Abstract
A cosmetic application tool is provided which includes an applying portion attached and integrated with a leading end portion of a brush shaft. The applying portion includes a flat, plate-shaped portion surrounded by a hollow, skirt-shaped portion at its distal end. When the brush shaft is drawn out of a cosmetic container, the skirt-shaped hollow portion of the applying portion is flattened by a wiper provided in a surrounding manner within the cosmetic container, so that some of the liquid cosmetic that has been pooled in the skirt-shaped hollow portion is pushed out over the flat plate-shaped portion while some is retained in the skirt-shaped hollow portion of the applying portion. Accordingly, when the brush shaft is inserted into and drawn out of the cosmetic container, the amount of liquid cosmetic retained by the applying portion includes not only the liquid cosmetic that can be retained by both surfaces of the plate-shaped applying portion but also the portion of the liquid cosmetic retained in the hollow portion.
