Abstract

A cosmetic applicator for applying a composition including a cosmetic, care or pharmaceutical composition onto the keratinous substrate. The cosmetic applicator further comprises an applicator head, a stem and a closure. The applicator head includes an applying member which comprises a support body extending in along a central longitudinal axis of the applying member. The support body is curved along the central longitudinal axis and includes a first application face and a second application face opposing the first application surface. The first application face and a second application face are bounded by two lateral edges. The support body of the applying member comprises a recessed region formed at a distal portion of the first application face and a hollow region formed at a proximal portion of the second application face.

Dependent claims

A cosmetic applicator for applying a cosmetic or a care product, the cosmetic applicator comprising:

an applicator head;
a stem;
and a cap;
wherein the applicator head is retained at a distal end of the stem, and comprising a central longitudinal axis;
wherein the cap is retained at a proximal end of the stem;
wherein the applicator head comprises an applying member and a shank portion;
wherein the shank portion is formed at a proximal portion of the applicator head;
wherein the applying member is formed at a distal portion of the applicator head;
wherein the applying member comprises a support body extending in along the central longitudinal axis;
wherein the support body is curved along the central longitudinal axis of the applicator head;
wherein the support body of the applying member comprises a first application face and a second application face opposing the first application face;
wherein the first application face and a second application face are bounded by two lateral edges;
wherein the support body of the applying member comprises a recessed region formed at a distal portion of the first application face and a hollow region formed at a proximal portion of the second application face;
wherein the recessed region at the first application face is concavely curved in a width direction orthogonal to the central longitudinal axis of the applicator head;
wherein the hollow region at the second application face is concavely curved in a longitudinal direction parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the applicator head;
wherein the recessed region extends along at least 50% of a length the applying member on the first application face;
wherein the hollow region extends along at least 50% of the length of the applying member on the second application face;
wherein a longitudinal rib extends on the second application face along the central longitudinal axis of the applying member from a proximal end of the applying member to up to a portion of the length of the applying member;
wherein the longitudinal rib divides the hollow region on the second application face into a first reservoir and a second reservoir;
and
wherein the first reservoir lies on a left side of the longitudinal rib and the second reservoir lies on a right side of the longitudinal rib.
