An applicator for applying a cosmetic to eyelashes, comprising a shaft section or at least a coupling section and an applicator section, the applicator section being configured as an internally hollow cage for accommodating the cosmetic, which is substantially or completely closed in the circumferential direction, characterized in that the cage, in the direction perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, has a triangular cross section and comprises on at least one of its circumferential tips a number of passages that communicate with the interior of the cage and into which the eyelashes insert themselves during application. |

1. An applicator for applying a cosmetic to eyelashes, comprising:
a coupling section; and an applicator section joined to the coupling section, the applicator section being configured as an internally hollow cage for accommodating the cosmetic, wherein the cage is substantially or completely closed in a circumferential direction and a proximal end face of the applicator section joined to the coupling section is completely closed, and the cage, in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the applicator section, has a triangular cross section; wherein the cage is formed by three carrier members that are attached to the closed proximal end face and extend in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the applicator section, with adjacent carrier members connected to each other through a plurality of spaced-apart ribs which form passages between the ribs, with each of the ribs extending from a base point on one carrier member, through an apex, to a base point on the adjacent carrier member; and wherein a width of each rib measured in the direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the applicator section decreases from the base points towards the apex wherein a spacing of two ribs adjacent to one another in the direction parallel to the longitudinal axis is greater than the width of each of the two adjacent ribs in the direction parallel to the longitudinal axis, by at least a factor of 1.5. |
