A cosmetic applicator comprising:

• a resilient body having a curved shape relative to a longitudinal axis, wherein the resilient body is adapted for tamping and picking up makeup when held and tamped against skin by a user;
• an outer layer of the resilient body comprising an open cell foam with a plurality of spaced apart makeup tamping elements adapted for tamping makeup embedded in the open cell foam;
• the open cell foam having a mean pore diameter between 100 microns and 500 microns disposed around the tamping elements, said open cell foam adapted for picking up makeup;
• and
• wherein the tamping elements extend in depth to a fluid impermeable layer underlying the outer layer.

A cosmetic applicator comprising:

• a resilient body having a curved shape adapted for tamping and picking up makeup when held and moved by a user;
• a surface layer of the resilient body having a selected depth of between 0.2 mm and 5 mm overlying a fluid impermeable portion of the resilient body;
• wherein the surface layer comprises a porous open cell foam and a plurality of nonporous tamping elements spaced apart in the open cell foam, wherein the open cell foam has a mean pore diameter between 100 microns and 500 microns adapted for picking up makeup and wherein the tamping elements extend within the surface layer to the depth of the fluid impermeable portion of the resilient body;
• and
• wherein the open cell foam comprises less than 10% of a volume of the resilient body.
