An applicator for applying makeup to and/or caring for human keratin fibres, having a stem that extends along a longitudinal axis and is connected at one end to a gripping member and at the other end to an applicator member, the latter extending along a longitudinal axis that is not parallel to the longitudinal axis of the stem and forming an elbow therewith, and having a distal end and a hollow support of elongate overall shape comprising:

• two opposite longitudinal arms that define an opening between one another and meet at the distal end of the applicator member, the support having an overall tapered shape in the direction of said distal end when viewed in a direction generally perpendicular to the opening, and
• at least one arched bridge of material that extends along a curved longitudinal axis and transversely to the longitudinal axis of the applicator member and is connected to said arms of the support, protruding from the opening on the opposite side from a recess of the elbow formed by the applicator member and the stem,
• wherein the applicator member further has at least one straight bridge of material, or said at least one bridge of material is arched, extending along a curved longitudinal axis, the applicator member further having at least one arched bridge of material protruding on the side of the recess of the elbow formed by the applicator member and the stem, the different arched bridges of material extending alternately above and below the opening defined by the support, and
• wherein at least one bridge of material extends along an oblique axis with respect to the longitudinal axis of the applicator member.
