DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0096]In the following discussion that addresses a number of embodiments and applications of the present invention, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part thereof, where depictions are made, by way of illustration, of specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
[0097]FIG. 1A may depict a top perspective view of a makeup-repair-tool 100 according to a first embodiment. FIG. 1B may depict a front view and/or a back view of makeup-repair-tool 100. In some embodiments, the front view and the back view may be substantially similar or substantially identical. FIG. 1C may depict a left-side view and/or a right-side view of makeup-repair-tool 100. In some embodiments, the left-side view and the right-side view may be substantially similar or substantially identical. FIG. 1D may depict a top view of makeup-repair-tool 100. FIG. 1E may depict a bottom view of makeup-repair-tool 100. FIG. 1F may depict a bottom perspective view of makeup-repair-tool 100.
[0098]Discussing FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C, and FIG. 1F, in some embodiments, makeup-repair-tool 100 may comprise a first-press 101 and a handle 103. In some embodiments, first-press 101 may be for pressing against makeup to compact and level the makeup. See e.g., FIG. 5E for an example of such a use. In some embodiments, this makeup may be broken-makeup 507. Continuing discussing FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C, and FIG. 1F, in some embodiments, handle 103 may be attached to first-press 101. In some embodiments, when a force may be removably exerted upon handle 103, then first-press 101 may press against the makeup (e.g., against the broken-makeup 507). In some embodiments, when a force may be removably exerted upon handle 103, then first-press 101 may press against broken-makeup 507 to level and compact it, as may be illustrated in FIG. 5E.
[0099]In some embodiments, first-press 101 may comprise a first-press-surface 105 (see e.g., FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C, FIG. 1E, and FIG. 1F). In some embodiments, first-press 101 may comprise a first-non-press-surface 107 (see e.g., FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C, and FIG. 1D). In some embodiments, first-press-surface 105 may be disposed opposite of first-non-press-surface 107. In some embodiments, first-press-surface 105 and/or first-non-press-surface 107 may be major surface(s) of first-press 101 (e.g., as measured by surface area of first-press 101). In some embodiments, at least portions of first-press-surface 105 may removably contact the makeup (e.g., the broken-makeup 507). In some embodiments, handle 103 may attach to first-press 101 at at least one location of first-non-press-surface 107, see e.g., FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, and FIG. 1C. This at least one location of attachment may be about a geometric center of first-non-press-surface 107.
[0100]In some embodiments, first-press-surface 105 may be one or more of substantially: electrostatically neutral, smooth, flat, planar, rigid, semi-rigid, textured, combinations thereof, and/or the like. See e.g., FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C, FIG. 1E, and FIG. 1F. Having a smooth, flat, planar, rigid, and/or semi-rigid characteristic of first-press-surface 105 may promote pressing and compacting of the makeup (such as against broken-makeup 507). Having an electrostatically neutral first-press-surface 105, may minimize such makeup “sticking” to first-press-surface 105 due to opposite electrical charges, as may otherwise occur in static electricity environments. In some embodiments, first-press-surface 105 or first-press 101 may be manufactured from a substantially electrostatically neutral material.
[0101]In some embodiments, first-press 101 may be defined and bound by a closed-perimeter 109. See e.g., FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C, FIG. 1D, FIG. 1E, and FIG. 1F. In some embodiments, this closed-perimeter 109 may be substantially circular. In some embodiments, this closed-perimeter 109 may be substantially shaped as: a circle, a polygon, a parallelogram, a rectangle, a square; and/or the like. In some embodiments, this closed-perimeter 109 may be substantially shaped and sized to fit within a makeup pan 503 that may be holding the makeup (such as holding the broken-makeup 503). A shape and size of a given makeup pan 503 is predetermined and fixed. In some embodiments, the makeup pan 503 may have an opening shaped substantially as: a circle, an oval, a polygon, a parallelogram, a rectangle, a square, an irregular polygon, a polygon with rounded corners, a star shape, and/or the like. See e.g., FIG. 5A through FIG. 5E which may show a circular shaped opening to makeup pan 503.
