Abstract
An applicator for applying a product to keratinous materials, in particular keratinous fibers, notably the eyelashes, the eyebrows and/or the capillary fibers. The applicator including an application member for applying the product on the keratinous materials, in particular the keratinous fibers, notably the eyelashes, the eyebrows and/or the capillary fibers, and a trough at least partially surrounding the application member, when the applicator is viewed in cross section, over an angular extent greater than 60°.
Claims18
An applicator for applying a product to keratinous materials, comprising:
- an application member for applying the product on the keratinous materials, and
- a trough at least partially surrounding the application member, when the applicator is viewed in cross section, over an angular extent greater than 60°, the trough having a trench shape forming a furrow with a depth that accommodates the application member therein,
- the application member and the trough being configured in such a way that there is no sliding of the application member with respect to the trough,
- wherein the application member has an application ridge along the trough for the application and combing of the eyelashes, eyebrows and/or capillary fibers, and
- all parts of the trough that are positioned on the opposite side from the application member are free of bristles,
- wherein the formation of the application ridge along the trough is due to a forced orientation, by the trough, of bristles arranged on the application member toward the outside.
An applicator for applying a product to keratinous materials, comprising:
- an application member for applying the product on the keratinous materials, and
- a trough at least partially surrounding the application member, when the applicator is viewed in cross section, over an angular extent greater than 120°,
- the application member and the trough being configured in such a way that there is no sliding of the application member with respect to the trough, wherein the application member has an application ridge along the trough for the application and combing of the eyelashes, eyebrows and/or capillary fibers,
- all parts of the trough that are positioned on the opposite side from the application member are free of bristles,
- wherein the formation of the application ridge along the trough is due to a forced orientation, by the trough, of bristles arranged on the application member toward the outside.
