[0030] Embodiment 1: As illustrated in Figures 1-8, a two-part applicator comprises a first applicator head 100 and a second applicator head 200, the first applicator head 100 having a receiving cavity 101, the first applicator head 100 comprising a first mounting part 110 and a first application part 120 fixed to each other, the second applicator head 200 comprising a second mounting part 210 and a second application part 220 fixed to each other, the second applicator head 200 being mounted in the receiving cavity 101, and the first mounting part 110 being fixed to the second mounting part 210, the hardness of the first applicator head 100 being less than that of the second applicator head 200.

[0031] This applicator 400 comprises a first applicator head 100 and a second applicator head 200 formed independently. Optionally, the first applicator head 100 is made of elastic plastic, the inside of the first applicator head 100 is hollowed out to form a receiving cavity 101, the second applicator head 200 is mounted in the receiving cavity 101, the first applicator head 100 and the second applicator head 200 are fixed together by the first mounting part 110 and the second mounting part 210, the first application part 120 and the second application part 220 are used for makeup.

[0032] In this application, the second applicator head 200 is mounted inside the first applicator head 100. As the hardness of the second applicator head The second applicator head (200) is larger than the first applicator head (100). When applying makeup with the first applicator head (120), the second applicator head (200) is used to support the first applicator head (100), thus improving the makeup application effect. Since the first applicator head (120) and the second applicator head (220) have different hardness levels, they can meet the various makeup needs of users, expanding the applicator's functionality. Because the first mounting part (110) and the second mounting part (210) are fixed together, their bonding strength is high, effectively preventing the second applicator head (200) from detaching from the first applicator head (100).As the first applicator head 100 is made of elastic material, it can elastically deform when the second applicator head 200 is mounted, thus facilitating the installation and fixing of the second applicator head 200.

[0033] As illustrated in Figures 3-5, the first end of the first mounting part 110 is connected to the first end of the first application part 120, the second end of the first mounting part 110 and the second end of the first application part 120 being both free ends, the receiving cavity 101 extending from the second end of the first application part 120 along the axis of the first applicator head 100 to the first mounting part 110. That is to say, the receiving cavity 101 is formed inside the first applicator head 100 along the axis.

[0034] In one possible embodiment, as illustrated in Figures 3-4, the receiving cavity 101 is a blind groove, with the receiving cavity 101 forming an open end at the second end of the first application part 120, and the receiving cavity 101 forming a closed end inside the first mounting part 110.