[0102]In some embodiments, handle 103 may be one or more of substantially: an elongate member, a structural member, a rigid member, a semi-rigid member, a straight member, combinations thereof, and/or the like. See e.g., FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C, and FIG. 1F. In some embodiments, handle 103 may be an elongate member that may extend substantially orthogonally from a major surface of first-press 101. See e.g., FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, and FIG. 1C. In some embodiments, such a major surface may be first-non-press-surface 107.
[0103]In some embodiments, handle 103 may be an elongate member that may comprise at least one slot 111. In some embodiments, at least one slot 111 may run along at least some of a length of handle 103. In some embodiments, at least one slot 111 may have a longitude that may be substantially parallel with a longitude of the elongate member of handle 103. See e.g., FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C, and FIG. 1F.
[0104]In some embodiments, handle 103 may be an elongate member that may comprise two opposing slots 111. In some embodiments, these two opposing slots 111 may run along at least some of a length of handle 103. In some embodiments, these two opposing slots 111 each may have a longitude that may be substantially parallel with a longitude of the elongate member of handle 103. See e.g., FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C, and FIG. 1F.
[0105]In some embodiments, slot(s) 111 may reduce material costs in manufacturing a given handle 103 because such slot(s) 111 allow for void space. In some embodiments, slot(s) 111 may function as structural ribs or girders for a given handle 103, providing increased rigidity to handle 103 that otherwise would be absent in a handle without such slot(s) 111. In some embodiments, slot(s) 111 may function to reduce shrinkage problems from cooling post injection molding of a given handle 103 that otherwise would be absent in a handle without such slot(s) 111.
[0106]In some embodiments, makeup-repair-tool 100 may comprise a second-press 113. In some embodiments, second-press 113 may be attached to handle 103. In some embodiments, second-press 113 may be for pressing against different makeup; i.e., makeup within a different sized makeup pan 503 as compared against a makeup pan 503 that receives first-press 101. In some embodiments, when a different force may be removably exerted upon handle 103, then second-press 113 may press against the different makeup within the different sized makeup pan 503. See e.g., FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C, FIG. 1D, and FIG. 1F.
[0107]In some embodiments, second-press 113 may comprise a second-press-surface 115. See e.g., FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C, and FIG. 1D. In some embodiments, second-press 113 may comprise a second-non-press-surface 117. See e.g., FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C, and FIG. 1F. In some embodiments, second-press-surface 115 may be disposed opposite of second-non-press-surface 117. In some embodiments, second-press-surface 115 and/or second-non-press-surface 117 may be major surface(s) of second-press 113 (e.g., as measured by surface area of second-press 113). In some embodiments, at least portions of second-press-surface 115 may removably contact the different makeup. In some embodiments, handle 103 may attach to second-press 113 at at least one location of second-non-press-surface 117, see e.g., FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C, and FIG. 1F. This at least one location of attachment may be about a geometric center of second-non-press-surface 117.
[0108]In some embodiments, second-press-surface 115 may be one or more of substantially: electrostatically neutral, smooth, flat, planar, rigid, semi-rigid, textured, combinations thereof, and/or the like. See e.g., FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C, and FIG. 1D. Having a smooth, flat, planar, rigid, and/or semi-rigid characteristic of second-press-surface 115 may promote pressing of the different makeup (such as against broken-makeup 507 within the different sized makeup pan 503). Having an electrostatically neutral second-press-surface 115, may minimize such makeup “sticking” to second-press-surface 115 due to opposite electrical charges, as may otherwise occur in static electricity environments. In some embodiments, second-press-surface 115 or second-press 113 may be manufactured from a substantially electrostatically neutral material.
