Abstract

False eyelash apparatus and methods for applying false eyelashes. A false eyelash holder for holding a false eyelash has a support member for supporting the false eyelash and is adjustable to cause inversion of the false eyelash from a convex shape to a substantially concave shape. An inverter-loader device is configured to receive the holder and operable to adjust the holder to cause the false eyelash inversion. An applicator for applying an inverted false eyelash to an eyelid may have a unitary structure or may be a clamp for gripping the inverted false eyelashes. The applicator is operable to carry the inverted false eyelash for allowing the applicator to roll the false eyelash lengthways onto an eyelid and allowing the rolling false eyelash to release from the applicator. The applicator may be disposable.

Claims

1-50. -50. (canceled)

51. A method of applying a false eyelash to an eyelid;

the method comprising;

providing a false eyelash;

supporting in a substantially convex shape said false eyelash on a support member in a first configuration;

adjusting said support member from said first configuration to said second configuration to invert said false eyelash to a substantially concave or straight shape;

applying adhesive to said false eyelash and/or an eyelid;

rolling the length of said inverted false eyelash laterally across an eyelid and off said support to adhere said false eyelash to said eyelid.

52. A method for holding a false eyelash comprising supporting a false eyelash, inverting the false eyelash shape from a convex shape to a substantially concave shape, and supporting said inverted false eyelash for loading into an applicator.

53. The method of claim 52, wherein supporting the false eyelash comprises supporting the false eyelash having a convex shape on a flexible band and wherein inverting the false eyelash shape from a convex shape to a substantially concave shape comprises deforming said flexible band supporting said false eyelash from a convex shape to a substantially concave shape so as to cause inversion of said eyelash from a convex shape to a substantially concave shape.

54. A method for applying a false eyelash, the method comprising clamping a false eyelash being supported in a concave shape by an eyelash holder, pulling off said false eyelash from said eye lash holder whilst clamping said false eyelash in said substantially said concave shape;

and releasing and loosely carrying said substantially concave shaped false eyelash;

rolling said false eyelash onto an eyelid and releasing said false eyelash from said applicator.

55-59. -59. (canceled)

60. A method for applying a false eyelash to an eyelid;

the method comprising;

supporting in a substantially concave or straight shape an inverted false eyelash on a support member; and

rolling the length of said inverted false eyelash laterally across an eyelid and off said support to adhere said false eyelash to said eyelid.
