Abstract (en)

An applicator, for example for applying cosmetics materials from a container, has a handle portion at one end and a material-retaining portion at the other, and includes first and second interconnected parts which are relatively moveable in an axial direction for altering the overall length of the applicator. In the embodiments the applicator is longest when withdrawn from the container, and shortest when attached to the container with the material retaining portion disposed therein. Accordingly, the container does not have to accommodate the full length of the withdrawn applicator and can therefore be reduced in length.
