A wand-type applicator for liquid cosmetic material includes a first housing part carrying an elongated wand of light-transmissive material with a fixed end mounted in or to the housing part and projecting outwardly therefrom to a free end remote from the housing part. The free end carries a pad of absorbent material or other structure for retaining a cosmetic liquid stored or contained in a reservoir in a second housing part which is formed as a vial that is disengageably matable with the first housing part. A selectively-activatable light source such as an LED and an associated power source is mounted in the first housing part so that light emitted from the activated LED enters the fixed end of the wand and diffuses through the wand toward its surface, to thereby illuminate the wand from the interior thereof.
