Device for applying a make-up product for keratinous fibers, in particular eyelashes, and a packaging and application unit using such a device
First Claim
1. A device for applying a make-up product for eyelashes, comprising:
- a substantially flat handle;
an applicator element having a free end and being mounted to a first end of said handle, said applicator element being formed by a blade defining a unitary structure elastically deformable in at least two orthogonal directions and disposed substantially parallel to a plane of the handle, wherein said blade has two main sides, wherein a width of said free end, measured along a first one of said orthogonal directions which is parallel to said plane, is at least equal to a quarter of an average width of an arc of the eyelashes to which the make-up product is to be applied; and
reliefs formed on a surface of at least one of the main sides and being capable of retaining some of the product after a substantial portion of said surface has been brought into contact with the product.

Abstract
A device (1) for applying a make-up product for keratinous fibers, in particular eyelashes, includes a handle (8) of a substantially flat profile, whose first end (10) carries an applicator element (50) having a free end. The applicator element is formed by a blade (6) defining a unitary structure elastically deformable in a multidirectional mode, and disposed substantially parallel to a plane of the handle. The blade (6) has two main sides (51, 52), the surface of at least one of the sides having reliefs (53) capable of retaining some of the product after a substantial portion of the surface has been brought into contact with the product. The width of the free end, measured along a first direction (X) parallel to the plane, is at least equal to a quarter of the average width of an arc of eyelashes.
