The adhesive surface may be suitable for securing the applicator to the skin.

Since the applicator of the present invention can be placed on the pulp of the finger, where the nerve endings are very abundant, it can provide a user with a touch during application that has not been achieved with conventional applicators.

Thus, the present invention can provide near-acceptable accuracy when applying a substance onto the skin with bare fingers. On the other hand, the applicator of the present invention can apply more materials than bare fingers, and the comfort during application is improved.

For example, a circle with an axis X may have a radius of 2/3 or more of the maximum thickness of the applicator.

For example, the maximum thickness of the applicator may be less than half the radius of the surrounding circle, or less than one quarter of the radius. The thin thickness can enhance the transmission of the touch while using the applicator.

In one aspect of the invention, the applicator is small enough not to leave the palm when secured to the distal end of the finger.

Since the applicator is in such a way that its adhesive surface cannot be completely adhered to the pulp of the first phalanx of the index finger, the applicator has a relative relationship between the applicator and the pulp of the first phalanx while being used to apply the material. Movement can occur. The stiffness of the applicator can be chosen such that the entire adhesive surface cannot adhere to the fingertips of the finger.

The relative freedom of movement of the applicator at the fingertip can, for example, allow the applicator to conform to the shape of the surface as it moves in contact with the surface to which the material is applied.
