Cosmetic applicator

A cosmetic applicator, comprising:

• a barrel comprising a front barrel and a rear barrel;
• an application member comprising a brush tip comprising a bundle of fibers on a front barrel side of the barrel;
• an application liquid as a liquid cosmetic;
• and
• an application liquid reservoir comprising the application liquid, disposed at a rear barrel of the barrel, and configured to supply the application liquid in the application liquid reservoir to the brush tip,
• wherein the front barrel is made of a transparent material
• wherein the brush tip is mounted within the front barrel, a tip portion of the brush tip being arranged to protrude from the front barrel through a front end opening of the front barrel,
• wherein a clearance is formed between the front end opening of the front barrel and the brush tip, allowing the brush tip in the front barrel to also be deflected and deformed together with the deflection deformation of the brush tip due to the application operation of the application liquid with the brush tip, and
• wherein the cosmetic applicator satisfies:

• D1 being an inner diameter of the front end opening of the front barrel, D2 being an outer diameter of the brush tip located at the front end opening of the brush tip, and D3=(D1−D2)/D2, and
• (3) a ratio of areas, Sr=Sb/Sa, is 40%<Sr<95%. Sa being a cross-sectional area surrounded by the outer circumference of the brush tip at the outer diameter D2 of the brush tip located at the front end opening of the front barrel, and Sb is the cross-sectional area of the hollow portion formed at the brush tip.
