[0058] As illustrated in Figures 1-19, the invention relates to an applicator comprising a first application component 10 and a second application component 20. The first application component 10 comprises an application portion 16 and a mounting portion 17. The application portion 16 is equipped with a first brush 12, while the second application component 20 is equipped with a folded portion 24 and a second brush 25. The second component application component 20 is fitted onto the first application component 10 in the axial direction. The bent portion 24 of the second application component 20 is hooked in the first direction of the mounting portion 17 to fix the second application component 20 onto the first application component 10. The first direction is arranged non-parallel to the axial direction of the first application component 10. As illustrated in [Fig.l], the X-axis is defined as the radial direction of the first application component 10, while the Y-axis is defined as the axial direction of the first application component 10. The non-parallel arrangement of the first direction with respect to the axial direction of the first application component 10 means that the first direction can be any direction other than the axial direction of the first application component 10.Optionally, the angle between the first direction and the axial direction of the first application component 10 may be between 45° and 135°. Optionally, the first direction may be the radial direction. The first application component 10 is divided along its axial direction into an application portion 16 and a mounting portion 17. The application portion 16 is used for arranging the first brush 12, while the mounting portion 17 is used for mounting the first application component 10 and the second application component 20 in the brush shaft.The second application component 20 is fitted onto the first application component 10 in the axial direction, and the bent portion 24 of the second application component 20 is hooked in the first direction of the first application component 10, which effectively reduces the risk of detachment of the second application component 20 from the axial direction of the first application component 10. Unlike traditional application components which are fixed only in the axial direction, they are easily detachable during use. In this invention, the first brush 12 and the second brush 25 are present.The first brush 12 and the second brush 25 can be made from different materials, or the first brush 12 and the second brush 25 can be designed with different lengths and densities to meet various makeup needs, thereby reducing makeup costs and simplifying the makeup process..
[0059] The applicator also includes a brush shaft, where the mounting portion 17 of the first application component 10 is inserted into the brush shaft and secured thereto. The mounting portion 17 and the brush shaft may be secured together by points, snaps, adhesives, etc. Optionally, both the first application component and the brush shaft are made of plastic and secured by points. Point D in [Fig.22] represents the location of the attachment points of the mounting portion 17, where the first application component 10 is secured to the brush shaft by creating attachment points at location D. Since the second application component 20 is attached to the first application component 10 in the first direction by means of the bent portion 24, i.e., they have a bonding force in the radial direction, so they are more securely attached together, thereby reducing the risk of detachment. When the first application component and the second application component are assembled on the brush rod, the second application component 20 does not individually detach from the brush rod, thereby extending the service life of the applicator.
[0060] Embodiment 1: As illustrated in Figures 8 to 15, the first application component 10 is provided with a groove 11 in the axial direction, and the second application component 20 is mounted in the groove 11. The first application component 10 is provided with a first surface 13 and a second surface 14 arranged oppositely, and the first brush 12 is arranged on the first surface 13 and the second surface 14 of the first application component 10. A groove 11 surrounds the first application component 10 between the first surface 13 and the second surface 14. As illustrated in Figures 9 and 12, the first application component 10 has an elongated rod-shaped structure, with a groove 11 surrounding the first application component 10 in the axial direction.The groove 11 divides the surface of the first application component into a first surface 13 and a second surface 14, where the first brush 12 is disposed on the first surface 13 and the second surface 14 of the application part 16. As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 7, the second application component 20 is wound around the groove 11, and the folded portion 24 of the second application component 20 is wrapped in the groove 11 at the end remote from the application part 16 of the first application component 10, which prevents the second application component 20 from detaching from the first application component 10..
[0061] In this embodiment, the root portion of the first brush 12 is integrally attached to the first application component 10, the head of the first brush 12 extends in a direction away from the first application component 10 and constitutes the free end thereof. The diameter of the root portion of the first brush 12 is greater than the diameter of the head of the first brush 12. The density and length of the first brushes 12 on the first surface 13 differ from those of the first brushes 12 on the second surface 14. On the first surface 13, the first brushes 12 are arranged more densely and shorter, while on the second surface 14, they are arranged more sparsely and longer. This makes it possible to meet the needs of different users and different makeup stages, thus enriching the functionality of the applicator.

Optionally, as shown in [Fig. 20], the position of the through holes 15 is close to the lower end of the first application component 10.
[0063] As illustrated in Figures 16 to 19, the second application component 20 comprises a first rod section 21, a second rod section 22, and a connecting section 23. The ends of the connecting section 23 are attached to the first end of the first rod section 21 and the first end of the second rod section 22, respectively. At least one of the rod sections 21, 22 has a bent portion 24 that extends in the first direction of the first rod section 21 or the second rod section 22. The first rod section 21 and the second rod section 22 are located on the same side of the connecting section 23. The connecting section 23 is provided with second brushes 25, and both the first rod section 21 and the second rod section 22 are provided with second brushes 25.Optionally, a portion of the first rod section 21 and second rod section 22 close to the connecting section 23 is provided with second brushes 25. As illustrated in [Fig. 16], the second application component 20 has an overall inverted U-shaped structure. The folded portion 24 may be present only on the first rod section 21, only on the second rod section 22, or on both the first rod section 21 and the second rod section 22. .
[0064] Optionally, the second end of the first rod section 21 is provided with a bent portion 24, or the second end of the second rod section 22 is provided with a bent portion 24, or both the second end of the first rod section 21 and the second end of the second rod section 22 are provided with bent portions 24. In Figures 16 to 19, the bent portion 24 is present only at the second end of the second rod section 22, but it may also be present only at the first end of the first rod section 21, or both ends of the first rod section 21 and the second rod section 22 may each be provided with a bent portion, the bent portion 24 forming an L-shaped structure with the rod.When assembling, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the first rod section 21 and the second rod section 22 are placed in the grooves 11 on both sides of the first application component 10, . that is, the two rod sections are clamped against the first application component 10 in the axial direction, the connecting section 23 is placed in the groove 11 at the upper end of the first application component 10, and the bent portion 24 is placed in the groove 11 at the lower end of the first application component 10, or as shown in Figures 20 and 21, the bent portion 24 is inserted into the through holes 15, so that the first application component 10 and the second application component 20 are firmly connected in the radial direction, and they should not separate when of use.
[0065] Optionally, the bent portion 24 is located between the first end and the second end of the first rod section 21, and the bent portion 24 is close to the second end of the first rod section 21, or the bent portion 24 is located between the first end and the second end of the second rod section 22, and the bent portion 24 is close to the second end of the second rod section 22, or the rod sections 21, 22 between the first end and the second end of the first rod section 21 and between the first end and the second end of the second rod section 22 are all provided with bent portions 24. In other words, the bent portions 24 are present on the rod sections between the first end and the second end.During assembly, the folded portions 24 are inserted into the through holes 15 of the mounting portion 17 to fix the first application component 10 and the second application component 20 together.
