Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the applicators for applying a product to the eyelashes and / or the eyebrows, and more particularly to the applicators comprising an applicator member comprising a core and application elements which connect to the core.
  • These application elements which are generally called bristles or teeth as they are more or less rigid, can be made in one piece with the core, in particular by molding of material.
  • Such application members are called combs or injected brushes.
  • the bristles are connected substantially perpendicularly to the core and are relatively short, because the applicator member must generally be able to cross without much difficulty a wiper member equipping the container containing the product.
  • the short length of the application elements and their orientation can limit the amount of product deposited on the eyelashes.
  • the application of the product can be carried out with ends of hair or teeth slightly loaded product because strongly dewatered.
  • Short hairs tend to be stiffer and perform a more vigorous brushing, tending to take the product deposited on the eyelashes.

  • the subject of the invention is an applicator for applying a product to the eyelashes and / or the eyebrows, comprising an applicator member, this applicator member comprising a core and elements of application connecting to the soul.