[0109]In some embodiments, second-press 113 may be defined and bound by a second-closed-perimeter 119. See e.g., FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C, FIG. 1D, and FIG. 1F. In some embodiments, this second-closed-perimeter 119 may be substantially circular. In some embodiments, this second-closed-perimeter 119 may be substantially shaped as: a circle, a polygon, a parallelogram, a rectangle, a square; and/or the like. In some embodiments, this second-closed-perimeter 119 may be substantially shaped and sized to fit within the different sized makeup pan 503 that maybe holding the different makeup (such as holding different broken-makeup 503). A shape and size of a given makeup pan 503, including the different sized makeup pan 503, is predetermined. In some embodiments, this different sized makeup pan 503 may have an opening shaped substantially as: a circle, an oval, a polygon, a parallelogram, a rectangle, a square, an irregular polygon, a polygon with rounded corners, a star shape, and/or the like. See e.g., FIG. 5A through FIG. 5E which may show a circular shaped opening to a makeup pan 503. In some embodiments, the different sized makeup pan 503 may be smaller than the makeup pan 503 shown in FIG. 5A through FIG. 5E.
[0110]In some embodiments, first-press 101 may comprise a dimension-of-first-press 121. See e.g., FIG. 1D. For example, and without limiting the scope of the present invention, when closed-perimeter 109 may be substantially circular shaped or a circle, dimension-of-first-press 121 may be a diameter of closed-perimeter 109. In some embodiments, second-press 113 may comprise a dimension-of-second-press 123. See e.g., FIG. 1D. For example, and without limiting the scope of the present invention, when second closed-perimeter 119 may be substantially circular shaped or a circle, dimension-of-second-press 123 may be a diameter of second-closed-perimeter 119. In some embodiments, dimension-of-first-press 121 may be larger than dimension-of-second-press 123. In some embodiments, a ratio of dimension-of-first-press 121 to dimension-of-second-press 123 may be substantially 2.75. In some embodiments, a ratio of dimension-of-first-press 121 to dimension-of-second-press 123 may be substantially from 2.50 to 3.00.
[0111]In some embodiments, makeup-repair-tool 100 may comprise handle 103, first-press 101, and second-press 113. In some embodiments, handle 103 may be a structural elongate member with two opposing terminal ends. In some embodiments, each respective terminal end may be attached to a given press, such as first-press 101 and second-press 113, respectively. In some embodiments, longitude of handle 103 may be substantially orthogonal with respect to major surfaces of both first-press 101 (e.g., first-press-surface 105 and/or first-non-press-surface 107) and of second-press 113 (e.g., second-press-surface 115 and/or second-non-press-surface 117). In some embodiments, handle 103, first-press 101, and second-press 113 may be as described above and as shown in FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C, FIG. 1D, FIG. 1E, and FIG. 1F.
[0112]In some embodiments, makeup-repair-tool 100 may comprise handle 103, first-press 101, and second-press 113. In some embodiments, handle 103 may be integral with both first-press 101 and with second-press 113. In some embodiments, makeup-repair-tool 100 with handle 103, first-press 101, and second-press 113 may be manufactured as a single integral article of manufacture. For example, and without limiting the scope of the present invention, makeup-repair-tool 100 may be substantially manufactured via injection molding, 3D printing, and/or the like.
[0113]In some embodiments, the various presses, such as first-press 101 and second-press 113 may be substantially disc shaped. In some embodiments, the various presses, such as first-press 101 and second-press 113 may be substantially circular disc shapes. See e.g., FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C, FIG. 1D, FIG. 1E, and FIG. 1F.
[0114]FIG. 2A may depict a top perspective view of a makeup-repair-tool 200 according to a second embodiment. FIG. 2B may depict a front view and/or a back view of makeup-repair-tool 200. In some embodiments, the front view and the back view may be substantially similar or substantially identical. FIG. 2C may depict a left-side view and/or a right-side view of makeup-repair-tool 200. In some embodiments, the left-side view and the right-side view may be substantially similar or substantially identical. FIG. 2D may depict a top view of makeup-repair-tool 200. FIG. 2E may depict a bottom view of makeup-repair-tool 200. FIG. 2F may depict a bottom perspective view of makeup-repair-tool 200.
