Abstract
Disclosed is an applicator for applying a cosmetic product to the eyelashes or eyebrows, including: a stem extending along a longitudinal axis; an applicator member located at a distal end of the stem, that includes: a core extending along a longitudinal axis, bristles connected to the core, defining an envelope surface, the applicator member having a proximal part and a distal part; the envelope surface having a notch with a profile, as seen in longitudinal section, that is not symmetrical with respect to any plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the core; and the envelope surface having, in the proximal part, a variable cross section that decreases in size towards the distal part, the largest transverse dimension of the envelope surface in the distal part being smaller than the largest transverse dimension of the envelope surface in the proximal part.
