Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The following includes information that may be useful in
understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that
any of the information provided herein is prior art nor material to
the presently described or claimed inventions, nor that any
publication or document that is specifically or implicitly
referenced is prior art.
1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention relates generally to the field of
brushes and more specifically relates to cosmetic brush
systems.
2. DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART
[0003] Cosmetic brushes are the main applicators for people
applying makeup. Different sorts of makeup require different
brushes such as a lip brush, an eye shadow brush etc. In cosmetic
applicators currently commercially available, one brush has only
one function, so the user needs to buy a set of brushes to achieve
a satisfactory makeup. A brush head on a normal brush can easily be
damaged by frequent use, and may need to be replaced. However, it
is wasteful to throw the brush handle and ferrule away when only
the head of the brush is damaged. A suitable solution is
desired.
[0004] U.S. Pub. No. 2013/0125921 to Wayne Celia relates to a
method and apparatus for a makeup applicator. The described method
and apparatus for a makeup applicator includes a makeup applicator
comprising a ferrule and a series of reversibly attachable,
interchangeable heads and a method of making the same. Through
these interchangeable heads, the instant invention allows for quick
and convenient use of multiple makeup applicators that are
relatively simple to manufacture, stable enough to be used with
precision, and highly adaptable.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known
brushes art, the present disclosure provides novel cosmetic brush
systems. The general purpose of the present disclosure, which will
be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide an
efficient applicator means.
[0006] A cosmetic brush system is disclosed herein. The cosmetic
brush system includes a cosmetic brush assembly having a head
assembly including an application-head, tubular-member, and a base,
and a handle. The application-head is located at a distal end of
the tubular-member and the base is located at a proximal end of the
tubular-member; the base configured to receive and secure the
handle via fastening means for use. In certain embodiments, the
base of the head assembly comprises apertures configured to allow
fluid to pass therethrough for cleaning and sanitizing bristles of
the application-head. A magnetic element inside the top of brush
attachment may be attached to a magnetic surface to allow the brush
to dry quicker, more effectively and reduce/eliminate excess water,
mold and residue. The present invention is directed to an
interchangeable makeup brush that solves multiple problems due to
limitations and disadvantages of the convention cosmetic brush by
