Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2407054A1] A cosmetic product applicator (100) is provided comprising an applicator head (102) comprising a hollow sleeve (108) that is at least partially flexible, with at least the partially flexible portion of the sleeve being fitted with a plurality of bristles (104) and a rod (110) having a proximal end (112) and a distal end (114). The rod is movable with respect to the hollow sleeve, with at least the distal end being movably accommodated within the hollow sleeve. The distal end of the rod comprises a deforming arrangement (116) snugly accommodated within the hollow sleeve, the deforming arrangement being arranged to deform the flexible portion of the hollow sleeve proximate the deforming arrangement, thereby varying the relative angles at which the bristles, proximate the deformed portion of the hollow sleeve, extend from the hollow sleeve. In an embodiment, the bristles on the deformed portion of the flexible sleeve flare open to define a lash release configuration, and simultaneously the bristles on the flexible sleeve adjacent the deformed portion of the flexible sleeve are forced closer together to define a lash grab configuration.
