Description

The present invention relates to an applicator for applying a cosmetic product, makeup or care, on the eyelashes, eyebrows and / or eyelids, for example mascara. The invention also relates to devices comprising a container, containing the product to be applied and provided with a wiper member, and the applicator. Application FR 2 961 384 discloses an applicator comprising teeth extending for less than one half-turn around the longitudinal axis of the core. Such an applicator is particularly suitable for relatively short eyelashes or eyebrows, the shape of the applicator member allowing access closer to the eyelid.

There is a need to further improve the applicators for the application of a product, especially mascara, on eyelashes and / or eyelids, in order to improve their performance, and more particularly to promote the creation on the body of the eyelids. application of more product-laden areas, which allow easy makeup and fast and abundant lash loading, while maintaining a high lash separation capacity. There is also a need to benefit from an applicator to achieve new effects of makeup on the eyes. According to one of its aspects, the subject of the invention is an applicator for applying a cosmetic, make-up or care product to the eyelashes, the eyebrows and / or the eyelids, comprising a molded application member comprising a core extending along a longitudinal axis, spikes carried by the core and extending from the core, and an elongate application element along the longitudinal axis of the core, extending over less than the length of the core, an applicator in which the applicator member is free of pins projecting orthogonally on the elongated application element, or in which at least one pin projects orthogonally onto the element elongated application such that the top of the elongate application element is further from the longitudinal axis of the core than the free end of the projection of said pin. The invention makes it possible to obtain, on the applicator member, in particular along the elongate application element, at least one reservoir zone, which provides, after spinning, a surplus of product. The latter allows, from the first application, a significant and satisfactory load of product eyelashes.

In particular, a point overload of product may be deposited at the inner base of the eyelashes because the elongated application member is free of any pin or is higher than the pins adjacent thereto. The user can make up the base of the upper lashes underneath by using the elongated application element, in order to obtain the effect of an eyeliner. Indeed, the elongate application member not substantially deforming the passage of the wiper member of the container in which the applicator is immersed, product still remains on the elongated application member. The eyelash fringe of the user can come to rest on the latter and the user can use the elongated application element to tap under the inner base of the upper lashes. The pins can then be used to spread the product and to comb the eyelashes. In addition, the user can directly make a line of eyeliner on his eyelids using the elongated application element. By "longitudinal axis of the soul" is meant the line joining the set of centroids of the cross sections of the soul. The longitudinal axis may be a central axis, or even an axis of symmetry for the core, especially when the core has a circular cross section or in the general shape of a regular polygon. The longitudinal axis of the core may be rectilinear or curved and may be contained in a plane, which may be a plane of symmetry for some or all cross sections of the soul. Preferably, the longitudinal axis of the core is rectilinear. By "pin" is meant an individualizable protruding member for engagement with the eyelashes. By "top of the elongated application member" is meant a point on the free edge of the elongated applicator member located at the greatest distance from the base of the elongated applicator member through which it is connected. to the core, said distance being measured perpendicular to the core. Elongated Application Element The elongate application element may extend for less than three-quarters of the length of the core, more preferably less than half the length of the core. The elongated applicator member may extend in a plane containing the longitudinal axis of the core or parallel thereto. When at least one pin projects orthogonally on the elongate application member, the height of the orthogonal projection of this pin on the elongate application member is advantageously less than the maximum height of the elongate application member. , being in particular less than half of the maximum height of the elongate application element. The maximum height of the elongate applicator member may be greater than the average height of the nubs, along the portion of the core carrying the elongate applicator member. The average height of the spikes is calculated by the arithmetic mean of all the spike heights. By "maximum height of the elongated application element" is meant the distance measured perpendicularly to the web between the apex of the free edge of the elongated application element and its base through which it is connected to the web. . By "height of a pin" is meant the distance measured along the axis of elongation of the pin between its free end and its base by which it is connected to the soul. By "axis of elongation of the pin" is meant an axis that passes through the centroids of the cross sections of the pin.

