1. An adjustable applicator comprising:
an applicator head comprising at least two applicator members;
wherein the at least two applicator members comprise a first applicator member and a second applicator member;
wherein the first applicator member has a first proximal end and a first distal end and the second applicator member has a second proximal end and a second distal end, wherein the first and second distal ends are fixed relative to each other;
wherein each of the first applicator member and the second applicator member comprises a support body;
wherein the support body of the first applicator member comprises four longitudinal projecting strips and the support body of the second applicator member comprises four longitudinal strips including an outer surface facing away from a central longitudinal axis of the applicator head;
wherein a plurality of application elements extends out from the outer surface of the support body of each of the first applicator member and the second applicator member;
wherein the first applicator member is mounted at least in part within a hollow interior of the second applicator member, each of the plurality of longitudinal projecting strips being positioned in one of four slots of the second applicator member each slot defined between two different longitudinal strips of the four longitudinal strips;
wherein the distal ends of the first applicator member and the second applicator member are fixed to one another in the hollow interior of the second applicator member such that the distal ends of the first applicator member and the second applicator member do not move independently of each other;
wherein the second applicator member is capable of assuming at least a first configuration and a second configuration, and wherein the first configuration corresponds to a radially retracted position of the second applicator member and the second configuration corresponds to a radially extended position of the second applicator member wherein a plurality of protrusions of each one of the four longitudinal strips of the second applicator member extends into a respective one of the slots when the first applicator member is displaced axially toward a proximal end of the adjustable applicator to create a mechanical interference
wherein in the radially retracted position of the second applicator member, the applicator head has a first maximum diameter and in the radially extended position of the second applicator member, the applicator head has a second maximum diameter; and
wherein the second maximum diameter is greater than the first maximum diameter.
