It should be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the components in use or operation in addition to those shown in the figure. For example, if a component in the figure is inverted, it is described as a component “above other component or structure” or “on other component or structure”. Therefore, the component will be positioned as “below other component or structure” or “under other component or structure”. Therefore, the exemplary term “above” may include both orientations “above” and “below”. The component may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated by 90 degrees or in other orientations), but the relative description of the space should be explained accordingly.

As shown in FIGS. 1-80, a cosmetic applicator includes brush rod 10. The brush rod 10 includes grip portion 20 and application portion 30. The application portion 30 includes first surface 31 and second surface 32. Thin-film layer 40 is fixedly provided on the first surface 31. Accommodating cavity 33 is formed between the thin-film layer 40 and the first surface 31. The application portion 30 and the thin-film layer 40 each are covered by flocking layer 50. An axial section of the application portion 30 is elliptical or lanceolate. The accommodating cavity 33 is configured to store a cosmetic. The cosmetic applicator can be used for makeup on a lip, an eye, a face and so on. There are no limits made on a structure of the grip portion 20. Optionally, the grip portion 20 is a cylindrical structure. In response to use, the grip portion 20 is held by a hand of the user, and the application portion 30 is pulled out of a cosmetic bottle. A few cosmetic is carried out by the flocking layer 50 and the accommodating cavity 33 covered by the thin-film layer 40. The user uses the flocking layer 50 on the application portion 30 or the flocking layer 50 on the thin-film layer 40 for makeup. Since the application portion is an elliptical or lanceolate structure, the application portion has an arc-shaped outline for the convenience of the user to draw a line, create or accurately modify an outline of a makeup portion, and accurately control a feeding amount applied to a lip. With the thin-film layer and the accommodating cavity between the thin-film layer and the application portion, when the application portion is pulled out of the cosmetic bottle, not only can the flocking layer 50 carry the cosmetic, but the accommodating cavity covered by the thin-film layer also stores the cosmetic more. Therefore, the present application greatly improves a cosmetic carrying capacity of the applicator, makes a user dip the cosmetic from the cosmetic bottle less frequently, and achieves convenience in use and a higher makeup efficiency.

The application portion 30 is fixedly connected to the grip portion 20. The first surface 31 and the second surface 32 are opposite to each other. The application portion 30 and the grip portion 20 may be a split structure, and may also be an integral structure. Optionally, the application portion 30, the grip portion 20 and the thin-film layer 40 are an injection molded integral piece, which simplifies a molding process of the cosmetic applicator. The first surface 31 is a flat surface, a convex surface or a concave surface. The second surface 32 is a flat surface, a convex surface or a concave surface. In other words, both the first surface 31 and the second surface 32 are the flat surfaces, the convex surface, or the concave surface. Or the first surface 31 is the flat surface, while the second surface is the convex surface. Or the first surface 31 is the flat surface, while the second surface 32 is the concave surface. Or the first surface 31 is the concave surface, while the second surface is the convex surface.

As shown in FIGS. 1-32, both the first surface 31 and the second surface 32 are the flat surfaces. Or the first surface 31 is the concave surface, while the second surface 32 is the convex surface. The application portion 30 is curved overall, and protruded toward the second surface. Therefore, relatively speaking, the first surface 31 is the concave surface, while the second surface is the convex surface. As shown in FIGS. 33-80, the application portion 30 and the grip portion 20 are coaxial, and both the first surface and the second surface are the flat surfaces.

Optionally, an inwardly recessed groove is formed in the first surface 31. The thin-film layer 40 is fixedly provided on a peripheral wall of the groove. The thin-film layer 40 is protruded toward an outer side of the first surface 31. The groove portion covered by the thin-film layer 40 is the accommodating cavity 33. When the application portion 30 is pulled out of the cosmetic bottle, not only can the flocking layer 50 carry the cosmetic, but the accommodating cavity 33 also stores the cosmetic more, thereby making the cosmetic applicator dip the cosmetic from the cosmetic bottle less frequently, and achieving convenience in use and a higher makeup efficiency. Optionally, an inwardly recessed groove is also formed in the second surface 32. The thin-film layer is provided on the groove in the first surface.

Optionally, the thin-film layer 40 includes at least two thin-film sheets connected to the peripheral wall of the groove. When there are two or more thin-film sheets, the thin-film sheets are spaced apart from each other. The thin-film layer 40 may be taken as a whole, and may also be divided into a plurality of independent portions. Each of the portions is referred to as the thin-film sheet. A part of edges of the thin-film sheet are fixedly provided on the peripheral wall of the groove, while remaining edges of the thin-film sheet are free edges. The accommodating cavity 33 between the thin-film sheet and the groove is configured to store the cosmetic.

In an implementation, the thin-film layer 40 includes two spaced-apart thin-film sheets, namely a first thin-film sheet and a second thin-film sheet. The first thin-film sheet and the second thin-film sheet are respectively provided at two sides of the groove. The first thin-film sheet and the second thin-film sheet are arranged symmetrically along a central axis of the cosmetic applicator. The thin-film sheets may be the same, and may also be different in shape. There may be various shapes of the thin-film sheets. Optionally, referring to Embodiment 1 shown in FIGS. 1-8, edges of the first thin-film sheet and the second thin-film sheet not connected to the groove are shaped as a tailing peak. Referring to Embodiment 2 shown in FIGS. 9-16, edges of the first thin-film sheet and the second thin-film sheet not connected to the groove are wave-shaped. Referring to Embodiment 3 shown in FIGS. 17-24 and Embodiment 4 shown in FIGS. 25-32, both the first thin-film sheet and the second thin-film sheet are an arched structure. The thin-film sheets in Embodiments 1-4 are structurally the same, and the structure is favorable for overall mold opening of the product.

In another implementation, the thin-film layer 40 is taken as an overall thin-film sheet. The thin-film sheet includes four edges. At least two edges are connected to the peripheral wall of the groove. The four edges are respectively a first edge 41, a second edge 42, a third edge 43 and a fourth edge 44 that are connected sequentially.
