Applicator for applying a cosmetic, make-up or care product

A packaging and application device comprising:

• a container containing an eyeliner to be applied;
• and
• an applicator for applying the eyeliner, which extends along a rectilinear longitudinal axis and comprises:
• a handle defining a gripping surface enabling a user to hold the applicator during application of the eyeliner, the handle extending along a length measured along the longitudinal axis of the applicator,
• a holder extending from a distal end of the handle, the holder having a visible length that extends along the longitudinal axis of the applicator, and
• an applicator member supported on a distal end of the holder,
• wherein:
• the visible length of the holder is the length of the holder that extends from the distal end of the handle to a proximal end of the applicator member,
• a ratio of the length of the handle to the visible length of the holder is greater than 2, and
• the handle has, taken perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the applicator, (i) at least two spaced-apart cross sections of substantially triangular overall shape, the two cross sections of substantially triangular overall shape being angularly offset relative to one another on a same monolithic portion of the handle, and (ii) at least one intermediate cross section of a shape other than substantially triangular.
