Abstract
An improved cosmetic package, particularly for eye make-up such as mascara, comprising a container, a cap having an applicator extendable into the container and a wiping body within the neck of the container. The package is particularly suited for applicators having an irregular cross-section and provides for threaded cooperation between the cap and container by a construction wherein the cap and applicator are relatively rotatable about their common longitudinal axis. An alternative construction provides for the applicator to be fixed within the cap and the wiping body to be relatively rotatable with the container about their common longitudinal axis. These constructions allow applicators with irregular cross-sections to be used in containers where the cap and container attach by means of cooperating threads.