[0115]Discussing FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, and FIG. 2F, in some embodiments, makeup-repair-tool 200 may comprise a first-press 201 and a handle 203. In some embodiments, first-press 201 may be for pressing against makeup to compact and level the makeup. See e.g., FIG. 5E for an example of such a use; although in FIG. 5E it may be makeup-repair-tool 100 that may be shown in use; note, it is expressly contemplated that makeup-repair-tool 100 shown in FIG. 5E may be replaced with makeup-repair-tool 200 without deviating from the scope of embodiments of this invention. In some embodiments, this makeup may be broken-makeup 507. Continuing discussing FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, and FIG. 2F, in some embodiments, handle 203 may be attached to first-press 201. In some embodiments, when a force may be removably exerted upon handle 203, then first-press 201 may press against the makeup (e.g., against the broken-makeup 507). In some embodiments, when a force may be removably exerted upon handle 203, then first-press 201 may press against broken-makeup 507 to level and compact it, as may be illustrated in FIG. 5E.
[0116]In some embodiments, first-press 201 may comprise a first-press-surface 205 (see e.g., FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, FIG. 2E, and FIG. 2F). In some embodiments, first-press 201 may comprise a first-non-press-surface 207 (see e.g., FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, and FIG. 2D). In some embodiments, first-press-surface 205 may be disposed opposite of first-non-press-surface 207. In some embodiments, first-press-surface 205 and/or first-non-press-surface 207 may be major surface(s) of first-press 201 (e.g., as measured by surface area of first-press 201). In some embodiments, at least portions of first-press-surface 205 may removably contact the makeup (e.g., the broken-makeup 507). In some embodiments, handle 203 may attach to first-press 201 at at least one location of first-non-press-surface 207, see e.g., FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, and FIG. 2C. This at least one location of attachment may be about a geometric center of first-non-press-surface 207.
[0117]In some embodiments, first-press-surface 205 may be one or more of substantially: electrostatically neutral, smooth, flat, planar, rigid, semi-rigid, textured, combinations thereof, and/or the like. See e.g., FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, FIG. 2E, and FIG. 2F. Having a smooth, flat, planar, rigid, and/or semi-rigid characteristic of first-press-surface 205 may promote pressing and compacting of the makeup (such as against broken-makeup 507). Having an electrostatically neutral first-press-surface 205, may minimize such makeup “sticking” to first-press-surface 205 due to opposite electrical charges, as may otherwise occur in static electricity environments. In some embodiments, first-press-surface 205 or first-press 201 may be manufactured from a substantially electrostatically neutral material.
[0118]In some embodiments, first-press 201 may be defined and bound by a closed-perimeter 209. See e.g., FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, FIG. 2D, FIG. 2E, and FIG. 2F. In some embodiments, this closed-perimeter 209 may be substantially circular. In some embodiments, this closed-perimeter 209 may be substantially shaped as: a circle, a polygon, a parallelogram, a rectangle, a square; and/or the like. In some embodiments, this closed-perimeter 209 may be substantially shaped and sized to fit within a makeup pan 503 that may be holding the makeup (such as holding the broken-makeup 503). A shape and size of a given makeup pan 503 is predetermined and fixed. In some embodiments, the makeup pan 503 may have an opening shaped substantially as: a circle, an oval, a polygon, a parallelogram, a rectangle, a square, an irregular polygon, a polygon with rounded corners, a star shape, and/or the like. See e.g., FIG. 5A through FIG. 5E which may show a circular shaped opening to makeup pan 503. Note it is expressly contemplated that circular shaped makeup pan 503 shown in FIG. 5A through FIG. 5E may be replaced with a makeup pan 503 that is substantially shaped as a polygon, a parallelogram, a rectangle, a square, an irregular polygon, a polygon with rounded corners, a star shape, and/or the like; such that the shape of closed-perimeter 209 may fit concentrically within the shape of makeup pan 503.
