Patent ID: 8622063

Claim:
A method for producing a lip substrate applicator, said method comprising: providing a guide layer having a bond face and a guide face; marking a guide pattern on said guide face, said guide pattern visibly defining a multiplicity of curved trim paths; printing a lip substrate onto said bond face, said lip substrate having a first face and a second face, said second face being directly adjacent said bond face; applying an adhesive layer to said first face; covering said adhesive layer with a peel layer; and die-cutting through said guide layer, said lip substrate, said adhesive layer and said peel layer, thereby forming an applicator being flexible and having an edge extending between a right end and a left end, said curved trim paths extending from proximate said right end to proximate said left end, said edge being generally arcuate, substantially symmetrical about an axis, and having a concave portion substantially symmetrical about said axis, each of said curved trim paths being substantially symmetrical about said axis and curved in the same direction as said edge.
