Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, such applicators have the disadvantage of not allowing the user to easily identify the application surface to be used, and the applicator is placed relative to the user's makeup without using the application surface suitable for the desired makeup effect. When positioning surfaces, there are risks that cannot be ignored
[0005] When applying makeup to the eyelashes or eyebrows, it may be more difficult to identify the application side, for example for applying mascara, where the applicator is close to the eye, making it difficult to easily observe the coated surface

Abstract

An applicator for applying a cosmetic, makeup, or care product composition, the applicator comprising: an applicator member for applying the composition and defining at least two different applicator faces that are configured to apply the composition to the eyelashes or the eyebrows; a handle of the applicator, extending along a longitudinal axis of the handle; and a stem connecting the applicator member and the handle, extending along a longitudinal axis of the stem; the longitudinal axis of the handle being of orientation that cannot be adjusted relative to the longitudinal axis of the stem, the applicator including marker means not on the applicator member itself, the marker means being for positioning to face the user during application, the applicator member having a predefined angular position relative to the marker means, such that the positioning of the applicator given by the marker means corresponds to using a predefined applicator face.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an applicator for applying cosmetic, make-up or care products to keratin materials, in particular keratin fibers such as eyelashes and / or eyebrows. [0002] The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such an applicator. Background technique [0003] Applicators known for example from applications EP 1 932 444, EP 1 726 234, US 2006 / 0272667 and EP 1 630 249 comprise two or more different application faces, in particular the implantation of individual teeth on the core. The way of entry is different, or the envelope surface defined by the free ends of the bristles held in the core is different. The individual different application surfaces make it possible to achieve different cosmetic effects depending on the surface used. [0004] However, such applicators have the disadvantage of not allowing the user to easily identify the application surface to be used, and the applicator is placed relative to the u...