In particular, when spikes project orthogonally onto the elongated applicator element, the maximum height of the elongated applicator element, along the portion of the core carrying the elongated applicator element, is preferably greater at the highest height of the pimples. This allows for a larger stock of product to be applied to the base of the eyelashes, the elongated applicator element being largely detached from the pins and thus being easily accessible during application. The ratio between the maximum height of the elongate application element and the greatest height of the pins may be between 0.5 and 1.5, better still between 0.8 and 1.2. The height of the elongated applicator element may be constant over its entire length. Preferably, the height of the elongated applicator element is variable. The height of the elongate applicator member may increase from its distal end to the top of its free edge, and then decrease to its proximal end. The height of the elongate applicator element at its distal end may be non-zero. The maximum height of the elongate applicator member may be between 2 mm and 5 mm, more preferably between 3 mm and 4 mm. The point of the elongate applicator element furthest from the longitudinal axis of the core may be a single point. In a variant, the free edge of the elongated application element extends over a segment that is not reduced to a point at the same maximum distance from the longitudinal axis of the core. The maximum thickness of the elongate application member may be between 0.2 mm and 1.5 mm, more preferably between 0.4 mm and 1 mm.

The elongate application element is preferably much higher than thick, especially between 4 and 7 times higher than thick. The elongated application element also advantageously has a tapered profile towards its free edge, when observed along the longitudinal axis of the core. The thickness of the elongate application element can thus decrease towards its free edge, for a given axial position on the longitudinal axis of the applicator member. The length of the elongated applicator element may be between 10 mm and 14 mm. The top of the elongate applicator member may be located at a distance, measured along the longitudinal axis of the core, from the distal end of the core of between one quarter and one half of the total length of the soul, being in particular equal to one third of the length of the soul. The elongate applicator element is preferably closer to the distal end of the core than to its proximal end. The distal end of the elongated applicator element may be distant from the distal end of the core, along the longitudinal axis of the core, in particular by a distance of between 0.2 mm and 0.7 mm. mm. Alternatively, the elongated applicator member extends around the nose of the core, in the plane along which the elongate applicator member extends. The elongated applicator element may thus comprise at its distal end a rounded portion, preferably of the same thickness as the remainder of the elongated application element, extending around the nose of the core, according to the plane according to which elongate application member extends. The elongated application element can thus protrude longitudinally from the distal end of the core over a distance, measured along the longitudinal axis of the core, which is non-zero, being for example between 0.1 mm and 0.5 mm.

The elongate applicator member may have rounded edges at its distal and proximal ends, thus being free of right angles at its ends. This reduces the risk of snagging when using the applicator, and improves the comfort of application. The elongate applicator member may be offset from the longitudinal axis of the core, i.e., the distance between the plane in which the elongate applicator member extends and the longitudinal axis of the soul, is non-zero. The elongated application element may have a general shape of a fin, more or less high and more or less rounded. The top of the elongated applicator member may be closer to its proximal end than its distal end, along the longitudinal axis of the core.

The elongated application element can also have the wildlife of an arch. The elongated application element may in this case consist of an arched element connected at both ends to the core. In this case, it is considered that the projection of the pins is performed on the elongate application element when it is carried out in the hollow of the arch, under the arched element.

The elongate applicator element is preferably molded with the core in the same material. The core, the pins and the elongate application member may be molded from the same material, or alternatively may be made of at least two different materials. A part of the core, the pins and the elongate application element may for example be made in a first material, and another part of the core, the pins and the elongate application element may be made in a second material, for example more flexible or harder than the first. The core is for example formed of one or more thermoplastics, which may be elastomeric. The core and / or the pins and / or the elongate application element may be made of an elastomeric material, thermoplastic, thermosetting, metal or ceramic. In exemplary embodiments of the invention, the pins and / or the elongated application element are made by molding or overmolding with the core. The pins and / or the elongate application element may, for example, be made by a technique in which there is injection of a material through at least a portion of the core, so as to allow the formation of pins and / or the elongate application element.

In a variant, the elongated application element may be attached to the core. In this case, the core may comprise two parts, one of these parts carrying the elongate application element. The elongated applicator element can be flocked. This allows to retain more product on its surface and its free edge and better apply the line of eyeliner, if any. Pimples The applicator member may comprise several longitudinal rows of pins extending along the longitudinal axis of the core. The application member may comprise between 3 and 10 longitudinal rows of pins, better between 4 and 7 longitudinal rows of pins. The longitudinal rows of pins may each include the same number of pins. In a variant, the longitudinal rows of pins comprise a different number of pins from one row to another. Each longitudinal row of pins may have between 10 and 20 pins, better between 14 and 20 pins. The difference between a pin of a longitudinal row and the adjacent pin of the consecutive longitudinal row may be between 0.5 mm and 1.1 mm, being for example equal to 0.8 mm. The height of at least one pin, measured from the core, may be between 0.2 mm and 5 mm. The height of the spikes can vary, for example monotonically, as one moves along the longitudinal axis of the core, within a longitudinal row 25 and / or from one row to another . For example, as one moves along the longitudinal axis of the core, the height of the pins may increase, within a row, between the proximal end of the core and a first abscissa, and then stay substantially constant between this first abscissa and a second abscissa, then decrease between this second abscissa and the distal end of the soul. The pins may differ from one another by at least their shape, thickness, height, orientation, color and / or material.

