Disclosed is an oxidizer-free method for providing semi-permanent curl to eyelashes, and a kit for use with the method. The method involves a three-step process: (i) applying a first composition that includes a reducing agent to an eyelash, (ii) applying a second composition that includes a contractile polymer to the eyelash, and (iii) manually lifting the eyelash. Unlike conventional lash lifting techniques, the disclosed method requires no glue, silicone pads, compositions with oxidizing agents, or heating.

Method and apparatus for oxidizer-free eyelash perming

An apparatus is provided that stabilizes an applicator in response to the motion caused by a user, comprising: a receiver configured to be coupled with a cosmetic applicator; at least one sensor configured to detect a movement caused by a user; circuitry configured to determine a compensation movement to offset the detected movement; and at least one motion generation device embedded in the receiver configured to control a motion of the cosmetic applicator according to the determined compensation movement.

Motion stabilizing device for a cosmetic applicator

A kit includes primer composition includes a vehicle comprising water and one or more first film-forming polymers stabilized in the vehicle, wherein the first film-forming polymer that is a non-ionic and water-soluble or water dispersible copolymer comprising a cyclic amide monomer, a cyclic amine monomer, and an acrylamide monomer. It further includes a mascara composition including water; colorant; wax; emulsifier; and one or more second polymers. The mascara composition has a critical shear rate from 2.5/s to 100/s. Methods of applying makeup to the eyelashes are also provided.

Mascara compositions and methods

Disclosed is a cosmetic composition for, e.g., use on eyelashes, that includes a latex polymer and a polyhydroxyalkanoate, where the polyhydroxyalkanoate is present in the composition in a total amount of between about 1% and about 5% by weight, and the monomers of the polyhydroxyalkanoate have carbon chain lengths of between 3 and 5.

Cosmetic composition comprising biodegradable polymers

A composition for removing nail polish includes a propylene glycol methyl ether; and a C2-C3 monoalcohol. The C2-C3 monoalcohol and the propylene glycol methyl ether are present in a C2-C3 monoalcohol to propylene glycol methyl ether ratio by weight from about 1:1 to about 20:1. Methods for removing nail polish are also provided.

Systems and methods for manufacturing eyelash prostheses are described.

Methods for fabricating custom eyelash prostheses

A mascara composition includes a film-forming polymer portion. The film-forming polymer portion is stabilized in a vehicle that includes water. The film-forming polymer portion includes a high molecular weight vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer and an acrylic polymer having a glass transition temperature of 65&#xb0; C. or more. The mascara composition includes at least about 10 percent by weight of the vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer and is substantially free of wax. Methods of applying makeup to the eyelashes are also provided.

Mascara compositions including vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer and an acrylic film-forming polymer

A mascara composition includes at least about 7 percent by weight of a non-ionic water-soluble or water dispersible copolymer that includes a cyclic amide monomer, a cyclic amine monomer, and an acrylamide monomer. Methods of applying makeup to the eyelashes are also provided.

Mascara compositions comprising a polymer having cyclic amide, cyclic amine and acrylamide functionality

A mascara composition includes a vehicle comprising water; a primary film-forming polymer that is a non-ionic and water-soluble or water dispersible copolymer comprising a first cyclic amide monomer, a cyclic amine monomer, and an acrylamide monomer; at least one nonionic secondary film-forming polymer having a fraction of a second cyclic amide monomer that is at least about 70% by weight of the at least one secondary film-forming polymer; and from about 0.5% to about 8% by weight of a C2-C5 alcohol.

A system is provided for evaluating a curl of at least one eyelash sample that includes a plurality of fibers, comprising: a platform configured to receive a sample of the eyelash sample; an image capturing device configured to capture profile image of the eyelash ample; and a processing system configured to receive the profile image and evaluate at least one feature related to a curl of one or more of the fibers of at least one eyelash sample.

Automated imaging system for evaluating the curl of a keratinous substrate

A mascara composition including a film-forming polymer portion and a particulate portion is provided. The film-forming polymer portion comprises a high molecular weight vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer and the particulate portion comprises an inorganic particulate. The mascara composition comprises at least about ten percent by weight of the vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer and is substantially free of wax. Methods of applying makeup to the eyelashes are also provided.
