Abstract (en)
A mascara applicator includes a hollow grip portion (2) connected to which is one end of a shaft (4), the other end of which carries a mascara brush (6). The shaft (4) and mascara brush (6) are hollow and the mascara brush (6) is flexible. An elongate flexible connector (20) extends within the shaft and the mascara brush. A first end of the connector (20) is fixed with respect to the distal end of the mascara brush and the second end of the connector is fixed with respect to actuating means (38, 46) within the grip portion (2). The actuating means are selectively operable to move the second end of the connector (20) in the direction away from the mascara brush (6), thereby applying a force to the distal end of the mascara brush and causing it to adopt a curved configuration.
