Frameless adjustable facial and cosmetic/makeup shield

Abstract

A frameless adjustable facial shield can have a shield connected to a headband with the headband having a gasket strip with multiple protruding ridges configured to continuously contact the skin of a user. The gasket strip can provide a substantially water-tight and releasable seal that separates a face portion of the user from a forehead portion of the user while the face portion is covered by the shield.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus comprising a shield attached to a headband with a first width, the headband comprising a watertight seal continuously extending a second width, greater than the first width, the watertight seal configured to contact a skin of a user to separate a forehead portion of the user from a face portion of the user, the face portion positioned behind the shield. 
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the shield contacts the headband with the first width. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the shield has a rectangular shape defined by the first width and a shield length measured an orthogonal direction from the headband proximal the face portion of the user. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the headband has a third width, greater than the first width and the second width. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the third width is configured to wrap around a head of the user. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the watertight seal comprises a rectangular cross-sectional shape extending towards a skin of the user. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the watertight seal comprises a D-shaped cross-sectional shape extending towards a skin of the user. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the watertight seal comprises a P-shaped cross-sectional shape extending towards a skin of the user. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the watertight seal comprises a continuously curvilinear cross-sectional shape extending towards a skin of the user. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the watertight seal extends towards a skin of the user up to one inch. 
     
     
         11 . An apparatus comprising a shield attached to a headband with a first width, the headband comprising a watertight seal continuously extending a second width, greater than the first width, the watertight seal comprising a protrusion configured to contact a skin of a user to separate a forehead portion of the user from a face portion of the user, the face portion positioned behind the shield. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the protrusion is positioned along a top edge of the headband. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the protrusion continuously extends from a first position behind a left ear of the user to a second position behind a right ear of the user. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein a fastener is attached to the headband and separated from the watertight seal. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the shield continuously extends between the left ear and the right ear. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the protrusion directs water from the forehead portion to behind the left ear and right ear of the user. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the protrusion comprises a flat surface contacting the skin of the user. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the protrusion comprises a rounded surface contacting the skin of the user. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the watertight seal is attached to a headband material via adhesive. 
     
     
         20 . An apparatus comprising a shield attached to a headband with a first width, the headband comprising a watertight seal continuously extending a second width, greater than the first width, the watertight seal comprising a protrusion continuously extending along, and parallel to, a longitudinal axis of the headband to contact a skin of a user to separate a forehead portion of the user from a face portion of the user, the face portion positioned behind the shield.
