Artificial eyelash extension systems having enhanced appearance

Abstract

An artificial eyelash extension system is described. The artificial eyelash extension system includes at least one layer of eyelash filaments and includes an appearance-enhancing additive that imparts a wet look to the eyelash extension system. Various arrangements of layers of filaments are described.

         10 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 9 , wherein the plurality of eyelash filaments are arranged into multiple layers comprising a first layer, and at least one lower layer, wherein the first layer is a topmost layer of the multiple layers. 
     
     
         11 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 10 , wherein the additive is applied over the first layer. 
     
     
         12 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 11 , wherein the application of the additive is done over less than full lengths of the eyelash filaments of the first layer. 
     
     
         13 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 11 , wherein the additive is applied only to the first layer. 
     
     
         14 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 9 , wherein the additive comprises at least one of following ingredients: aloe gel, hair gel, glue, water, lash bond liquid, nano mister base, or lash detox solution. 
     
     
         15 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 14 , wherein the additive comprises a mixture of at least two of the ingredients. 
     
     
         16 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 15 , wherein the additive comprises a mixture of either water and hair gel or aloe gel and hair gel. 
     
     
         17 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 16 , wherein the mixture comprises one part of water and one part to two parts of hair gel. 
     
     
         18 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 16 , wherein the mixture comprises seven parts of hair gel mixed with one part of aloe gel. 
     
     
         19 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 14 , wherein the additive comprises water, and wherein a quantity of added water is varied based on an amount of water present in another ingredient of the additive. 
     
     
         20 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 10 , wherein the additive is applied after the layers of the plurality of eyelash filaments have been joined at the support strip. 
     
     
         21 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 10 , wherein the additive is applied before the layers of the plurality of eyelash filaments are joined at the support strip. 
     
     
         22 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 10 , wherein the additive is smudged from one layer to another layer after application to the plurality of eyelash filaments. 
     
     
         23 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 9 , wherein the additive is applied over variable portions of lengths of the plurality of eyelash filaments. 
     
     
         24 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 23 , wherein the additive is applied over a three-quarters portion or less of an average length of the eyelash filaments comprising at least a part of the plurality of the eyelash filaments. 
     
     
         25 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 24 , wherein the additive is applied over a half portion or less of the average length. 
     
     
         26 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 25 , wherein the additive is applied over a quarter portion or less of the average length. 
     
     
         27 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 10 , wherein the first layer extends substantially perpendicular with respect to the support strip. 
     
     
         28 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one lower layer comprises two or more lower layers, and each of the two or more lower layers has different orientations than the first layer, and the two or more lower layers have orientations that are crisscrossed with each other. 
     
     
         29 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 10 , wherein the eyelash filaments of the first layer are thicker in diameter than the eyelash filaments of the at least one lower layer. 
     
     
         30 . The artificial eyelash extension system of  claim 10 , wherein number of the eyelash filaments of the first layer is greater than number of the eyelash filaments of each of the at least one lower layer.
