Al forms of cosmetics are use in the fashion, micical, and enterainment industries. False eyelashes and ‘eyelash extensions are a commonly used technique for ‘enhancing or augmenting the appearance ofthe eye Current methods for applying, storing, and handling false ‘eyelashes present many problems that range from deleterious health consequences to difficulty in handling requiring high ‘degree of skill. Heath consequences can result from the false ‘eyelashes coming into contact with bacteria or other conta tion eventually infecting the eye. Thiscan happen when tools fre improperly used or sanitized. This ean also happen when ‘an adhesive is applied in an unsanitary way. Difficulty in applying false eyelashes ean result from the awkwarduseof delicate weezer or even fom attempting 0 apply the false eyelash with the naked fingertips. It ts com- ‘mon for the false eyelash to be applied further fom the base ‘of te real eyelash than desirable, oF with 190 much glue oF adhesive ‘Solutions have been fong sought but prior developments have not taught or suggested any solutions that provide ‘comprehensive answer to these difculties, and solutions to these problems have long eluded those skilled inthe at. Thus there remains a considerable need for devices and methods that allow the application of false eyelashes in an easy inti- tive way with minimal expertise or experience. SUMMARY, Contemplated embodiments ofthe eyelash pplication sys tem can include devices and methods having a cartridge hav- ing a handle, @ seat, and a cartridge mating structure: un ‘eyelash strip attached to the seat of the cartridge: and an applicator having atop arm with a clamping pad, te clamp- ing pad including an applicator mating structure configured to Jnerlock withthe eartidge mating structure ‘Accordingly it has been discovered that one oF more abodiments desribed herein can provide a natural intuitive solution allowing users to apply eyelash strips with minimal ‘experience and minimal ability. Aeeordingly many embodi ments havebeen diseavered to be wsefil inthe heath industry Jor allowing patients undergoing treatment, such as chemo therapy to apply the eyelash strips even when they have never needed to belo. Other contemplated embodiments can include objects, fe tures, aspects, and advantages in addition to or in place of those mentioned above. These objects, features, aspects, and ‘advantages of the embodiments will become more apparent from the following detailed description, along with the accompanying drawings BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS. ‘The eyelash application system is ilastrated in the igunes ‘ofthe accompanying drawings which are meant to be exem- play and not limiting, in which like reference numerals are Intended to refer fo ike components, and in whieh: 0 o 2 FIG. 1 isa top view of an applicator for an embodiment of the eyelash application system FIG. 2 side view of the applicator of FIG. 1.

Iris to be under- Stood that other embodiments may be uilized and strctral changes may be made without departing fom the scope ofthe {eyelash application system. The eyelash application system is described insufficient etal to enable those skilled in the art to make and use the eyelash application system and provide numerous specific ‘etal to give a thorough understanding of the eyelash opp cation system: however, i will be apparent thatthe eyelash em may be practiced without these specific Tnorder to avoid obscuring the eyclash aplication system, some well-known system configurations are not dislosed in Sets, Likewise, the drawings showing embodiments of the system are semi-diagrammatie and not to scale and, parien- larly, some of the dimensions are forthe clarity of present ‘ion and are shown greatly exaggerated in the drasving FIGS. Generally the eyelash application system can he operated ia any orientation, Por expository purposes, the term “horizontal” as used herein is defined a plane parallel to the bottom plane or bottom surfice ofthe cartridge, regardless of ts orientation. Te term “vertical” refers toa direction perpendicular tothe horizontal as just defined. Terms, such as “above”, “below”, “bottom”, “op”, "side", “higher”, "lower", “upper”, “over and “der”, ae defined with respect to Uae horizontal plane, ‘The tem “system” means an apparatus ora method based on the context in which itis used. ‘Referring now to FIG. I, therein i shown atop view of an applicator 102 for an embodiment oF the eyelash application system. The applicator 102s shown avingabroad distal end 104 and a narow proximal end 106. The distal end 104 includes clamping pad 108, curved with a concave curve, 10 ‘matel the shape of a users eye and the eyelash strips (shown And deseribed below), thas been discovered that providing the distal end having ‘large width and surface to handle redaces the skill require ‘meat forse. The lage width and surface allows the appica- tor 102 to be use hy users with a lesser dexterity and ellos users to Aix multiple fingers along with the thumb oa the US 9,215,901 BI 3 applicator 102 during used and utilize the larger muscles of the am and wrist allowing for greater contollbility and stability which can result in safer and more precise operation. ‘Te proximal end 106 is the end that is closer to a users west diring operation while the distal end 104i the ed that js closer toa users eye diring operation. The proximal end 106.an be formed witha smaller cross-section than the distal ‘end 104 fr grester mobility inthe hand so thatthe distal end 104 can be eld ina number of different postions within the hand. “The clamping pad 108 on the distal eud 104 of the appl ‘ator 102 can be made of a soft or pliable material such as silicon of rubber. The clamping pad 108 can be attached 0 @ Fidged member 110, The ridged member 110 spans the appi- ‘calor 12 from the proximal end 106 tothe stl end 104 I is contemplated that the ridged member 110 can be Jormed within the clamping pad 108 to provide structural rigidity for the clamping pad 108, cis further contemplated thatthe ridged member 10 can be formed within the eeater of the clamping pad 108 while leaving the outer edges of the ‘clamping pad 108 un-reinforeed by theridged member 1100 thatthe center ofthe lamping pad 108 can have a diferent ‘amount of structural rigidity than the outer edges. The clamping pad 108 can further include side extensions 1112 that extend sway from the ridged member 110 and the proximal end 106. The side extensions 112 ean border & ‘concave portion 114 ofthe clamping pad 108, Referring now to FIG. 2,thorin is showna side view ofthe applicator 192 of FIG. 1. For elaity when referring to the applicator 102 the reference sufi eters“T” and“ willbe ‘appeoded to the reference numerals where needed to refer fo ‘elements of a top arm 202T and bottom arm 2022, respec tively. The top arm 202T and the bottom arm 2028 are both showin having clamping pac 108T and clamping pad 108B, ‘distal end 104T and distal end 1048, a proximal end 1067 and proximal end 1062, respectively. “The distal end 10ST ofthe top arm 202T andthe distal end 1048 ofthe bottom arm 2021 are shown converging toward ‘each other and having the clamping pad 108T ofthe top arm, 2027 and the clamping pad HOSE of the bottom arm 2022 in
