(57) 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 ap- plicator. 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is longest when withdrawn from the container, and shortest when attached to the container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not have to accommodate the full length of the withdrawn applicator and can therefore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.
