Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1504691A1] Cosmetic applicator, designed for use with a container (2) of a cosmetic product, especially nail varnish, comprises a stem (4) with an applicator tip (6) at one end (5) and a holder (9), which can be combined with a container cap, at the other end (8). Cosmetic applicator, designed for use with a container (2) of a cosmetic product, especially nail varnish, comprises a stem (4) with an applicator tip (6) at one end (5) and a holder (9), which can be combined with a container cap, at the other end (8). The stem has a flexible zone with a shape memory effect between its two ends and its distal section, between the flexible zone and tip, is virtually inflexible and approximately twice as long as the proximal section. The flexible zone allows the distal section of the stem to bend at an angle of 30 degrees, and preferably 45 to 60 degrees, to the proximal section. The cross-section of the stem can be circular or in other shapes, while that of the flexible zone is flattened and oblong.
