Abstract
A container for a solid, liquid, paste or powder cosmetic product, comprising a product applicator element having a transverse face and a tubular storage element elongate in a longitudinal direction and having a bottom and an annular end, the applicator element being mounted in the tubular storage element, is characterized in that the applicator element is a friction fit in the tubular storage element and bears against a mobile part slidably mounted in the tubular element and connected thereto by an elastically compressible device with two axial retraction configurations relative to an axial depression configuration, the two axial retraction configurations respectively defining a first configuration of the applicator element in which its transverse face is flush with the annular end of the tubular element and a second configuration in which its transverse face projects relative to that annular end of the tubular element to a given distance that is significantly greater than the axial depression travel of the elastically compressible device between the first axial retraction configuration and the axial depression configuration.
