System for applying artificial eyelashes

Abstract

Malleable, double-sided adhesive strips are used for applying artificial lash clusters to natural eyelashes.

1 . An artificial eyelash system, comprising:
 a malleable, double-sided adhesive strip;   a sleeve being configured to carry the adhesive strip, the adhesive strip being configured for attachment to a false eyelash, the combined adhesive strip and false eyelash being further configured for attachment proximate an eyelid.   
     
     
         2 . The artificial eyelash system as in  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of malleable, double-sided adhesive strips arranged in rows and columns in the sleeve. 
     
     
         3 . The artificial eyelash system as in  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive strip is formed from petroleum resins, paraffin waxes, hydrocarbon waxes, styrene-isoprene copolymer, and pentaerythritol tetrakis. 
     
     
         4 . The artificial eyelash system as in  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive strip includes carbon black. 
     
     
         5 . The artificial eyelash system as in  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive strip is substantially flat in appearance. 
     
     
         6 . The artificial eyelash system as in  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive strip defines a substantially rectangular shape in cross-section. 
     
     
         7 . A method of using an artificial eyelash system, the method comprising,
 providing a protective sleeve;   removing a carrying sheet with adhesive strips from the protective sleeve;   peeling away a non-stick sheet from a desired row of strips to expose an adhesive strip;   attaching a false eyelash cluster to an eyelash applicator;   placing the eyelash applicator proximate the exposed adhesive strip;   aligning the false eyelash cluster with the adhesive strip;   pressing together the false eyelash cluster with the adhesive strip, the adhesive strip adhering thereto;   placing the applicator carrying the combined false eyelash cluster and adhesive strip proximate a natural eyelash underside; and   applying the combined eyelash cluster and adhesive strip to the natural eyelash underside, the adhesive strip being adhesively disposed between the eyelash cluster and the natural eyelash underside.   
     
     
         8 . The method as in  claim 7 , wherein the false eyelash cluster defines a substantially rectangular base and the adhesive strip is substantially flat, the base and the strip being complementary to each other.
