Abstract

A makeup tool includes a body portion with an elongated handle and a pair of arm portions. The pair of arm portions are spaced apart from one another such that an open space exists between the pair of arm portions. At least one collection sheet is removeably secured to each arm and spans the open space between the pair of arm portions. The handle is downwardly angled with respect to the pair of arm portions to allow a user to more easily grab the handle and position an edge of the at least one sheet against or adjacent a face of the user.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A makeup tool, comprising:
 a handle portion defining a centerline;   a pair of forwardly extending portions that are oriented generally parallel to said centerline;   at least one collection member removeably engaging each of said pair of forwardly extending portions;   a retention mechanism located on each of said pair of forwardly extending portions for contacting and retaining said at least one collection member;   said pair of forwardly extending portions extend at an angle with respect to said centerline when viewed from a side.   
     
     
         2 . The makeup tool of  claim 1 , wherein said retention mechanism consists of a slot formed in each of said pair of forwardly extending portions such that said at least one collection member is retained in each of said slots. 
     
     
         3 . The makeup tool of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one collection member is a removeable sheet. 
     
     
         4 . The makeup tool of  claim 4 , wherein a plurality of sheets engage said forwardly extending portions, such that when an individual sheet is removed, another sheet remains for collection of makeup particles. 
     
     
         5 . The makeup tool of  claim 1 , wherein said pair of forwardly extending portions extend at a downward angle with respect to said handle centerline. 
     
     
         6 . The makeup tool of  claim 1 , wherein said pair of forwardly extending portions extend at an angle of between 5 and 45 degrees with respect to said handle centerline. 
     
     
         7 . The makeup tool of  claim 1 , wherein said angle between said pair of forwardly extending portions and said handle centerline is adjustable. 
     
     
         8 . The makeup tool of  claim 3 , wherein said at least one removeable sheet has an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein said outer surface has a middle portion and a pair of outer portions, and wherein said outer surface is curved such that said middle portion is disposed closer to said handle than said pair of outer portions. 
     
     
         9 . A makeup tool, comprising:
 a handle portion defining a centerline;   a pair of forwardly extending portions that extend generally in an opposite direction from said handle portion;   at least one collection member removeably engaging each of said pair of forwardly extending portions;   a retention mechanism located on each of said pair of forwardly extending portions for contacting and retaining said at least one collection member;   wherein said at least one collection member has an inner surface and an outer surface, with said outer surface having a middle portion and a pair of outer portions, said outer surface being curved such that said middle portion is disposed closer to said handle than said pair of outer portions.   
     
     
         10 . The makeup tool of  claim 9 , said pair of forwardly extending portions extend at an angle with respect to said centerline when viewed from a side. 
     
     
         11 . The makeup tool of  claim 10 , wherein said pair of forwardly extending portions extend downwardly at an angle with respect to said centerline. 
     
     
         12 . The makeup tool of  claim 10 , wherein said pair of forwardly extending portions extend at an angle of between 5 and 45 degrees with respect to said handle centerline. 
     
     
         13 . The makeup tool of  claim 10 , wherein said angle between said pair of forwardly extending portions and said handle centerline is adjustable. 
     
     
         14 . The makeup tool of  claim 9 , wherein said retention mechanism consists of a slot formed in each of said pair of forwardly extending portions such that said at least one collection member is retained in each of said slots. 
     
     
         15 . The makeup tool of  claim 9 , wherein said at least one collection member is a removeable sheet. 
     
     
         16 . The makeup tool of  claim 15 , wherein a plurality of sheets engage said forwardly extending portions such that when an individual sheet is removed another sheet remains for collection of makeup particles.