[0119]In some embodiments, handle 203 may be one or more of substantially: an elongate member, a structural member, a rigid member, a semi-rigid member, a straight member, combinations thereof, and/or the like. See e.g., FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, and FIG. 2F. In some embodiments, handle 203 may be an elongate member that may extend substantially orthogonally from a major surface of first-press 201. See e.g., FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, and FIG. 2C. In some embodiments, such a major surface may be first-non-press-surface 207. In some embodiments, handle 203 may be substantially similar to handle 103 in structure, function, or both structure and function.
[0120]In some embodiments, handle 203 may be an elongate member that may comprise at least one slot 211. In some embodiments, at least one slot 211 may run along at least some of a length of handle 203. In some embodiments, at least one slot 211 may have a longitude that may be substantially parallel with a longitude of the elongate member of handle 203. See e.g., FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, and FIG. 2F.
[0121]In some embodiments, handle 203 may be an elongate member that may comprise two opposing slots 211. In some embodiments, these two opposing slots 211 may run along at least some of a length of handle 203. In some embodiments, these two opposing slots 211 each may have a longitude that may be substantially parallel with a longitude of the elongate member of handle 203. See e.g., FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, and FIG. 2F.
[0122]In some embodiments, slot(s) 211 may reduce material costs in manufacturing a given handle 203 because such slot(s) 211 allow for void space. In some embodiments, slot(s) 211 may function as structural ribs or girders for a given handle 203, providing increased rigidity to handle 203 that otherwise would be absent in a handle without such slot(s) 211. In some embodiments, slot(s) 211 may function to reduce shrinkage problems from cooling post injection molding of a given handle 203 that otherwise would be absent in a handle without such slot(s) 211.
[0123]In some embodiments, makeup-repair-tool 200 may comprise a second-press 213. In some embodiments, second-press 213 may be attached to handle 203. In some embodiments, second-press 213 may be for pressing against different makeup; i.e., makeup within a different sized makeup pan 503 as compared against a makeup pan 503 that receives first-press 201. In some embodiments, when a different force may be removably exerted upon handle 103, then second-press 213 may press against the different makeup within the different sized makeup pan 503. See e.g., FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, FIG. 2D, and FIG. 2F.
[0124]In some embodiments, second-press 213 may comprise a second-press-surface 215. See e.g., FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, and FIG. 2D. In some embodiments, second-press 213 may comprise a second-non-press-surface 217. See e.g., FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, and FIG. 2F. In some embodiments, second-press-surface 215 may be disposed opposite of second-non-press-surface 217. In some embodiments, second-press-surface 215 and/or second-non-press-surface 217 may be major surface(s) of second-press 213 (e.g., as measured by surface area of second-press 213). In some embodiments, at least portions of second-press-surface 215 may removably contact the different makeup. In some embodiments, handle 203 may attach to second-press 213 at at least one location of second-non-press-surface 217, see e.g., FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, and FIG. 2F. This at least one location of attachment may be about a geometric center of second-non-press-surface 217.
[0125]In some embodiments, second-press-surface 215 may be one or more of substantially: electrostatically neutral, smooth, flat, planar, rigid, semi-rigid, textured, combinations thereof, and/or the like. See e.g., FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, and FIG. 2D. Having a smooth, flat, planar, rigid, and/or semi-rigid characteristic of second-press-surface 215 may promote pressing of the different makeup (such as against broken-makeup 507 within the different sized makeup pan 503). Having an electrostatically neutral second-press-surface 215, may minimize such makeup “sticking” to second-press-surface 215 due to opposite electrical charges, as may otherwise occur in static electricity environments. In some embodiments, second-press-surface 215 or second-press 213 may be manufactured from a substantially electrostatically neutral material.
