A cosmetic applicator for applying a product including a cosmetic, care or pharmaceutical composition onto the keratinous substrate such as skin, lips, under eyes, eyelids, cheeks, or any other part of the body. The cosmetic applicator includes an applicator head having an applying member and a shank portion. The applying member includes a stiffness modifying portion to modify the resistance of the applying member to deflection in a transverse direction. In one embodiment the applying member comprises a first application face and a second application face. The stiffness modifying portion comprises a hinge formed between the shank portion and the applying member. The hinge is limited to a single zone in a circumference of the applicator head to provide flexibility to the applying member giving user the feeling that the applying member is very soft and resilient. According to another embodiment the applying member comprises a planar spatula member with a first face and an opposite second face. The applying member further includes two convex bulges, namely a first convex bulge and a second convex bulge extending in opposite directions from respective of the first face and the second face of the spatula member. The bulges increase the stiffness of a portion of the applying member.

A container for a liquid or pasty cosmetic product has an elongate body, a reservoir that contains the product and is able to move in translation in the body between a top working position and a maximum depressed position under the action of an elastically compressible device, and an application element secured to a cap that is retractable into the body and including a shaft that is secured to the cap and is terminated by an applicator suitable for being loaded with product when it is dipped into the reservoir; a peripheral part provided with a locking finger that is able to move transversely and a more flexible internal part are attached to the reservoir close to its edge in order to engage in terms of sealing with a widened portion of the shaft and to lock the latter to the reservoir over only a part of the travel of the reservoir in the body.

The wiper (8) for a cosmetic product applicator (6) for a container (4) contains the cosmetic product, the wiper (8) extending along a longitudinal axis (A-A′) and defining an insertion direction of the applicator (6) into the container (4) from a proximal end of the wiper (8) toward a distal end of the wiper (8).

The wiper (8) comprises: a tube (16) having a longitudinal axis (A-A′), the tube (16) defining a distal region (30) of constant interior section; and a wiping lip (20) of the applicator (6) of longitudinal axis (A-A′), having an interior section becoming narrower in the insertion direction of the applicator (6) up to a distal passage orifice (44).

The wiper (8) comprises a connecting segment (18) connecting the distal region (30) of the tube (16) to a proximal end of the wiping lip (20), the interior section of the connecting segment (18) becoming wider along the insertion direction.

Implementations described herein provide an apparatus and a method for applying mascara with a mascara applicator assembly. The mascara applicator assembly has a body. The body has an inner volume configured to accept mascara product. A stem is coupled to the body. The stem has a passage and one or more apertures. The one or more apertures extend through the stem and into the passage. A brush is disposed on a distal end of the stem and has a dispensing region and an application region. The dispensing region has bristle fibers arranged in an orientation different than the bristle fibers disposed in the application region.

The invention relates to an applicator tip (10) for cosmetic product, said applicator tip (10) comprising a fixing part for fixing to a support rod, and an application part (20, 20′) for applying said product, said application part (20, 20′) having at least two opposing rounded applicator faces (F1, F2) that are hinged to said fixing part (14) and extend as far as a distal end (16) of the applicator (10), said rounded faces (F1, F2) having a radius of curvature (R1, R2) of less than 6 mm.

The invention also relates to an associated applicator and applicator assembly.

The cosmetic product article that includes a product container including an opening; a stamp having a main contact zone that can come into contact with part of a person's body; and a stopper bearing the stamp and capable of sealing the opening. The article is arranged such that the contact zone is oriented towards the container once the stamp has been inserted into the opening.

Disclosed herein is a container assembly having a cap with a channel and a base with protrusions on a collar. The protrusions are received in the channel and guide the cap in a rotating motion onto the base. The cap and base may have magnets that provide an attractive force that brings the cap and base together. The container in cosmetics applications is also discussed.

A double brush rod type mascara cosmetic case is provided, to which a double brush rod type of a first brush rod having a top portion coupled to a first cap and a first brush disposed at a bottom, and a second brush rod having a top portion coupled to a second cap and a second brush disposed at a bottom is applied, such that a mascara liquid in a case main body may be used even when the brushes applied as brushes or the brush rods are deformed due to carelessness in use, and to which a double closing structure of a first closure which doubly blocks and tightly closes an opened top portion of the case main body, and a second closure which doubly blocks and tightly closes an opened top portion of the first cap is applied.

The invention relates to a packaging device (10) for a cosmetic product comprising: a cosmetic product reservoir (12); a seal (14) mounted fixed on an edge of a reservoir opening (22); and a cover (16) that can be removably assembled to the reservoir in a closed position; said cover comprising a closing element (62) capable of cooperating with the seal to close and seal the opening in the closed position. The seal comprises a tubular skirt (30) for receiving the closing element, said skirt being arranged along an axis (25) passing through the opening in the reservoir and comprising a free edge (38) oriented towards the exterior of said reservoir, the free edge being elastically deformable. The closing element is configured (70) to radially deform the free edge in the closed position.

An applicator for a cosmetic product to keratinous materials, particularly to keratinous fibers, notably to the eyelashes, the eyebrows and/or the capillary fibers, includes a core that extends along a longitudinal axis, a cosmetic product application element having at least one block of a foam attached to the core, the foam being an open-cell polymer foam which on its outer surface has free strands formed by all or part of the edge corners of cells that have been cut through by the machining of the foam.
