wherein the outermost tuft groups of the plurality of tuft groups each taper outward as they extend from the ferrule, and wherein a terminus of each of the outermost tuft groups is wider that a terminus of each of the inner tuft groups.
2. The makeup brush of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of tuft groups includes at least a first pair of tuft groups and a second pair of tuft groups, wherein a length of the first pair of tuft groups measured from the forward end of the ferrule to a terminus of the first pair of tuft groups is greater than a length of the second pair of tuft groups measured from the forward end of the ferrule to a terminus of the second pair of tuft groups.
3. The makeup brush of claim 2 , further comprising a third pair of tuft groups, where each tuft group of the third pair of tuft groups is located between a tuft group of the first and second pairs of tuft groups.
4. The makeup brush of claim 2 , wherein the first pair of tuft groups is an outer pair and the second pair of tuft groups is an inner pair.
5. The makeup brush of claim 1 , wherein a gap is located between each of the plurality of tuft groups.
6. The makeup brush of claim 1 , wherein a width of the brush portion measured from outer extremes of the outermost tuft groups is between about 1 cm and about 3 cm.
7. The makeup brush of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the tuft groups of the plurality of tuft groups is tapered at its working end such that an outer portion extends further from the ferrule than an inner portion.
8. The makeup brush of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of tuft groups includes at least a first pair of tuft groups and a second pair of tuft groups, wherein the first pair of tuft groups includes the outermost tuft groups, and wherein the each tuft group of the second pair of tuft groups is parallel to a longitudinal direction of a handle of the makeup brush.
9. A makeup brush, the makeup brush comprising:
a brush portion secured to a forward end of a ferrule,
wherein the brush portion includes at least two pairs of tuft groups, a first pair being an outer pair and a second pair being an inner pair, and
wherein a length of the first pair of tuft groups measured from the forward end of the ferrule to a terminus of the first pair of tuft groups is greater than a length of the second pair of tuft groups measured from the forward end of the ferrule to a terminus of the second pair of tuft groups,
wherein each tuft group of the first pair of tuft groups tapers outward as it extends from the ferrule, and
wherein the terminus of the first pair of tuft groups is wider than the terminus of the second pair of tuft groups.
10. The makeup brush of claim 9 , wherein the at least two pairs of tuft groups form a concave profile at a working end of the brush portion, the concave profile configured to match the profile of human eyelashes.
11. The makeup brush of claim 9 , further comprising a third pair of tuft groups, where each tuft group of the third pair of tuft groups is located between a respective tuft group of the first and second pairs of tuft groups.
12. The makeup brush of claim 11 , wherein a length of the third pair of tuft groups measured from the forward end of the ferrule to a terminus of the third pair of tuft groups is greater than the length of the second pair of tuft groups.
13. The makeup brush of claim 9 , wherein a gap is located between each adjacent tuft group of the at least two pairs of tuft groups.
14. The makeup brush of claim 9 , wherein a width of the brush portion measured from outer extremes of the tuft groups of the first pair of tuft groups is between about 1 cm and about 3 cm.
15. The makeup brush of claim 9 , wherein at least one tuft group of the at least two pairs of tuft groups is tapered at its working end such that an outer portion extends further from the ferrule than an inner portion.
16. The makeup brush of claim 9 , wherein the each tuft group of the second pair of tuft groups is parallel to a longitudinal direction of a handle of the makeup brush.
17. A method for forming a makeup brush, the method comprising:
forming a brush portion secured to a forward end of a ferrule,
wherein the brush portion includes a plurality of tuft groups comprising inner tuft groups located between two outermost tuft groups, each tuft group formed by a plurality of bristles,
wherein the tuft groups form a concave profile on a working end of the makeup brush, the concave profile configured to match the profile of human eyelashes, and
wherein the outermost tuft groups of the plurality of tuft groups each fan outward as they extend from the ferrule, and wherein a terminus of each of the outermost tuft groups is wider that a terminus of each of the inner tuft groups.
18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the plurality of tuft groups includes at least a first pair of tuft groups and a second pair of tuft groups, wherein a length of the first pair of tuft groups measured from the forward end of the ferrule to a terminus of the first pair of tuft groups is greater than a length of the second pair of tuft groups measured from the forward end of the ferrule to a terminus of the second pair of tuft groups.
19. The method of claim 18 , further comprising a third pair of tuft groups, where each tuft group of the third pair of tuft groups is located between a tuft group of the first and second pairs of tuft groups.
20. The method of claim 18 , wherein the first pair of tuft groups is an outer pair and the second pair of tuft groups is an inner pair wherein the plurality of tuft groups includes at least a first pair of tuft groups and a second pair of tuft groups, wherein the first pair of tuft groups includes the outermost tuft groups, and wherein the each tuft group of the second pair of tuft groups is parallel to a longitudinal direction of a handle of the makeup brush.
