An applicator for combing keratinous fibers, in particular eyelashes and/or eyebrows, and/or for applying a composition on the keratinous fibers, in particular the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows, the applicator comprising a molded applicator member that comprises: • a core extending along a longitudinal axis; • teeth extending outwards from the core, the core presenting a greatest transverse dimension measured perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the core, that is less than or equal to a greatest length of the teeth; • at least one tooth extending towards the front and at least one tooth extending towards the rear of the applicator; and/or • at least one tooth extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the core and at least one tooth (18a, 18b) extending towards the front or towards the rear in oblique manner, with at least one tooth extending from a base of the tooth towards a free end of the tooth, and a length of the core on which the teeth extend being greater than a greatest transverse dimension of the envelope surface of the applicator member, the applicator comprising a set of teeth having directions of elongation forming angles (γ) relative to the longitudinal axis of the core, as measured relative thereto, in the range 0° to 90°, that decrease, increase, or increase and then decrease, on going towards the distal end of the applicator member. • a core extending along a longitudinal axis; • teeth extending outwards from the core, the core presenting a greatest transverse dimension measured perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the core, that is less than or equal to a greatest length of the teeth; • at least one tooth extending towards the front and at least one tooth extending towards the rear of the applicator; and/or • at least one tooth extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the core and at least one tooth (18a, 18b) extending towards the front or towards the rear in oblique manner, with at least one tooth extending from a base of the tooth towards a free end of the tooth, and a length of the core on which the teeth extend being greater than a greatest transverse dimension of the envelope surface of the applicator member, the applicator comprising a set of teeth having directions of elongation forming angles (γ) relative to the longitudinal axis of the core, as measured relative thereto, in the range 0° to 90°, that decrease, increase, or increase and then decrease, on going towards the distal end of the applicator member. • at least one tooth extending towards the front and at least one tooth extending towards the rear of the applicator; and/or • at least one tooth extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the core and at least one tooth (18a, 18b) extending towards the front or towards the rear in oblique manner, with at least one tooth extending from a base of the tooth towards a free end of the tooth, and a length of the core on which the teeth extend being greater than a greatest transverse dimension of the envelope surface of the applicator member, the applicator comprising a set of teeth having directions of elongation forming angles (γ) relative to the longitudinal axis of the core, as measured relative thereto, in the range 0° to 90°, that decrease, increase, or increase and then decrease, on going towards the distal end of the applicator member.
