Artificial eyelashes using lace materials

1 . An artificial eyelash extension system comprising:

a support strip including at least one layer of lace material, wherein the lace material has a top edge and a bottom edge opposite the top edge, and wherein the support strip has a front side and a back side opposite the front side; and

a plurality of eyelash filaments, each having a root and a tip, coupled to the at least one layer of lace material at the root, wherein

the top edge and the bottom edge of the lace material are substantially parallel to each other;

the plurality of eyelash filaments comprises two distinct layers of eyelash filaments, a first layer being attached directly to a front side of the lace material and a second layer being attached directly to an opposite back side of the lace material, such that the lace material is interposed between the two layers, the two layers extending in different orientations relative to the lace material.

2 . The artificial eyelash extension system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of eyelash filaments are coupled to the at least one layer of lace material by the roots of the plurality of eyelash filaments knotted to the at least one layer of lace material.

3 . The artificial eyelash extension system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of eyelash filaments are coupled to the at least one layer of lace material by the roots of the plurality of eyelash filaments glued to the at least one layer of lace material.

4 . The artificial eyelash extension system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of eyelash filaments are coupled to the at least one layer of lace material by the roots of the plurality of eyelash filaments heat fused to the at least one layer of lace material.

5 . The artificial eyelash extension system of claim 1 , wherein the roots of the plurality of eyelash filaments are coupled to the at least one layer of lace material along at least one of the bottom edge and the top edge of the lace material.

6 . The artificial eyelash extension system of claim 1 , wherein the back side of the support strip is adapted to affix to a user's eyelid.

7 . The artificial eyelash extension system of claim 6 , wherein the support strip is adapted to affix near or at where a user's natural eyelashes meet the user's eyelid on either a top side or underside of the user's natural eyelashes.

8 . The artificial eyelash extension system of claim 1 , wherein a color of the lace material is selected to match a user's skin tone.

9 . The artificial eyelash extension system of claim 1 , wherein a color of the lace material is transparent or translucent.

10 . The artificial eyelash extension system of claim 1 , wherein the lace material comprises a fabric composed of individual threads in an open web-like pattern.

11 . The artificial eyelash extension system of claim 1 , wherein said support strip excludes material other than lace material.

12 . The artificial eyelash extension system of claim 1 , wherein said support strip is adapted to be cut by an end user at an arbitrary location.

13 . The artificial eyelash extension system of claim 1 , wherein said lace material comprises lace material having variable strand thickness.

14 . The artificial eyelash extension system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of eyelash filaments are coupled to the lace material at various distances from the top edge of the lace material.

15 . The artificial eyelash extension system of claim 14 , wherein the plurality of eyelash filaments can be repositioned on the support strip.
