Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2010129818A2] A cosmetic applicator (10) with disparate material application zones (18, 20, 22) and a backwipe return for permitting the achievement of multiple cosmetic material application effects with a single applicator (10) and for permitting the return of backwiped cosmetic material to a cosmetic bottle (52). The applicator has a wire core (34) formed from first and second wire segments twisted into a helical configuration to form a plurality of coils. A plurality of radially disposed bristles are retained by the wire core (34) to form a brush head (16). Multiple distinct bristle zones (18, 20, 22) of different bristle types exhibit distinct material application properties in a single cosmetic applicator (10). Backwiped cosmetic material can be returned to the cosmetic bottle (52) by a sloped shoulder (45) at a proximal end of an applicator rod (12) in combination with a cosmetic material passageway (78) in a sloped facing surface of a flexible inner ring (76) of a wiper (58).