The free ends of the pins of the applicator member and the free edge of the elongate application element define an envelope surface of the applicator member, which is for example cylindrical of revolution on at least part of its part. length. This envelope surface may have various shapes, longitudinal axis rectilinear or not. The envelope surface may, if appropriate, extend along a longitudinal axis forming a non-zero angle with the longitudinal axis of the core. The envelope surface may have a cross section that varies over all or part of the length of the applicator member.

Some pins of the applicator, or all the pins, may have a thickness measured at their base, that is to say at the point of connection of the pins to the core, between 0.2 and 1.2 mm, even between 0.4 and 0.8 mm. By "thickness of a pin" is meant the largest transverse dimension of the pin, in section, perpendicular to the axis of elongation of the pin. This is a diameter when the pin is generally conical. The pimples can be of any shape. The pins may have a cylindrical or tapered shape, especially conical, frustoconical or pyramidal. At least one pin may be terminated by a rounded free end, particularly hemispherical. At least one pin may extend from the core along an axis of elongation perpendicular to the surface of the core at the point of connection of the pin to the core. Preferably, all the pins extend from the core along an axis of elongation perpendicular to the surface of the core, at the point of connection of the pins to the core. Alternatively, the pin elongation axis may form an angle different from 90 ° with the web surface at the point of connection of the pins to the core. The applicator may comprise between 30 and 200 pins, for example between 50 and 130 pins. Applicator The applicator may comprise a rod carrying at one end the applicator member and being fixed at a second end to a gripping member. The core may be solid, for example being molded with an attachment end to the applicator shaft. By "soul length" is meant the length of the apparent portion of the core, after fixation in the rod, not including the attachment end. This length corresponds to the apparent length of the application member. A shoulder may be provided between the core and the attachment end, to limit the insertion of the applicator member into the rod. The applicator member may be fixed on the rod by snapping, gluing, welding, crimping, stamping, stapling, forced insertion, cold or hot, for example by mounting in a housing of the rod. Alternatively, the rod can be received in a housing provided in the core. The rod and the applicator member may also be molded in one piece, in the same thermoplastic material or not.

The pins and / or the elongated application element may be made of a material more or less rigid than a material used to make the rod of the applicator to which the core is connected. The applicator member may comprise a mounting piece integrally molded with the core, which may optionally include one or more narrowed portions to improve applicator flexibility and flexibility. application. The core may extend along a longitudinal axis making at least one point of its length an angle with the longitudinal axis of the rod to which is fixed the core. The applicator member may be bent at its connection to the rod. The rod may comprise a first portion, rigid, extended disc side 20 by a second portion, more flexible, for example elastomer, carrying the applicator member. A larger transverse dimension of the core may be smaller, greater than or equal to a larger transverse dimension of the shaft. The largest transverse dimension of the core may be between 1 mm and 5 mm. The core may have a cross section, taken perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, of circular or non-circular shape, for example hexagonal. The soul may have a nose at its distal end. The nose of the distal end of the soul may be a portion of a sphere. The nose of the core may comprise one or more recesses, facilitating the passage of the applicator through the wiper member of the container. The apparent length of the applicator member may be between 15 mm and 30 mm.

The gripping member of the applicator may constitute a cap fel clear net of the container. The container may comprise a wiper member adapted to dewater the rod and the applicator member. The product is preferably a mascara.

The invention also relates to an eye makeup process, in which a device according to the invention is used. This process may comprise steps in which: - the product is applied to the eyelashes and / or the eyebrows and these are combed using the pins of the applicator member, and - the application element is used elongated application member to deposit the product and draw a line on the eyelid. The features set forth above for the applicator apply to the device and method.

