Applicator for artificial lash extensions
First Claim
1. A method for attaching artificial lash extensions to the natural lashes of a subject, the method comprising:
- grasping an applicator having opposed first and second arms joined at proximal ends thereof, the first and second arms each defining;
an exterior surface,an interior surfaceand opposing first and second lateral sides disposed between the interior and exterior surfaces, wherein the interior surfaces of the first and second arms face each other and the arms are biased toward an open configuration in which the arms are spaced apart,each of the first and second arms having a handle portion extending from the proximal end outward to a distal end of the handle;
and an applying portion extending outwardly from the distal end of the handle portion,the handle portion defining a first longitudinal axis and a convex arc such that the first lateral side of each arm is convex and the second lateral side of each arms is concave in the handle portion,and the applying portion defines a second longitudinal axis and each provide two crescent shaped portions extending in series from the respective handle portion such that the first lateral sides of each arm provide a pair of concavities facing away from the respective second lateral side and the second lateral side of each arm provides two convexities extending in series opposite the concavities, wherein the longitudinal axis of the applying portions is arranged offset from the longitudinal axis of the handle portion such that the concavities of the first and second arms face the longitudinal axis of the handle portion;
applying pressure to the exterior surfaces of the first and second arms of the applicator to securely grasp a set of lash extensions that includes multiple lash fusions between the interior surfaces of a distal-most one of the two crescent shaped portions, wherein the application of the pressure causes the interior surfaces of the first and second arms at the distal-most one of the two crescent shaped portions to engage one another, thereby grasping the multiple lash fusions simultaneously,arranging the set of lash extensions proximate to a tightline of an eyelid of the subject via the opposing arms;
attaching the set of lash extensions to an underside of the natural lashes of the subject; and
discontinuing to apply pressure to the opposed arms of the applicator.

Abstract
Cases can be used to house sets of artificial lashes in a specified arrangement. For example, lash fusions may be placed within multiple predefined indentations in the shape of an eyelid. Applicators can be used to resiliently grasp all of the lash fusions in a set of lash extensions, and then simultaneously apply the entire set of lash extensions directly to the underside of the natural lashes. An applicator includes opposed arms that are connected to one another at an inner end designed to be gripped by an individual. The applicator can also include an outer end having a concave shape that is contoured to be substantially flush with the convex shape of the lash line and the predefined indentations of a case that includes the set of lash extensions.
