1. An eyelash separator, comprising:
a housing having an internal storage cavity on a top of the housing aligned with a pivot plane orthogonal to a pivot axis of a hinge member;
a pin coupled with the hinge member and pivotable along the pivot plane between a closed position and a plurality of open positions, the pin having a substantially cylindrical shaft terminating in a tip,
wherein the pin is contained within the storage cavity of the housing in a closed position and deployed from the storage cavity in the plurality of open positions;
a projection disposed on the hinge member, the projection extending, in the closed position, vertically outwardly from the top of the housing and laterally outwardly from the hinge member and pin coupled thereto, wherein the pin is pivotable between the closed position and the plurality of open positions by force applied to the projection; and
an internal mechanism including a spring arranged to apply force to a bearing in a direction substantially orthogonal to the pivot plane of the hinge member, to engage the bearing with one or more complementary holes or depressions disposed on an internal portion of the hinge member, the one or complementary holes or depressions releasably engaging with the bearing to locate the hinge member in at least one of the plurality of open positions.
