Abstract
The invention provides a novel method for evenly applying cosmetics, especially mascara, to an applicator brush and to the eyelashes. A cosmetic applicator formed with an applicator brush is removed from a container holding the cosmetic in a manner such that the applicator brush rubs against an applicator brush belonging to another applicator, thereby cleaning the brush to remove loose particles of the cosmetic and also causing cosmetic in the vicinity of the rubbing brushes to mix. This mixing action tends to thin ends of the cylindrical container and wherein the eyelash brushes of each of the cosmetic applicators are positioned along substantially the same longitudinal axis when the cap means of both cosmetic applicators are capped onto the container.
