[0040] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described in the present application are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0041] It is to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and / or "comprising," or "includes" and / or "including" when used herein, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof.

[0042] For purposes of the description hereinafter, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," "left," "rear," "front," "vertical," "horizontal," and derivatives thereof shall relate to the application as oriented in the drawing figures. However, it is to be understood that the application can assume various alternative orientations and, accordingly, such terms are not to be taken as limitations of the present application, except where so expressly defined by the

[0043] Embodiment: As shown in FIGS. 1-22, a cosmetic applicator head, comprising an applicator head body 100, a blind hole 101 is arranged in the applicator head body 100, the blind hole 101 is used to guide the material into the applicator head body 100, the material includes cosmetic material, skin care material, cleaning material, etc. Since the blind hole 101 is not connected to the outside of the applicator head, there will be no material leakage or spraying, which is conducive to the control of the material output.

[0044] The applicator body 100 comprises a fixedly connected applicator portion 110 and a mounting portion 120, the applicator portion 110 is used for uniformly and gently applying the material, and the mounting portion 120 is used for fixedly mounting the applicator body 100 to the brush rod. Optionally, a blind hole 101 extends from the mounting portion 120 to the applicator portion 110, and the blind hole 101 forms an open end at the mounting portion 120. The outer surface of the applicator portion 110 comprises a material outlet area 111 and a cladding area 112, the cladding area 112 is covered with a cladding layer 113, the applicator body 100 is made of a first material, and the applicator body 100 optionally comprises an integrally formed piece made of the first material, and the cladding layer 113 is made of a second material, and the average pore size of the first material is larger than that of the second material.

[0045] The outer surface of the applicator portion 110 is covered with a cladding layer 113 in a partial area, and the area not covered with the cladding layer 113 is defined as the material outlet area 111, and the average pore size of the material outlet area 111 is larger than that of the cladding layer 113, so the material outlet area 111 is more permeable to the material than the cladding layer 113. Optionally, the thickness of the cladding layer 113 is 0.3-1mm. In this application, the cladding layer 113 with poor permeability is used to cover a part of the outer surface of the applicator portion 110, and the area of the cladding layer 113 can be designed according to the needs, so as to reduce the area of the material outlet area 111 on the applicator portion 110, reduce the material outlet amount, and achieve the effect of effectively controlling the material outlet amount. In this application, only a part of the outer surface of the applicator portion 110 is covered with a cladding layer 113 to control the material outlet amount, compared with the applicator head made of two different materials, the production cost of the applicator head is reduced, and the production process of the applicator head is simplified.

[0046] Optionally, the first material comprises one of sponge, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and aerated silica gel, the average pore size of the first material is larger, which ensures normal material outlet. The second material comprises one of silica gel, polyurethane, chlorobutyl rubber, polypropylene, fluororubber, polysulfide rubber, nitrile rubber, acrylate, fluorocarbon rubber and polydimethylsiloxane. The average pore size of the second material is smaller, only a small amount of material is allowed to seep out of the cladding layer 113, and even the cladding layer 113 does not outlet material, thereby reducing the material outlet area of the outer surface of the applicator portion 110.

[0047] Optionally, the first material comprises sponge and the second material comprises silica gel. The sponge is used to make the applicator body 100, which has good permeability and is commonly used, thus ensuring normal discharge of the discharge area 111 and reducing the manufacturing cost of the applicator. The silica gel is used to make the coating layer 113, which has poor permeability, thus preventing the material from leaking out of the coating layer 113, effectively controlling the discharge amount, and enabling the sponge applicator with a large size to have a small discharge amount. During makeup, the discharge area 111 and the coating layer 113 can both be used to apply the material, but the discharge area 111 and the coating layer 113 have different application effects. The discharge area 111 can quickly apply the material, and the coating layer 113 can apply the material more carefully and uniformly. The user can choose different areas of the applicator to apply the material according to personal preferences or the properties of the material, or first use the discharge area 111 to quickly apply the material, and then use the coating layer 113 to carefully apply the material. Therefore, the applicator improves the makeup efficiency and effect and has a wider range of applications.

[0048] As shown in FIGS. 2-4, the discharge area 111 forms a preset pattern, which can be any shape, such as a customer-specified logo and pattern. Optionally, the preset pattern comprises at least one of a circle, a polygon, an ellipse, a heart shape, a petal shape, an animal or plant pattern, a letter, and a number. Optionally, the discharge area 111 forms the preset pattern when the discharge area 111 is located at the top of the application part 110. The shape of the discharge area 111 can be designed according to customer needs, thus maximizing customer satisfaction, and the shape of the discharge area 111 can also be designed as various meaningful patterns, thus improving the attractiveness of the applicator to users.
