Definitions

  • the present invention relates to applicators intended for applying a cosmetic product, including care, to keratinous fibers, in particular eyelashes or eyebrows.
  • the invention aims in particular to meet all or part of the aforementioned needs.
  • the surface irregularity in particular the protruding portion, may present at at least one location a radius of curvature different from a radius of curvature of one said portions, in particular a lower radius of curvature, and may be defined by a fold of the strip, or by an edge of the strip, for example.
  • the application elements present at the level of the surface irregularity, in particular the protruding part, can be used to make a first make-up and the application elements carried by the other portions can be used to make a different make-up.
  • the portions separated by the surface irregularity, in particular the protruding part, may have different radii of curvature or not.
  • the strip may have, in at least one location, a radius of curvature less than or equal to 5 mm, in particular less than or equal to 4 mm, 3 mm, 2 mm or 1 mm.

  • the small radius of curvature of the strip may in particular cause a row of application elements to separate between which eyelashes can be easily engaged, in particular to be separated.
  • the applicator may be made for example in such a way that the strip has on the one hand at least one substantially flat face, or curved relatively large radius of curvature, especially greater than 2 mm, and secondly at least one edge or a fold.
  • the substantially planar or convex face may be used to load the product eyelashes while the edge or pleat applicator elements may be used to separate the eyelashes or smooth the product on their surface.
