in the area of the applicator part that contacts the skin during the application of the makeup.

  Each of the main facets may have an egg-shaped contour, as well as an egg-shaped contour.

  The main facets may be connected by lateral facets each having a convex shape in cross section. Each of these side facets may have a convex shape in the longitudinal section.

  This convex shape makes it easier to apply to the skin.

  The applicator tip can be symmetric with respect to a first symmetric median plane passing between the two main facets.

  The applicator tip may be symmetric with respect to a second plane of symmetry that traverses the center between the two main facets across their width.

  The symmetrical shape makes it possible to make up the right or left eye in the same manner.

  The main facet may have a radius of curvature in the longitudinal section that is greater than 4 mm, more preferably greater than 10 mm.

  The main facet may be part of a rotating cylinder having a generatrix perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the applicator tip.

  The side facets may have a distal portion that converges toward the distal end of the applicator tip and a proximal portion that converges toward the proximal end of the applicator tip.

  The user may use side facets to apply the eyeliner.

  The side facets may have a variable width that passes through the highest point, which is preferably closer to the proximal end than to the distal end of the applicator. Lateral facets allow the user to easily change the line during application depending on the result to be achieved.

  The maximum width of the side facets is preferably narrower than the maximum width of the main facets. Thus, the user can draw thinner lines using the side facets than using the main facets.

  When one of the main facets is view face-on, the side faces of the side facets are convex. The radius of curvature at the center of the side facets may be less than 20 mm, more preferably less than 15 mm. With such curvature, the user can contact the skin with the desired width of one of the side facets while moving the applicator over the skin.

  The applicator tip may have a cross-sectional narrowing between the applicator portion and the end piece for mounting the applicator tip within the body of the applicator pen or within the stem of the applicator.

  The distal end of the applicator tip is preferably located on the longitudinal axis of the applicator tip, the longitudinal axis being straight.

  A further subject matter of the present invention is a method for making up the eyelids or eyebrows, comprising the step of applying an eyeliner to the skin using an applicator according to the present invention.

  Further features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description of non-limiting and exemplary embodiments and upon examining the accompanying drawings.
