Abstract

Prefabricated artificial eyelash strips are prepared for use by trimming the lash fibers with scissors oriented substantially parallel to the lash fibers, and subsequently cutting the base into a plurality of sections.

Claims

1. A method of preparing prefabricated artificial eyelashes having hairlike fibers extending outwardly from a flexible base member which comprises cutting the base member into a plurality of sections having section lengths of 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the section lengths are from 5/16 inch and 7/16 inch.

3. A method of preparing prefabricated artificial eyelashes having hairlike fibers extending outwardly from a flexible base member which comprises shortening a plurality of the hairlike fibers with cutting means oriented in a plane substantially perpendicular to the base member, and subsequently dividing the base member into a plurality of sections.

4. The method of claim 2 wherein the base member is divided into a plurality of sections having individual lengths of from about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch.

5. The method of claim 2 wherein the base member is divided into from four to seven sections having individual lengths of from about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch.

6. The method of claim 2 wherein the base member is divided into from five to six sections having individual lengths of from about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch.

7. A method of applying false eyelashes to an eye comprising adhering a plurality of false eyelash sections having base member lengths of from about 1/4 inch to about 1/2 inch to the eye immediately above the natural eyelash line, and adhering at least one outermost false eyelash section substantially above, and at an outwardly opening angle to, the natural eyelash line.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the innermost false eyelash section is placed such that the nearest edge of the base is not less than 1/4 inch from the closest part of the tear duct of the eye.

9. The method of claim 7 wherein the number of sections used is from four to seven.
