Claim Text:
1. A method for producing a cosmetic product applicator comprising: dipping at least some of different free ends of elongate portions of fibers of a brush into a second material of a lobe arranged at an end of each of the elongate portions in order to coat each free end of the elongate portions with the second material to form the lobe, the brush comprising a core and the fibers projecting from the core, the fibers comprising the elongate portions made of a first material and the lobe arranged at an end of each of the elongate portions, the lobe being made of the second material coating the ends of the elongate portions, the brush additionally comprising a series of angular sectors extending radially around the core, each angular sector comprising at least one fiber, and wherein, during dipping, the different free ends of the elongate portions are immersed sector by sector in a tray containing the second material; moving the brush during dipping the elongate portions, in translation parallel to a free surface of the second material contained in the tray at a speed of movement in translation, and simultaneously driving the brush in rotation about a longitudinal axis (X) of the core at a speed of rotation, the speed of movement and the speed of translation being such that an instantaneous speed of a free end of an elongate portion relative to the core is equal to the speed of movement in translation of the brush relative to the tray, such that the brush rolls in the tray.
