  • Publication number: 20220400835
    Abstract: System for taking up and applying a cosmetic composition onto a surface of the skin to be treated, having a predefined shape, the system including: —at least one support having a receiving surface which can take at least one incurved application configuration roughly matching the profile of the surface to be treated, and —a deformable application member mounted on the receiving surface of the support, having a first take-up and application surface and a second surface, opposite the first, which serves for attaching to the receiving surface of the support, the application member having, between the first and second surfaces, an adaptation layer of variable thickness, the shape of which is chosen so that the relief of the first surface of the application member, when the support is in the application configuration, corresponds more finely to that of the surface to be treated than that of the receiving surface of the support.
