Abstract

The present invention relates generally to systems, methods, and kits for applying eyelash extensions. In particular, the present invention provides systems, methods, and kits that reduce the amount of time required to apply eyelash extensions.

Claims

1. A method for securing an eyelash extension with a natural eyelash, comprising:

a) providing a natural eyelash, an eyelash extension, a bonding agent, and a sealing agent;

b) applying said bonding agent to said eyelash extension;

c) securing said eyelash extension to said natural eyelash; and

d) applying said sealing agent to said eyelash extension attached with said natural eyelash.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said bonding agent is selected from the group consisting of cyanoacrylate and a function equivalent of cyanoacrylate.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said sealing agent is selected from the group consisting of toluidine (or a functional equivalent), ethyl acetate (or a functional equivalent), butyl acetate (or a functional equivalent), isopropyl alcohol (or a functional equivalent), acetone (or a functional equivalent), methyl ethyl ketone (or a functional equivalent), alkyl toluidines (or a functional equivalent), ethanol (or a functional equivalent), isopropanol (or a functional equivalent), heptanes (or a functional equivalent), and heptanol (or a functional equivalent).

4. The method of claim 1, wherein said applying of said sealing agent causes said securing of said eyelash extension with said natural eyelash to occur in less than 10 seconds.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein said less than 10 seconds is approximately 1 second.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein a non-porous applicator is used to apply said sealing agent to said eyelash extension attached with said natural eyelash.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein said non-porous applicator is used to limit exposure of said natural eyelash to said sealing agent.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising step e) applying a coating agent to said eyelash extension attached with said natural eyelash.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein said application of said coating agent results in curing of said bonding agent.

10. A kit for securing an eyelash extension with a natural eyelash, comprising a bonding agent, a sealing agent, and one or more eyelash extensions.

11. The kit of claim 10, further comprising a cleansing agent designed to clean natural eyelashes.
