Abstract

Cosmetic applicators, and methods of making the same, are described. The applicators are selectively scored so as to enable an outer surface layer of the applicator to be removed, e.g., after the outer surface layer has been soiled, thus exposing a new and unsoiled underlying surface layer. The applicators are also selectively scored so as provide handles to allow the user to prevent the soiling of their hands.
