Patent 9185943 was granted and assigned to Novalash on November, 2015 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A self-adhesive artificial eyelash system attachable to a subject wearer's existing natural eyelashes to modify the appearance of the existing natural eyelashes is disclosed. The system includes an adhesive that passes between the existing natural eyelashes and adheres to surrounding support strips such that the existing natural eyelashes are disposed between upper and lower support strips and the adhered support strips are supported on the existing natural eyelashes. Artificial lash hairs extend from the support strips and thus are supported on the existing natural eyelashes via the adhered support strips. The adherence layer between the support strips may include mechanical fasteners.
