"Artificial Eyelashes with a Tapered Cut", both of which are hereby
incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.

Provisional Application No. 62/211,461, filed on Aug. 28, 2015, the
entirety of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] (1) Field of Invention
[0004] The present invention relates to eyelash extensions and,
more particularly, to eyelash extensions having a plurality of
lashes with different distal tips.
[0005] (2) Description of Related Art
[0006] Beauty products have long been known in the art. Users,
women in particular, have sought a variety of beauty products to
enhance their aesthetic appearance. For example, blush is often
used to add color to a woman's cheeks. As another example, lipstick
is traditionally used to add a variety of colors and features to a
user's lips. To enhance the appearance of a user's eyelashes, some
eyelash technicians apply eyelash extensions to a user's natural
lashes. Traditional eyelash extensions are typically uniform, such
that they all have common characteristics and distal tips.
[0007] For example and as shown in FIGS. 1A through 1D, a variety
of synthetic eyelash extensions have been devised that are formed
of a plurality of filaments that are adhered to one another to form
branched eyelash extensions. However, in the prior art, the distal
tips are all formed in a similar manner. For example, FIG. 1A
illustrates an eyelash extension with two branches. Notably, the
distal tips 100 are all cut into blunt ends. Similarly, 1B
illustrates an eyelash extension with three branches. As was the
case above, the distal tips 100 are all cut into blunt ends. FIG.
1C and 1D illustrate another similar scenario, showing two and
three branched eyelash extensions, respectively. Notably and as
shown in FIG. 1C and 1D, the distal tips 100 are all tapered to a
point. In other words, the distal tips 100 on the various filaments
forming any given eyelash extension are similarly formed.
[0008] Therefore, there is a continuing need for eyelash extensions
that include multiple lashes or filaments with differently shaped
distal tips.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
[0009] The present invention relates to eyelash extensions and,
more particularly, to eyelash extensions having a plurality of
lashes with different distal tips. The eyelash extension is formed
of at least two filaments having a common proximal end and distinct
distal tips, such that the distal tips are different from one
another in shape, color, thickness or curve.
[0010] In one aspect, a first filament ends in a shape selected
from a group consisting of a tapered distal tip, a tapered cut
distal tip, and a blunt distal tip.
[0011] In another aspect, a second filament ends in a shape
selected from a group consisting of a tapered distal tip, a tapered
cut distal tip, and a blunt distal tip.
[0012] Finally, as can be appreciated by one in the art, the
present invention also comprises a method for forming and using the
invention described herein.

(1) Description
[0028] The present invention relates to eyelash extensions and,
more particularly, to eyelash extensions having a plurality of
lashes (filaments) with different distal tips. As shown in FIGS. 1A
through 1D, eyelash extensions of the prior art that include
multiple single lashes fused with one another have distal tips 100
that are shaped the same as one another. This is to be contrasted
with the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 2A through 2D, which
depicts eyelash extensions 200 where at least two filaments 202 (or
more) are connected with one another at a proximal end 201 and have
at least two distinct distal tips that are different than one
another.
[0029] For example, FIG. 2A illustrates a branched eyelash
extension 200 having two filaments 202. One of the filaments 202
includes a tapered distal tip 204 that is tapered to a point,
whereas the other filament 202 includes a blunt distal tip 206 that
is lat or cut as a blunt end.
[0030] As another example, FIG. 28 illustrates a branched eyelash
extension 200 having two filaments 202. In this aspect, one of the
filaments 202 includes a tapered cut distal tip 208, where the
filament 202 tapers toward its distal end and then is cut into a
blunt tip. The other filament 202 includes a blunt distal tip 206
that is flat or cut as a blunt end.
[0031] As yet another example, FIG. 2C illustrates a branched
eyelash extension 200 having two filaments 202. In this aspect, one
of the filaments 202 includes a tapered distal tip 204 that is
tapered to a point, whereas the other filament 202 includes a
tapered cut distal tip 208, where the filament 202 tapers toward
its distal end and then is cut into a blunt tip.
[0032] Another example is illustrated in FIG. 2D, which illustrates
a branched eyelash extension 200 having four filaments 202. In this
aspect, one of the filaments 202 includes a tapered distal tip 204
that is tapered to a point, whereas the other filament 202 includes
a tapered cut distal tip 208, and two other filaments 202 include a
blunt distal tips 206.
[0033] Another example is illustrated in FIG. 2E, which illustrates
a branched eyelash extension 200 having three filaments 202. In
this aspect, one of the filaments 202 includes a tapered distal tip
204 that is tapered to a point. However, at least one of the other
filaments 202 includes a distal tip that dissimilar. For example,
one of the filaments 202 can be formed to have a square shaped
distal tip 210, while the other filament 202 is formed to have a
round shaped distal tip 212. Thus, it should be understood that the
distal tips can be formed in any desired shape. The shapes in some
cases can be formed during initial formation of the filaments 202
through molding or any other suitable technique, or they can be
formed by modifying the filaments 202, such as by cutting, gluing
or otherwise modifying the originally formed shape. As a
non-limiting example, the tapered cut distal tip 208 can be formed
by cutting what was originally a tapered distal tip 204, or formed
according to the process as described and depicted in U.S.
Non-Provisional Application Ser. No. 13/851,714 regarding the
tapered portion. As yet another non-limiting example, the square or
round shapes can be originally molded or formed as add-ons that are
glued or melted onto tapered distal tips 204 (or any other shaped
distal tip).
[0034] Thus and as can be appreciated by those skilled in the art,
there are any number of ways of forming the eyelash extensions 200.
Notably and as applicable to the present invention, the eyelash
extensions 200 are formed such that they include at least two
filaments 202 (or more) that are connected to one another at any
location (e.g., at a proximal end forming a branch (as shown), or
along the length of the filaments) and that at least two of the
filaments 202 have distal tips that are dissimilar from one another
in shape, color, thickness or curve.
[0035] The filaments 202 can be connected with one another using
any technique, such as being conned together or separately formed
and fused with one another, via, for example, glue, melting,
etc.
[0036] The filaments can be formed in any number, shape, thickness,
color, curve, or material so long as at least two of the distal
tips are different from one another, including shapes, color,
curves, thickness, features, etc. As a non-limiting example, some
of the tips can be tapered, blunt (not tapered), tapered to a blunt
cut, or with balls or other shapely features (e.g., hall, square,
or any other shape), that can be formed or attached with the distal
tips.
