Abstract: A cosmetics applicator includes a molded plastic cap having a top and a sidewall with a generally cylindrical interior surface, with threads defined thereon, adapting the cap for removable engagement on a bottle containing cosmetics. A molded plastic applicator rod is formed integrally with the cap and extends from the top of the cap coaxially through the cylindrical sidewall. A molded plastic applicator tip is formed integrally with the applicator rod at a distal end thereof spaced apart from the cap, the applicator tip having a surface shaped for application of cosmetics. Flocking is applied to the surface of the applicator tip. The applicator rod is preferably cylindrical, and the outer surface of the applicator tip is recessed with respect to the applicator rod with the flocking, with the flocking applied to a depth equal to or greater than recess.
