an applicator;

a wiper comprising a plurality of bellows arranged in succession around an axis of said wiper; and

scrapers projecting from said plurality of bellows for scraping said applicator in response to an extraction or removal of said applicator from said reservoir in order to remove excess makeup from a surface of said applicator;

said plurality of bellows being adapted to permit said scrapers to move in response to a profile of said applicator when said applicator is extracted from said reservoir.

2. The makeup device according to claim 1, arranged in such a manner that each of said scrapers extend in a plane perpendicular to an extraction direction for extracting the applicator from the reservoir, at least when a stem of the applicator lies in register with the wiper.

3. The makeup device according to claim 1, in which each of said scrapers presents a free end of concave shape.

4. The makeup device according to claim 1, in which each of said scrapers presents a free end that does not have a corner between its two ends.

5. The makeup device according to claim 1, in which each of said scrapers presents a free end that is of curved shape.

6. The makeup device according to claim 1, in which each of said scrapers present free ends that extend one another, preferably continuously, at least when the entire applicator lies outside the reservoir.

7. The makeup device according to claim 1, arranged so that the wiper leaves an opening for the reservoir, at least when the entire applicator lies outside the reservoir.

8. The makeup device according to claim 1, arranged in such a manner that the wiper closes the reservoir at least when the entire applicator lies outside the reservoir.

9. The makeup device according to claim 1, in which the applicator includes a stem having a portion that is smaller than that of some other portion of the stem, and forms a housing, the makeup device being arranged in such a manner that the scrapers extend into the housing when the applicator closes the reservoir.

10. The makeup device according to claim 1, in which said plurality of bellows presents folds.

11. The makeup device according to claim 10, in which some of the folds project and other folds are indented.

12. The makeup device according to claim 11, in which the number of projecting folds and the number of indented folds are both equal to six.

13. The makeup device according to claim 1, in which each of said scrapers extends between two projecting folds relative to a circumferential direction about a main axis of the wiper.
