Abstract
A unit for the packaging and application of a make-up product for keratinous fibers, in particular eyelashes, includes a body having a bottom in which a block of the product is disposed, a lid for covering the bottom in a detachable manner, and an applicator device including a handle of a substantially flat profile, and carrying at least one applicator element having a free end. The applicator element is formed by a plurality of bristles implanted on a first end of the handle along an arrangement parallel to a plane of the handle, the width of the applicator element being greater than 7.5 mm, the thickness of the free end of the applicator element being from 0.5 mm to 5 and the length of the applicator element being from 4 mm to 60 mm.
Claims45
A packaging and application unit of a make-up product for keratinous fibers, comprising:
- a body having a bottom and containing a solid or semisolid block of the product;
- a lid for detachably covering the bottom;
- and
- an application device including a handle having a substantially flat profile and carrying at least one applicator element disposable inside the body without substantial contact with the product, said applicator element having a free end and being formed by a plurality of bristles implanted in a first end of the handle and substantially parallel to a plane of the handle, the width of said free end of the applicator element measured along a first direction parallel to said plane being greater than 7.5 mm, the thickness of the free end of the applicator element measured along a second direction perpendicular to said plane being from 0.5 mm to 5 mm, and the length of said applicator element measured along a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions being from 4 mm to 60 mm, wherein a ratio .PHI. of an effective surface of the set of bristles and a surface of the free end of the applicator element ranges from 0.10 to 0.5.
A packaging and application unit of a make-up product for keratinous fibers, comprising:
- a body having a bottom and containing a solid or semisolid block of the product;
