• Cosmetic product device comprising a reservoir and an applicator.
• the invention relates to cosmetic product devices, especially makeup devices, for example for the makeup of facial surfaces such as eyelids or lips.
• Makeup devices are conventionally known comprising a product reservoir, an applicator provided with a makeup tip, and a cap for closing the reservoir, to which the applicator is fastened so that the cap constitutes the handle of the applicator. applicator. It is therefore by holding the cover that the applicator is manipulated to make the makeup. But the hood is often bulky, which affects the accuracy of the makeup gesture.
• a makeup device in which the applicator is independent of the cover and comprises a handle.
• the reservoir has a location for receiving the applicator.
• the hood can be screwed to the tank when the applicator is received.
• the handle of the applicator is of reduced dimensions compared to those of the hood. The applicator therefore allows a make-up gesture of greater precision.
• the applicator is housed entirely inside the enclosure and closed by the cover. Makeup product can therefore spread out of the tank throughout the enclosure, including the handle of the applicator. This is particularly likely to happen when the device is carried in a purse or luggage. After a while, the manipulation of the device for makeup therefore poses a problem of cleanliness for the user.
• a cosmetic product device in particular makeup device, comprising a reservoir, a cover and an applicator independent of the cover and the reservoir, the cover having an internal skirt arranged to completely cover the applicator when the hood and the applicator are mounted on the tank.
• this skirt ensures the position of the applicator in the device in the closed state regardless of the movements that this device undergoes. Therefore one can give to the cover and the tank relatively large outer dimensions compared with those of the handle of the applicator, without risk that unintended movement of the applicator generates product leaks. We can therefore if necessary give the handle small dimensions to improve the accuracy of the make-up gesture while giving the tank large giving it a large capacity.

• the device comprises a seal arranged to extend between the applicator and the reservoir.
• the applicator has a face, for example frustoconical, oriented in a direction opposite to a longitudinal axis of the applicator and adapted to cooperate with the seal to effect the closure of the reservoir.
• the device comprises a wiper, preferably in one piece with the seal. This wiper makes it possible to eliminate the excess product on the nozzle when it leaves the tank. The realization of the wiper in one piece with the seal facilitates the manufacture and assembly of the device.
• the device comprises means independent of the cap to immobilize the applicator on the reservoir with the tip in the reservoir.
• Such means allow to keep in place the applicator on the reservoir when opening the cover and after the cover has been opened.
• the tank therefore remains sealed until the applicator has been removed from the tank.
• the cleanliness of the handling is therefore further improved. For example, if the user, after removing the cover, inadvertently overthrown the assembly formed by the reservoir receiving the applicator, no product leak is to be feared. He simply raises the tank with the applicator.

• the device is arranged so that the clamping takes place in a longitudinal direction of the applicator.
• the inner skirt is arranged to cooperate directly with the reservoir to clamp the applicator against the reservoir.

• the cover at least, is made of a transparent material.
• the user can at any time see by transparency that the internal parts of the cover, as well as the surface of the handle of the applicator, are perfectly clean. If a spot had been made on these parts during a previous makeup, it could detect this spot by transparency before his fingers come in contact with the stained part, and could thus handle the device with the necessary precautions. before removing the stain.
