Abstract
An applicator for a cosmetic product, in particular mascara, comprises a twisted core and fibres that extend from the core being held by the core, the core having a distal end and a proximal end, the fibres forming an envelope (E) with their free end, characterised in that the envelope (E) has curved faces (F1-F4) with at least one slope, or inclination, from the distal end to the proximal end, the slope or inclination changing direction from one face (F1, F3) to the other (F2, F4) so that the envelope (E) has hollows alternating with raised parts around the core.
