Device for packaging and applying makeup

A device for packaging and applying make-up, the device comprising:

• a rigid elongate tubular body open at one end and having an inside space for containing said makeup;
• an applicator for being received in said body, the applicator including a stalk provided at one end with a makeup applicator element and secured at its other end to a handle that simultaneously constitutes a cap for closing the opening of the body in which the applicator element is engaged, an open throat being formed in said body for wringing out the applicator element and the stalk while the applicator is being withdrawn;
• and
• a moving wall defining said inside space at least in part and capable of moving in response to a change of pressure in said inside space caused by the applicator being withdrawn, wherein, while the device is in use, said moving wall is subjected on the outside to atmospheric pressure, wherein said inside space communicates with the outside through said open throat after the applicator element has been withdrawn, wherein the withdrawal of the applicator element causes the inside space to have a lower pressure than atmospheric pressure and wherein the moving wall moves to equalize the inside space pressure with the atmospheric pressure.

A device for applying makeup comprising:

• a rigid body open at one end and having an inside space for containing said makeup;
• an applicator for being received in said body, the applicator including a stalk provided at one end with an applicator element;
• a wiper member configured to wipe the applicator element while the applicator is being withdrawn;
• and
• a moving wall defining at least partially said inside space, said moving wall being subject on an outside face to atmospheric pressure when the device is in use and being configured to move in response to a change of pressure in said inside space caused by the applicator being withdrawn, wherein the withdrawal of the applicator causes the inside space to have a pressure lower than the atmospheric pressure and wherein the moving wall moves to equalize the inside space pressure with the atmospheric pressure.
