Abstract:
An applicator (10) for a cosmetic product has a core (12) extending in a main longitudinal extension direction, which is referred to as the main direction (X). The core (12) has two twisted metal strands. The applicator (10) further has a plurality of fibres held on the core (12) by the twisted strands. The twisted strands form non-contiguous turns (14, 14′, 15) so as to accommodate the fibres, the number and/or the type of the fibres varying from one turn, which is referred to as the first turn (14, 14′), to the other, which is referred to as the second turn (15).