The invention will be better understood on reading the following detailed description of nonlimiting examples of implementation thereof, and on examining the appended drawing, in which: FIG. 1 is a schematic view in elevation, with partial longitudinal section, of an exemplary packaging and application device produced in accordance with the invention; - Figure 2 represents, in perspective, the applicator member of FIG. FIG. 3 is a front view of the applicator member of FIG. 2; FIG. 4 is a schematic and incomplete cross-sectional view of an alternative embodiment of an applicator member according to FIG. FIG. 5 is a top view of the application member of FIG. 2; FIGS. 6 to 8 are diagrammatic views of alternative embodiments of an elongate application element according to the invention; taken in isolation, FIG. 9 is a schematic and incomplete view, on the side, of an alternative embodiment of the elongated applicator element, where the pins are not shown, - Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view of the core and the elongate application member taken in isolation, representing an alternative embodiment, and FIG. 11 represents an example of use of the applicator according to the invention. FIG. 1 shows a device 1 for packaging and application 10 made according to the invention, comprising an applicator 2 and an associated container 3 containing a product P to be applied to the eyelashes and / or the eyelids, for example mascara or a care product. The container 3 comprises, in the example considered, a threaded neck 4 and the applicator 2 comprises a closing cap 5 arranged to be fixed on the neck 4 in order to close the container 3 in a sealed manner in the absence of use, the closure cap 5 also constituting a gripping member for the applicator 2. The applicator 2 comprises a rod 7 of longitudinal axis Y, which is connected at its upper end to the closure cap 5 and at its end lower, to an applicator member 8. The latter comprises a core 10 carrying pins 18 extending from the core 10. The container 3 also comprises a wiper member 6, for example inserted into the neck 4. This wiper member 6, which may be arbitrary, comprises in the example in question a lip arranged to dewater the rod 7 and the applicator member 8 when the applicator 2 is removed from the container 3. The lip defines a wiper orifice 6a in diameter adapted to that of the stem. In the example shown, the rod 7 has a circular cross section but it is not beyond the scope of the present invention when the rod 7 has a different section, the attachment of the cap 5 on the container 3 can then be performed otherwise than by screwing, if necessary. The wiper member 6 is adapted to the shape of the rod 7 and that of the applicator member 8, where appropriate.

It preferably and as in the example considered, the longitudinal axis Y of the rod 7 is rectilinear and coincides with the longitudinal axis of the container 3 when the applicator 2 is in place on it, but it does not go out of the present invention when the rod 7 is non-rectilinear, forming for example a bend.

The rod 7 may comprise, where appropriate, an annular necking on its portion which is positioned opposite the lip of the wiper member 6, so as not to mechanically stress it excessively during storage. Fixing the applicator member 8 on the rod 7 can be done by any means and in particular be done by force fitting, latching, gluing, welding stapling or crimping, in a corresponding housing provided at the end of the rod 7. The applicator member 8 may comprise, as shown in Figure 2, a nozzle 9 for fixing it in a corresponding housing of the rod 7, possibly in a marked manner. A shoulder may be provided between the core 10 and the attachment piece 9. The length of the end piece 9 may be between 6 mm and 9 mm. Alternatively, the rod 7 can be inserted into a housing provided in the core 10. The core 10 can be made in one piece by molding material with the rod 7. Referring to Figure 2, sees that the core 10 is of elongate shape along a longitudinal axis X, which is rectilinear in the example described.

As in the example, the core 10 may have a circular cross-section over most of its length. The longitudinal axis X may be central, as illustrated. Other forms in section are however possible. Thus, in the variant of Figure 10, the core 10 has a hexagonal cross section. As seen in Figures 2, 3 and 5 in particular, the core 10 has a nose 16 at its distal end 12, which is a sphere portion in the example described, but may have a different shape. The nose 16 of the core 10 comprises in the example in question three recesses 16a. The nose 16 of the core 10 has, in the example considered, a larger cross section greater than the largest cross section of the core 10 elsewhere, the largest cross section Sn of the nose 16 being for example between 2 , 6 mm and 3.3 mm, and the largest cross section S of the core 10 elsewhere being for example between 2 mm and 3 mm.

