Non-adhesive false eyelash system and method

Abstract

A false eyelash system comprised of upper and lower eyelash assemblies, each including a magnetic and/or metallic element, the assemblies are frictionally secured through magnetic attraction to the wearer's natural eyelash which is sandwiched therebetween.

I claim, 
     
         1 . A false eyelash comprised of:
 a substrate strip having a first surface and a second surface, said substrate strip having a generally elongated shape and a longitudinal axis, said first surface and said second surface located on opposing sides of said substrate strip;   a plurality of hairs affixed to, and extending from, said substrate strip, said hairs oriented substantially perpendicularly with respect to said longitudinal axis; and   one or more flat metallic elements affixed to said substrate strip.   
     
     
         2 . The false eyelash of  claim 1  wherein said hairs are affixed to said first surface of said substrate strip and said metallic plates are affixed to said second surface of said substrate strip. 
     
     
         3 . The false eyelash of  claim 1  wherein said one or more metallic elements are inherently magnetic. 
     
     
         4 . The false eyelash of  claim 1  wherein said one or more metallic elements are magnetizable. 
     
     
         5 . The false eyelash of  claim 1  wherein said hairs are selected from the group comprised of: human hairs, animal hairs, synthetic hairs and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         6 . A false eyelash comprised of:
 a substrate strip having a first surface and a second surface, said substrate strip having a generally elongated shape and a longitudinal axis, said first surface and said second surface located on opposing sides of said substrate strip;   a plurality of hairs affixed to, and extending from, said substrate strip, said hairs oriented substantially perpendicularly with respect to said longitudinal axis; and   said substrate strip having a metallized coating, said metallized coating comprising metallic particles embedded within a polymer or plastic binder.   
     
     
         7 . The false eyelash of  claim 6  wherein said hairs are affixed to said first surface of said substrate strip and said metallized coating is applied to said second surface, of said substrate strip. 
     
     
         8 . The false eyelash of  claim 6  wherein said metallic particles are inherently magnetic. 
     
     
         9 . The false eyelash of  claim 6  wherein said metallic plates are magnetizable. 
     
     
         10 . The false eyelash of  claim 6  wherein said hairs are selected from the group comprised of: human hairs, animal hairs, synthetic hairs and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         11 . A false eyelash system comprised of:
 an upper false eyelash and a lower false eyelash   the upper false eyelash comprising a substrate strip having a first surface and a second surface, said substrate strip having a generally elongated shape and a longitudinal axis, said first surface and said second surface located on opposing sides of said substrate strip;   the upper false eyelash further comprising a. plurality of eyelash hairs affixed to, and extending from, said upper false eyelash substrate strip, said hairs oriented substantially perpendicularly with respect to said longitudinal axis of said upper false eyelash substrate strip;   the upper false eyelash further comprising one or more flat metallic elements affixed to said upper false eyelash surface strip;   the lower false eyelash comprising a substrate strip having a first surface and a second surface, said substrate strip having a generally elongated shape and a longitudinal axis, said first surface and said second surface located on opposing sides of said substrate strip;   the lower false eyelash further comprising a plurality of eyelash hairs affixed to, and extending from said lower false eyelash substrate strip, said hairs oriented substantially perpendicularly with respect to said longitudinal axis of said lower false eyelash substrate strip; and   the lower false eyelash further comprising one or more flat metallic elements affixed to said lower false eyelash surface strip.   
     
     
         12 . The false eyelash of  claim 11  wherein said hairs are affixed to said first surfaces of said upper and lower false eyelash substrate strips and said metallic elements are affixed to said second surfaces of said upper and lower false eyelash substrate strips. 
     
     
         13 . The false eyelash of  claim 11  wherein said one or more metallic elements are inherently magnetic. 
     
     
         14 . The false eyelash of  claim 11  wherein said one or more metallic elements are magnetizable. 
     
     
         15 . The false eyelash of  claim 11  wherein said hairs are selected from the group comprised of: human hairs, animal hairs, synthetic hairs and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         16 . A method for applying a Use eyelash system to a human eyelash comprising:
 placing in close proximity to the upper part of the human eyelash a first false eyelash comprised of a first substrate, a plurality of hairs affixed to the first substrate, and one or more metallic elements affixed to the first substrate;   placing in close proximity to the lower part of the human eyelash a second false eyelash comprised of a second substrate, a plurality of hairs affixed to the second substrate, and one or more metallic elements affixed to the second substrate;   wherein one or more of the metallic elements in said first or second false eyelashes contain a magnetic charge;   converging said first and second false eyelashes onto said human eyelash until magnetic force engages said first false eyelash with said second false eyelash with said human eyelash in between.
