Abstract

Double brush mascara applicator tongs having a carrying case with a mascara reservoir incorporated therein. The double brush applicator tongs are of one-piece construction and made of resilient material such that the brush members may receive eyelashes therebetween. The natural resilience of the material keeps the brush-holding arms of the tongs apart while not in use. A user need only press the arms together in order to catch the eyelashes between the brushes so as to apply mascara or other make-up material to be applied. Mascara brush-on and eyelash curling may be effected through the novel advantages of the inventive device.