The apparent length H of the applicator member 8 can be between 22 mm and 30 mm, being equal to about 26 mm in the example illustrated. The applicator member 8 comprises several longitudinal rows of pins 18 extending along the longitudinal axis X of the core 10. In the example described, the applicator member 8 comprises five longitudinal rows of pins. 18. In the examples shown, the pins 18 extend from the core 10 each along an axis of elongation W perpendicular to the surface of the core, at the point of connection of the pin 18 to the core 10. In a variant not shown, the axis of elongation W of the pins 18 forms an angle different from 90 ° with the surface of the core 10 at the point of connection of the pins to the core. The height of the pins 18 may decrease towards the distal end 12 of the blade 10, as can be seen in FIG. 2, in order to facilitate the engagement in the container 3. The height of the pins 18 can also decrease when the is approaching the rod 7, so as to facilitate the crossing of the wiper member 6 by the applicator member 8 during removal of the applicator 2 of the container 3. The height of the pins 18 is by example between 0.2 mm and 5 mm. The thickness ep of the pins 18, measured at their base, is for example between 0.2 mm and 1.2 mm. The pins 18 may have various shapes. In the example considered, the pins 18 are of conical shape. The invention is however not limited to a particular form of pins. In the example described, the pins terminate in a rounded free end, of radius of curvature Rp for example between 0.07 mm and 0.16 mm, being for example equal to 0.1 mm.

The distance Ep between a pin 18 of a longitudinal row and the adjacent pin of the consecutive longitudinal row, measured between the axes of elongation of the pins, may be between 0.5 mm and 1.1 mm, being for example equal to 0.8 mm. The applicator member 8 may comprise between 30 and 200 pins, for example around 80 pins.

The wiper member 6 may be made of elastomer. The wiper member 6 may comprise a wiping orifice 6a of circular shape, possibly with slots.

The diameter of the wiping orifice Ga of the wiper member 6 is for example between 3 and 5.5 mm, for example of the order of 4.5 mm or 5 mm. The wiper member 6 may optionally comprise corrugations, allowing the wiper orifice to widen more easily to the passage of the applicator member 8. The wiping orifice can thus be defined by a undulating wringing lip having a radially inner free edge defining the wringing orifice 6a. The wiper member 6 may comprise a number of corrugations between 3 and 12, for example. The wiper lip may extend generally in a cone converging towards the bottom of the container 3, generating an angle with the longitudinal axis of the container 3. The diameter of the wiper orifice 6a increases for example by 4 mm to 5.5 mm without excessive deformation of the wiper member 6, during the passage of the applicator member 8, by deployment of the corrugations. The wiper member can still be adjustable, if necessary.

The wiper member may for example be as described in the patent applications or patents US 2005/0028834, US 2005/0175394, US 2004/0258453, US 6,375,374, US 6,328,495, US 7,455,468. The rod 7 to which is attached the applicator member 8 may be at least partially, especially entirely flexible, in particular near the applicator member 20. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the applicator member 8 comprises an elongate applicator element 13 along the longitudinal axis X of the core 10, in aileron fauna, and extending over less than half of its length. the length of the core 10. The applicator element 13 is flattened along a median plane P containing the longitudinal axis X of the core 10 or parallel to a plane containing the longitudinal axis of the core. In the example of FIGS. 2 and 3, the applicator member 8 is free of pins 18 projecting orthogonally onto the elongated application element 13. In other words, in the front part of the applicator member, the pins 18 are oriented on one side and the elongated element 13 on the other. The elongated application element 13 is, in the example considered and as can be seen in FIG. 3, offset with respect to the longitudinal axis X of the web 10, the distance d between the plane P and a parallel plane containing the longitudinal axis X of the core 10 being non-zero. In the alternative embodiment shown in FIG. 4, a pin 18 projects orthogonally onto the elongate applicator element 13 so that the vertex S of the elongate applicator element 13 constitutes a point farther from the longitudinal axis X of the core 10 that the projection of the free end 18a of said pin 18. The distance D between the vertex S and the longitudinal axis X of the core 10 is thus greater than the distance Dp between the end of the orthogonal projection of the pin 18 on the elongate application element 13 and the longitudinal axis X of the core 10, these distances being measured perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis X of the core 10 and perpendicular to the direction projection. In the example considered, the height h, of the orthogonal projection of the pin 18 on the plane P above the core is less than half of the maximum height h 'of the elongate application element 13.

In the examples of FIGS. 1 to 5, the maximum height h of the elongated application element 13 is greater than the greater height hp of the pins 18, along the portion 10a of the core 10 carrying the element. 13. The ratio h '/ hp between the height h' of the elongated application element 13 and the greater height of the pins hp is for example between 0.5 and 1.5.

In the examples shown, the height of the elongate application element 13 increases from its distal end 14 to the vertex S, then decreases to its proximal end 15. In a variant that is not shown, the height of the elongate application element 13 is constant over its entire length.

