Cosmetics brush with reservoir

Abstract

Example aspects of a cosmetics brush and a method for using a cosmetics brush are disclosed. The cosmetics brush can comprise a brush body; a brush head coupled to the brush body, the brush head defining a substantially disc-shaped cross section, a hole defined through a center of the brush head; a core received within the hole, the core defining a receiver surface configured to receive cosmetics thereon; and a mesh layer extending across the hole and configured to cover the receiver surface.

That which is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cosmetics brush comprising:
 a brush body;   a brush head coupled to the brush body, the brush head defining a substantially disc-shaped cross section, a hole defined through a center of the brush head;   a core received within the hole, the core defining a receiver surface configured to receive cosmetics thereon; and   a mesh layer extending across the hole and configured to cover the receiver surface.   
     
     
         2 . The cosmetics brush of  claim 1 , wherein the receiver surface is a concave receiver surface defining at least a portion of a reservoir configured to receive cosmetics therein. 
     
     
         3 . The cosmetics brush of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the brush head defines a lower portion coupled to the brush body and an administering end distal to the brush body;   the receiver surface of the core is oriented between the lower portion and the administering end; and   the mesh layer is oriented at one of the administering end and between the receiver surface and the administering end.   
     
     
         4 . The cosmetics brush of  claim 3 , wherein the administering end defines a convex disc-shaped application surface. 
     
     
         5 . The cosmetics brush of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the brush body defines a handle and a ferrule coupled to the handle; and   each of the brush head and the core are coupled to the ferrule opposite the handle.   
     
     
         6 . The cosmetics brush of  claim 5 , wherein the ferrule defines an annular groove opposite the handle, the annular groove configured to receive a lower portion of the brush head. 
     
     
         7 . The cosmetics brush of  claim 5 , wherein the ferrule defines a cylindrical inner projection extending therefrom opposite the handle, the core mounted to the cylindrical inner projection. 
     
     
         8 . The cosmetics brush of  claim 1 , wherein the brush head comprises a foam sponge. 
     
     
         9 . The cosmetics brush of  claim 1 , wherein;
 the brush head defines a circumferential outer wall and a circumferential inner wall;   the circumferential inner wall defines the hole; and   The circumferential inner wall and the receiver surface define a reservoir configured to receive cosmetics therein.   
     
     
         10 . The cosmetics brush of  claim 1 , wherein the brush head defines a hollow interior. 
     
     
         11 . The cosmetics brush of  claim 1 , wherein the brush head defines a solid interior. 
     
     
         12 . A cosmetics brush comprising:
 a brush body; and   a cosmetics applicator coupled to the brush body, the cosmetics applicator comprising:
 a lower pad at least partially defining a reservoir for receiving cosmetics therein; 
 a brush head defining a hole therethrough; and 
 a mesh layer received between the lower pad and the brush head. 
   
     
     
         13 . The cosmetics brush of  claim 12 , further comprising a mesh retainer defining an opening therethrough, the lower pad received within the opening, the mesh layer mounted to the mesh retainer and covering the lower pad. 
     
     
         14 . The cosmetics brush of  claim 12 , wherein the brush head defines an administering end distal to the brush body, the administering end defining a substantially disc-shaped application surface configured to engage a user's skin for application of the cosmetics. 
     
     
         15 . A method for using a cosmetics brush comprising:
 providing the cosmetics brush, the cosmetics brush comprising a brush body and a cosmetics applicator secured to the brush body, the cosmetics applicator comprising a brush head, a mesh layer, and a core, the brush head defining a hole, the core received within the hole, the core defining a receiver surface, the mesh layer extending across the hole and covering the receiver surface;   depositing a cosmetic on the receiver surface;   dispelling the cosmetic from the receiver surface through the mesh layer; and   applying the cosmetic to a user's skin.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein depositing a cosmetic on the receiver surface comprises depositing the cosmetic through the mesh layer and onto the receiver surface. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein applying the cosmetic onto a user's skin comprises engaging an administering end of the brush head with the user's skin and rubbing the administering end against the user's skin. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the cosmetic is a first cosmetic and the method further comprises depositing a second cosmetic on the receiver surface prior to dispelling the cosmetic from the receiver surface. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein dispelling the cosmetic from the receiver surface comprise dispelling the first cosmetic and second cosmetic simultaneously from the receiver surface. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein applying the cosmetic to a user's skin comprises:
 engaging an administering end of the brush head with the user's skin to deposit the first cosmetic and second cosmetic onto the user's skin simultaneously; and   rubbing the administering end of the brush head with the user's skin to blend the first cosmetic with the second cosmetic on the user's skin.
