Abstract: A cosmetic applicator and a process for producing the same are disclosed. The cosmetic applicator according to the present invention comprises a pair of components each comprising a cloth material used for coating cosmetics and a core material which is wrapped with the cloth material from the front surface side to the back surface side of the core material, and a welding sheet arranged at a joining portion of the two components which are arranged to face the respective back surfaces in order to join the back surfaces of the two components with each other, wherein the cloth material at the back surface side of the core material is folded at a predetermined size in the site excluding the central portion of the core material to form a folding face, and an excess endface inside the peripheral edge of the folding face is subjected to drawing.

Abstract: A binding yarn is wound at a portion on the inner periphery of an applicator pad adhered to a stick corresponding to a cutaway groove, where the applicator pad is bound to the core portion of the stick while being bitten into the cutaway groove. Then, a heating head is applied to a certain portion of the binding yarn wound around the applicator pad, to heat it at a predetermined temperature and fuse it. Thereafter, the binding yarn delivered from the tip of a rotary arm is heated and cut to be separated therefrom. The makeup applicator is thus accomplished. Therefore, the present invention provides such a makeup applicator and a method of producing the same, which ensures that the applicator pad is attached to the stick, with a resistance of a long-term use, and with an enhanced sanitary capability and high safety.