The maximum height h, of the elongate application element 13 is for example between 2 mm and 5 mm. In the examples of FIGS. 1 to 7, the height of the elongated applicator element 13 at its distal end 14 is non-zero. In the variant shown in Figure 8, the height of the elongate applicator element 13 at its distal end] .4 is zero. In the variant shown in Figure 7, the top S of the elongated application member 13 is a single point.

As can be seen in particular in FIGS. 3 and 4, the thickness e 'of the elongate applicator element 13 may decrease in the direction of its free edge 13a. As shown in FIG. 5, the thickness of the elongate applicator element 13 can increase towards its distal end 14 and decrease towards its proximal end 15. The maximum thickness of the applicator element elongate 13 is for example between 0.4 mm and 1 mm, being for example equal to 0.6 mm. In the examples described, the elongated application element 13 is higher than thick, being for example between 4 and 7 times higher than thick.

The length in elongate application element 13 may be between 10 mm and 14 mm being for example equal to 11 mm. In the example of FIGS. 1 to 3, the apex S of the elongate applicator element 13 is situated a distance from the distal end 12 of the core 10 substantially equal to one third of the length of the web 10 .

In the examples shown, the elongated applicator element 13 is closer to the distal end 12 of the core 10 than to its proximal end 11. In the examples of FIGS. 1 to 5, the distal end 14 of the elongate application element 13 is distant from the distal end 12 of the core 10, for example by a distance cid equal to about 0.5 mm.

In a variant shown in FIG. 9, the elongated applicator element 13 extends around the nose 16 of the core 10, along the plane P. The elongated application element 13 thus has, for example, at its end distal 14 a rounded portion, preferably of the same thickness as the rest of the elongated application member 13, extending around the nose 16 of the core 10, according to the plane P. In the example described, the elongate application element 13 protrudes longitudinally from the distal end 12 of the core 11 over a distance of, measured along the longitudinal axis X of the core 10, which is non-zero, being for example between 0, 1 mm and 0.5 mm. The elongate applicator element 13 advantageously has rounded portions at its distal 14 and proximal ends 15, thus being free of right angles at its ends. As shown in FIG. 6, the elongate applicator element 13 can be flocked.

In the examples of Figures 1 to 7, the elongated application element 13 is full. In the variant of Figure 8, the elongated application member 13 has an arch shape, consisting of an arched and hollow element. The free ends of the pins 18 of the applicator member 8 and the free edge of the elongated application element 13 define an envelope surface of the applicator member 8, which has a cross section which varies over a part of the length of the applicator member 8. The envelope surface may have a larger cross section of between 8 mm and 11 mm, corresponding for example to a diameter Ji of about 9 minutes, as shown in FIG.

The studs 18 and the elongated application element 13 are made, in the examples under consideration, in one piece by molding thermoplastic material with the core 10. It is possible to use for molding the application member 8 any material thermoplastic, relatively rigid or not, for example SEBS, a silicone, a latex, a reinforced slip material, butyl, PEPDM, a nitrile, a thermoplastic elastomer, a polyester, polyamide, polyethylene or vinyl elastomer a polyolefin such as PE or PP, PVC, EVA, PS, SEBS, SIS, PET, POM, PU, SAM, PA, PMMA. It is also possible to use a ceramic, for example based on alumina, a resin, for example of the urea-formaldehyde type, possibly a graphite-laden material. It is possible to use the materials known under the trade names Teflon®, Hytrel, Cariflex, Santoprene, Pebax®, Pollobas®, this list not being limiting. To use the device 1, the user unscrews the closure cap 5 and extracts the applicator member 8 from the container 3.

After passing through the applicator member 8 of the wiper member 6, a certain amount of product remains along the elongate application element 13, allowing the user to load the eyelashes and / or the eyebrows in product P and combing them with the pins 18. It can also deposit product P. on the inner base of the upper lashes from below using the elongate application element 13, as shown in FIG. in addition, the user can directly make a line of eyeliner on the eyelids using the elongated application element 13.

Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments which have just been described, the characteristics of which can be combined within non-illustrated variants. The applicator member 8 may comprise any bactericidal agent such as silver salts, copper salts, preservatives and at least one preservative agent for the product P. The core 10 and / or the pins 18 and / or elongate application element 13 may further comprise particles, for example a filler, in particular a magnetic, bacteriostatic or moisture-absorbing compound, or a compound intended to create a roughness. The expression "having one" shall be understood as being synonymous with "having at least one", and "between" means included limits, unless otherwise specified.
