DUAL-PURPOSE MASCARA GUARD AND EYELINER GUIDE
(referred to as LINE 'n LASH)
DESCRIPTION
Technical Field
This product is used as a cosmetic application aid.
Background
Previous versions of this product are for use as a mascara guard to avoid
mascara being deposited onto the skin.
The invention we are submitting has an advantage over other products
because it has the addition of a dual-end purpose (the second end being
an eyeliner application guide).

Detailed Summary
1. The Line 'n Lash cosmetic application aid (Figure 1 (top view] and
Figure 3 [side view]) is made of hypoallergenic material.
2. a) One end of the Line 'n Lash is a mascara application guard
(Figure 2). The very end is slightly curved inward, while the entire
end is curved around (Figure 2, Item 1), then slightly out again at
both sides of this end (Figure 2, Item 2), to fit the curvature
underneath the lower eyelashes.
b) The mascara application guard is made of hypoallergenic material
which is rigid.
c) The mascara application guard is used by placing it underneath
the lower eyelashes; mascara may then be applied to the eyelashes.
The guard prevents the mascara from being deposited onto the
skin.
3. a) The opposite end of the Line 'n Lash is an eyeliner application
guide (Figure 4), which may also be used as a mascara application
guard. The very end is straight across, while the entire end is
curved around (Figure 4, Item 6), with rounded edges at both sides
of this end (Figure 4, Item 7), to fit over the upper eyelid.

b) The eyeliner application guide end is made of hypoallergenic
material, which is slightly pliable to adjust to various upper eyelid
shapes.
c) The eyeliner application guide is used by placing it on the upper
eyelid, just above where the lashes and eyelid meet; eyeliner may
then be applied in an even, neat line. The other use of this end is
when applying mascara to the upper eyelashes, the guard prevents
the mascara from being deposited onto the skin.
4. a) There is a "handle" (Figure l, Item 4) joining both ends of the Line
'n Lash.
b) Closer to the mascara application guard end, the handle measures
12 mm across at the bend referenced in Figure 2, Item 3. This
bend has a radius of 120 degrees (Figure 3, Item 3), and is located
28 mm from the tip of the mascara application guard end
(Figure 1, Item 3). This bend is located and angled for ease of use
of this end.
c) The handle tapers towards the eyeliner application guide end
where it measures 9 mm across at the bend referenced in Figure 4,
Item 5. This bend has a radius of 130 degrees (Figure 3, Item 5),
and is located 12 mm from the tip of the eyeliner application guide
end (Figure 1, Item 5). This bend is located and angled for ease of
use of this end.
