Claim:
An eye shadow applicator, comprising: a bundle of bristles aligned in parallel along an axis and having a proximal end secured to a handle by a surrounding collar member and a distal end having a concave, arcuate shape with respect to a length of the bundle of bristles that is orthogonal to said parallel axis of the bristle bundle, said concave shape being substantially complementary to a maximum length vertically oriented arc defined by a closed eyelid, and wherein said concave, arcuate shape is asymmetrical such that one end of said bristle bundle is longer than an opposite end with respect to the parallel axis of the bristle bundle, and wherein said longer end includes a tapered end means for applying eye shadow to corners of a closed eyelid, wherein said collar member surrounding said proximal end of said bristle bundle includes a collar protrusion that stiffens the longer end of the bristle bundle.
