• the linear core wire stem front and rear end portions of the brush member are respectively supported on front end and rear end side bearings, provided coaxially with the applicator body of the comb member on front and rear end portions of the applicator body, and a substantially upper half region of the brush bristle body accommodated in the applicator body is exposed above the applicator body, wherein
• the brush member is configured so that
• the brush member is positioned on the comb member by fixing a rear end portion of the linear core wire stem to the rear end side bearing extending to a rear side of the applicator body, the rear end side bearing having a U-shaped cross section open upward, and
• the front end portion of the linear core wire stem is engaged with the front end side bearing extending in an upstanding wall at a front upper side of the applicator body, the front end side bearing having a U-shaped cross section open downward, and tip ends of respective brush bristles in a substantially lower half region of the brush bristle body accommodated in the applicator body are flush with and in contact with an inner circumferential surface of the applicator body, and wherein
• the U-shaped cross section of the rear end side bearing and the U-shaped cross section of the front end side bearing open in opposite directions,
• wherein the front end portion of the linear core wire stem does not extend beyond the front end side bearing and is engaged with the front end side bearing at a front upper side and not engaged with the front end side bearing at a front lower side of the applicator body such that it is exposed downwardly.
