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.
