Abstract: A container with a brush for the application of a product such as mascara includes a scraping sleeve made fast to the neck of the container and which forms at least one constriction permitting the insertion of the brush into the container and its dry-squeezing during withdrawal from the container. The constriction extends transversely inside of the sleeve and defines on either side of the constriction a chamber through which a stem of the brush passes and another chamber opposite to the brush receiving chamber into which the free ends of the bristles are received. The bristles being squeezed while passing through the constriction. The transverse dimension of the constriction is smaller than the length of the bristles so that a certain amount of the product can be retained on the ends of the bristles while the portion of the bristles in the constriction is dry-squeezed.
