• wherein, in both the retracted position and the deployed position, the first part and the second part together define an interior cavity within the applicator for holding the cosmetic product,
• each of the first and second parts comprises at least two longitudinal branches, the at least two longitudinal branches of the first part being circumferentially alternated with the at least two longitudinal branches of the second part, the branches of the first part and the branches of the second part at least partially defining the interior cavity;
• and,
• wherein each of the parts is hollow, so as to define the interior cavity when the first part and the second part are engaged in each other
• each of the first and second parts comprises at least one opening arranged between two consecutive branches, the opening enabling a passage of a branch of the other part and distribution of the cosmetic product.