[0126]In some embodiments, second-press 213 may be defined and bound by a second-closed-perimeter 219. See e.g., FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, FIG. 2D, and FIG. 2F. In some embodiments, this second-closed-perimeter 219 may be substantially circular. In some embodiments, this second-closed-perimeter 219 may be substantially shaped as: a circle, a polygon, a parallelogram, a rectangle, a square; and/or the like. In some embodiments, this second-closed-perimeter 219 may be substantially shaped and sized to fit within the different sized makeup pan 503 that maybe holding the different makeup (such as holding different broken-makeup 503). A shape and size of a given makeup pan 503, including the different sized makeup pan 503, is predetermined. In some embodiments, this different sized makeup pan 503 may have an opening shaped substantially as: a circle, an oval, a polygon, a parallelogram, a rectangle, a square, an irregular polygon, a polygon with rounded corners, a star shape, and/or the like. See e.g., FIG. 5A through FIG. 5E which may show a circular shaped opening to a makeup pan 503. In some embodiments, the different sized makeup pan 503 may be smaller than the makeup pan 503 shown in FIG. 5A through FIG. 5E.

For example, and without limiting the scope of the present invention, when closed-perimeter 209 may be substantially square shaped or squarish, dimension-of-first-press 221 may be may correspond to a length of a side of closed-perimeter 209. In some embodiments, second-press 213 may comprise a dimension-of-second-press 223a. See e.g., FIG. 2D. For example, and without limiting the scope of the present invention, when second closed-perimeter 219 may be substantially as a parallelogram or a rectangle, dimension-of-second-press 223a may be a longer length of a longer side of second-closed-perimeter 219. In some embodiments, second-press 213 may comprise a dimension-of-second-press 223b. See e.g., FIG. 2D. For example, and without limiting the scope of the present invention, when second closed-perimeter 219 may be substantially as a parallelogram or a rectangle, dimension-of-second-press 223b may be a shorter length (e.g., a width) of a shorter side of second-closed-perimeter 219. In some embodiments, dimension-of-first-press 221 may be larger (longer) than dimension-of-second-press 223a. In some embodiments, dimension-of-first-press 221 may be larger (longer) than dimension-of-second-press 223b. In some embodiments, dimension-of-second-press 223a may be larger (longer) than dimension-of-second-press 223b. In some embodiments, a ratio of dimension-of-first-press 221 to dimension-of-second-press 223a may be substantially 1.22. In some embodiments, a ratio of dimension-of-first-press 221 to dimension-of-second-press 223a may be substantially from 0.95 to 1.55. In some embodiments, a ratio of dimension-of-first-press 221 to dimension-of-second-press 223b may be substantially 2.32. In some embodiments, a ratio of dimension-of-first-press 221 to dimension-of-second-press 223b may be substantially from 2.00 to 2.55.
[0128]In some embodiments, makeup-repair-tool 200 may comprise handle 203, first-press 201, and second-press 213. In some embodiments, handle 203 may be a structural elongate member with two opposing terminal ends. In some embodiments, each respective terminal end may be attached to a given press, such as first-press 201 and second-press 213, respectively. In some embodiments, longitude of handle 203 may be substantially orthogonal with respect to major surfaces of both first-press 201 (e.g., first-press-surface 205 and/or first-non-press-surface 207) and of second-press 213 (e.g., second-press-surface 215 and/or second-non-press-surface 217). In some embodiments, handle 203, first-press 201, and second-press 213 may be as described above and as shown in FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, FIG. 2D, FIG. 2E, and FIG. 2F.
[0129]In some embodiments, makeup-repair-tool 200 may comprise handle 203, first-press 201, and second-press 213. In some embodiments, handle 203 may be integral with both first-press 201 and with second-press 213. In some embodiments, makeup-repair-tool 200 with handle 203, first-press 201, and second-press 213 may be manufactured as a single integral article of manufacture. For example, and without limiting the scope of the present invention, makeup-repair-tool 200 may be substantially manufactured via injection molding, 3D printing, and/or the like.
[0130]In some embodiments, the various presses, such as first-press 201 and second-press 213 may be substantially shaped as flattened rectangular prisms. See e.g., FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, FIG. 2D, FIG. 2E, and FIG. 2F.
