A mascara applicator and portable packaging unit has a flat handle and at least one tuft of bristles implanted parallel to the plane of the handle. The width of the free end of the tuft of bristles measured along a first direction parallel to this plane is at least equal to a quarter of an arc of the eyelashes. The bristles are capable of loading mascara onto eyelashes along a longitudinal axis of the latter.
