Aqueous liquid compositions are provided, which comprise nonionic polymers, such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), or combinations thereof, and which are free of or substantially free of salt-forming groups. The aqueous liquids form solid, flexible films after direct application to skin, and the films may be peeled from the skin to remove adhered keratotic plugs from pores of the skin. The compositions are easily applied to skin, without dripping, with fingers, a brush, or other applicators.

Cosmetic liquid extractor comprising nonionic polymers

An applicator is provided for applying a composition to a user's eyelashes. The applicator includes an applicator element having a large section, a medium section, and a small section, which are adapted to cover the outer, middle, and inner portions of a user's eyelashes, respectively, with a composition (e.g., mascara). The three sections of the applicator element include bristles sized and spaced in such a way as to facilitate even application of the composition without clumping.