[0131]FIG. 3 may depict a perspective view of a spatula 300. In some embodiments, spatula 300 may be used for scraping and/or returning broken-makeup 507 (e.g., such as fragment-of-makeup 505) that may fallen out of makeup pan 503 back into makeup pan 503. In some embodiments, spatula 300 may be used for smoothing out broken-makeup 507, prior to such broken-makeup 507 being removably pressed with a given makeup-repair-tool 100 or 200.
[0132]In some embodiments, spatula 300 may be one or more of substantially: electrostatically neutral, smooth, flat, planar, rigid, semi-rigid, textured, straight, a planar elongate member, a flattened elongate member, a structural member, combinations thereof, and/or the like. See e.g., FIG. 3, FIG. 5A, FIG. 5C, and FIG. 5D. In some embodiments, having a smooth, flat, planar, rigid, and/or semi-rigid characteristic of spatula 300 may promote gathering and/or scraping of fragment-of-makeup 505 back into makeup pan 503. See e.g., FIG. 5A. In some embodiments, having a smooth, flat, planar, rigid, and/or semi-rigid characteristic of spatula 300 may assist with testing a consistency of broken-makeup 507. See e.g., FIG. 5C. In some embodiments, having a smooth, flat, planar, rigid, and/or semi-rigid characteristic of spatula 300 may assist with smoothing broken-makeup 507. See e.g., FIG. 5D. In some embodiments, having an electrostatically neutral spatula 300, may minimize such makeup “sticking” to spatula 300 due to opposite electrical charges, as may otherwise occur in static electricity environments. In some embodiments, spatula 300 may be manufactured from a substantially electrostatically neutral material.
[0133]FIG. 4A may depict steps in a method 400 for repairing makeup. In some embodiments, method 400 may comprise the steps of: step 405, step 410, and step 435. In some embodiments, step 410 may follow step 405. See e.g., FIG. 4A. In some embodiments, step 435 may follow step 410 (although not always directly, i.e., in some embodiments, other steps may be disposed between step 410 and step 435). In some embodiments, method 400 may begin at step 410.
[0134]In some embodiments, step 405 may be a step of preparing makeup pan 503 to receive at least some broken makeup 507. In some embodiments, step 405 may entail using spatula 300 to scrape and/or gather fragment-of-makeup 505 residing outside of makeup pan 503 back into makeup pan 503. See e.g., FIG. 4A and FIG. 5A.
[0135]In some embodiments, step 410 may be a step of dispensing at least some repair-mousse 513 onto the at least some broken makeup 507 (that in some embodiments, may be located within the makeup pan 503). In some embodiments, step 410 may entail covering broken-makeup 507 (within makeup pan 503) with repair-mousse 513. In some embodiments, step 410 may entail “wetting” broken-makeup 507 (within makeup pan 503) with repair-mousse 513. See e.g., FIG. 4A and FIG. 5B.
[0136]In some embodiments, step 435 may be a step of pressing the at least some broken makeup 507 within the makeup pan 503 using makeup-repair-tool 100 (or 200). Makeup-repair-tool 100 or 200 should be selected to match a size and shape of the given makeup pan 503. In some embodiments, the broken-makeup 507 to be pressed with makeup-repair-tool 100 or 200 in step 435 may have already been treated with makeup-mousse 513 in step 410. See e.g., FIG. 4A and FIG. 5E. In some embodiments, step 435 may be a final step in method 400.
[0137]FIG. 4B may depict steps of method 450 for repairing makeup. Method 450 may provide for some additional steps as compared against method 400. In some embodiments, method 450 may comprise steps 405 and 410 as noted above. In some embodiments, method 450 may further comprise step 415. In some embodiments, step 415 may follow step 410. In some embodiments, step 415 may be a step of waiting for repair-mousse 513 has adsorbed into the broken-makeup 507. In some embodiments, this wa
