A method and product for reducing reflected light glare into a human's eye from the human's cheeks while simultaneously providing a non-verbal communication to others is provided, especially for use by participants in athletic contests. Underneath the human's eyes on the cheeks at a reflective location on the cheeks at which incident direct or indirect light is likely to be reflected into a human's eye, a non-toxic, non-reflective colored and finished material in the form of a predefined clearly demarcated geometric shape is applied. Within a week after the application (typically within less than a few hours after the athletic contest is over) the non-reflective material is removed. The non-reflective material may comprise eye black, applied using a stencil, or it may comprise a temporary tattoo or decal, applied in the conventional manner. The shape preferably is a sports apparel or equipment manufacturer's or distributor's logo and/or letters, or a team name, mascot or logo. The material is preferably black or dark colored, and any non-black or non-dark colored portions providing demarcation between elements of the shape comprises a dull or matte color having a wavelength of greater than about 650 nm and less than about 470 nm.

L'invention porte sur un procédé et un produit réduisant l'éclat de la lumière réfléchie par les joues qui frappe l'oeil, tout en permettant simultanément une communication non verbale avec des tiers, et s'adressant particulièrement aux participants d'une compétition sportive. On applique à cette fin sur la partie de la joue située sous l'oeil et censée réfléchir dans l'oeil de la lumière directe ou indirecte, un matériau coloré non toxique et fini, de forme géométrique nettement démarquée, qu'on retire dans la semaine et normalement dans les heures suivant la compétition. Le matériau non réfléchissant peut consister en khôl appliqué au crayon ou un tatouage ou une décalque temporaire appliqués de manière usuelle. La forme est celle du logo ou des initiales d'un fabricant ou distributeur d'articles de sport ou le nom d'une équipe ou, une mascotte. Le matériau est de préférence noir ou sombre et ses parties non noires ou claires délimitant sa forme sont de couleur matte ou terne d'une longueur d'onde supérieure à environ 650 nm et inférieure à environ 470 nm.
