Abstract

An active arm eyelash applicator comprising of a stationary arm similar to traditional mascara wands and an active or movable arm attached to the stationary arm is disclosed. The active arm is controlled by a button protruding from a handle or end cap, allowing the active arm to open and close.

         1 . An active arm eyelash applicator; comprising:
 an active arm and a stationary arm both of which are held and affixed inside of an end cap housing wherein said end cap housing supports a depression button; wherein   said active arm at a distal end defines a de-clumping apparatus and said stationary arm at a distal end of defines a mascara wand; wherein said active and stationary arms are housed inside a tube base for storage when not in use which is attached to said end cap housing.   
     
     
         2 . The active arm eyelash applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein said depression button operates to move said active arm up and down relative to said stationary arm by utilizing a spring housed within said end cap housing when said tube base is removed. 
     
     
         3 . The active arm eyelash applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein when the eyelash applicator is in a closed position it is designed to be stored in a standard mascara base tube which is configured to be sealed to prevent mascara from drying out. 
     
     
         4 .

         7 . The active arm eyelash applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein said active arm will be controlled by said button that may be easily de-pressed, forcing said active arm to close onto said stationary arm wherein said button protrudes from said end cap, thereby squeezing said active arm toward said stationary arm when pressed down and allowing said active arm to open when not pressed. 
     
     
         8 . The active arm eyelash applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein said active arm is attached to a stationary arm by a spring-loaded hinge and each said arm will have an applicator at a distal end, one to perform product application and the other to de-clump in one easy motion. 
     
     
         9 . The active arm eyelash applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the stationary arm and active arm have alternate functions of any type or size of mascara brush head and lash comb in any combination.
