Claim:
A mascara applicator device comprising: a receptacle containing mascara adapted for eyelashes and having an opening; and a mascara applicator comprising a wand extending between first and second ends, said first end bearing a brush and said second end being secured to a closure cap forming a handle, said wand extending along a main axis at least in the vicinity of the brush, said brush being provided with a plurality of bristles distributed symmetrically relative to said main axis, wherein the bristles of said brush are all of the same length and are oriented so as to diverge substantially from a central point located substantially at said first end of the wand, in all directions in space away from the second end of the wand, no bristle being provided within a conical space through which the wand extends, the conical space having said central point as an apex and having an apex angle which is less than about 130°, and wherein the brush is disposed such that said brush is located inside the mascara when the opening of the receptacle is closed by the closure cap, whereby the brush facilitates the separation of the eyelashes from one another right from their base, and whereby the brush produces an optimum coating of the eyelashes.
