A container and dispensing device for mascara has a small bottle (10) with an externally threaded neck (14) of reduced diameter into which a moulded plastic, one-piece separator member (30) is pressed. The device has an applicator screw cap (12) which screws onto the bottle neck (14) and which has an applicator rod (22) depending from an intermediate transverse sealing wall. The applicator rod (22) projects from the bottom of the screw cap (12), being surrounded by the walls of the separator member (30), and carries a brush (26) for disposition in the bottle (10). Above the bottom end of the separator member (30), is a doctor blade (32) which normally surrounds the junction of the brush (26) and the applicator rod (22). The doctor blade (32) has an annular sealing bead (36) which seals against the sealing wall of the screw cap (12), whereby the separator member (30) is sealed and maintains the applicator rod (22) in a clean condition. The orifice (46) of the doctor blade (32) can have numerous different configurations to effect different wiping effects on the brush (26) as the latter is withdrawn for use.
