A device for applying a substance, in particular a cosmetic, the device comprising an applicator having a structure for application purposes and capable of transporting the substance onto a surface to be treated, and optionally a wiper member for wiping said applicator prior to applying the substance, wherein inside at least a portion of said structure and/or the wiper member there are disposed one or more elements generating or suitable for generating a magnetic field of predetermined orientation.
A method of manufacturing an applicator or a wiper member for wiping an applicator, the method comprising the following steps:
- a) incorporating magnetizable particles within the wiper member or the applicator structure of the applicator;
- and
- b) subjecting said particles to a magnetic field in such a manner as to cause said structure to generate or be suitable for generating at least one magnetic field of predetermined orientation.
