Claim 18:
19. A cosmetic applicator for applying a cosmetic product on a keratinous surface, the cosmetic applicator comprising:
an applying member at a distal portion of the cosmetic applicator;
a shank at a proximal portion of the cosmetic applicator;
wherein the applying member comprises a first application face and a second application face opposite to the first application face;
wherein the applying member further comprises a first peripheral edge and a second peripheral edge opposite the first peripheral edge;
wherein the first peripheral edge and the second peripheral edge together bound the first application face and the second application face;
wherein at least one of the first application face and the second application face includes at least two bulged portions;
wherein the other of the at least one of the first application face and the second application face at least two depressed portions,
wherein the at least two depressed portions are defined by backside of the corresponding at least two bulged portions;
wherein the at least two bulged portions extend from one of the first peripheral edge and the second peripheral edge towards a central longitudinal axis of the applying member but do not extend up to a complete width of the applying member;
wherein the applying member is planar, except for the area near the first peripheral edge, where the applying member includes the at least two bulged portions and at least two depressed portions;
wherein the free edge of each of the at least two bulged portions define a portion of the first peripheral edge;
wherein at least a few portions of the first peripheral edge that is defined by the free edges of the at least two bulged portions, each said free edge exhibit a convex curvature in a plane perpendicular to the plane containing the second application face;
wherein other portions of the first peripheral edge align with the same plane as the second application face;
wherein the at least two bulged portions rise from the second application face in a direction orthogonal to a plane containing the second application face;
wherein each of at least two bulged portions elevates from the second application surface to reach a maximum height at the first peripheral edge;
wherein a maximum height of at least one bulged portion of the at least two bulged portions is greater than a maximum thickness of the applying member; and
wherein each of the at least two bulged portions has an arched structure, and each of the at least two depressed portions has concave bowl structure.
