Abstract
The invention concerns an applicator for applying a product to the eyelashes and/or eyebrows, comprising a molded application member which includes: a core with a longitudinal axis; teeth each extending outwards from the core in the direction of a free end of the tooth; at least one tooth, preferably a row of teeth, particularly preferably all the teeth, having, in elevation, a dissymmetrical shape and a convex edge, the tooth or teeth tapering both over at least part of the height thereof upwards and towards the convex edge.
Claims19
An applicator for applying a product to the eyelashes and/or eyebrows, having a molded applicator member, this applicator member having:
- a core having a longitudinal axis,
- teeth that each extend outward from the core in the direction of a free end of the tooth, at least one tooth having, in front view along the longitudinal axis of the core, an asymmetrical shape and having a convex edge constituting a ridge, said tooth or teeth comprising two opposite longitudinal main faces that both directly connect the ridge to a face opposite to the ridge, the ridge being at least partially formed by the intersection of the two opposite longitudinal main faces, said tooth or teeth becoming thinner upward over at least a part of their height and the tooth or teeth becoming in cross section thinner along a median plane of the tooth or teeth from the face opposite to the ridge toward the convex edge.
An applicator for applying a product to the eyelashes and/or eyebrows, having a molded applicator member, this applicator member having:
- a core having a longitudinal axis,
- teeth that each extend outward from the core in the direction of a free end of the tooth, at least two adjacent teeth each having, in front view, an asymmetrical shape and a convex edge constituting a ridge, said two adjacent teeth each comprising two opposite longitudinal main faces that both directly connect the ridge to a face opposite to the ridge, the ridge being at least partially formed by the intersection of the two opposite longitudinal main faces, said two adjacent teeth becoming thinner both upward over at least a part of their height and toward the convex edge, the teeth having, in front view, a rectilinear edge extending over at least half the height of the teeth, the convex edges of the two adjacent teeth being of opposite orientation, the two adjacent teeth being partially superposed in front view at their base.
