Applicator for applying a cosmetic, makeup or care, product to the eyelashes and/or eyebrows

Applicator for applying a cosmetic, makeup or care, product to human keratin fibres, in particular the eyelashes and/or eyebrows, having a stem and, at the distal end thereof, an applicator member having a core that extends along a longitudinal axis,

• wherein the stem has a rectilinear portion that extends along a rectilinear longitudinal axis and a curved portion that extends along a curvilinear longitudinal axis,
• the distance between the longitudinal axis of the rectilinear portion of the stem and the longitudinal axis of the curved portion of the stem, measured perpendicularly to said axis, increasing in the direction of the distal end of the stem, along at least a part of the length of the curved portion,
• and the distance between the longitudinal axis of the core and the longitudinal axis of the rectilinear portion of the stem, measured perpendicularly to said axis, decreasing by going away from the distal end of the stem, along at least a part of the length of the applicator member.

Applicator according to the preceding claim, wherein the ratio of the difference in absolute value between the radius of curvature of the curved portion of the stem and that of the core to the radius of curvature of the curved portion of the stem is between 0.1 and 3, better still between 0.2 and 1.6.

Applicator according to the preceding claim, wherein the first face of the core carries two longitudinal outer rows of application elements enclosing a longitudinal central row of application elements which is offset axially with respect to said two outer rows, the application elements in the two outer rows having in particular a semi-conical shape, and the application elements in the central row having in particular a pyramid shape.
