         2 . The tip applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the capture amount control portion includes a capture recess formed in at least a portion of the application surface in order to increase the capture amount of the cosmetic. 
     
     
         3 . The tip applicator of  claim 2 , wherein the capture recess is formed to extend along a length direction of the application portion from another side of the application portion to the one side of the application portion, and at least one of a depth and a width of the capture recess varies along the length direction of the application portion. 
     
     
         4 . The tip applicator of  claim 3 , wherein the capture recess has a depth which becomes shallower or a width which becomes narrower as it goes along a length direction from a distal end of the application portion from the support portion to a proximal end of the application portion from the support portion. 
     
     
         5 . The tip applicator of  claim 3 , wherein the capture recess is formed plurally, and the plurality of the capture recesses are disposed to be spaced apart from each other along a width direction of the application portion. 
     
     
         6 . The tip applicator of  claim 2 , wherein the capture recess is formed to extend along a width direction of the application portion from another side to one side of the application portion, the capture recess is formed plurally, and the plurality of the capture recesses have their own depths which become shallower or their own widths which become narrower as it goes along a length direction of the application portion. 
     
     
         7 . The tip applicator of  claim 2 , wherein the capture recess is formed in a shape of an ellipse or closed curve with a center of the application portion as a center thereof along a side surface of the application portion, and the capture recess is formed plurally and the plurality of the capture recesses have their own depths which become shallower or their own widths which become narrower as it goes along a height direction of the application portion. 
     
     
         8 . The tip applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the support portion includes a first portion which comes into contact with a contact surface formed on another surface of the application portion to support the application portion; and a second portion which extends from the first portion to support the first portion. 
     
     
         9 . The tip applicator of  claim 8 , wherein a widthwise length of the application portion gradually increases as it goes along the length direction of the application portion from one end portion to another end portion of the application portion, and the widthwise length gradually decreases as it goes from a first point, and wherein the first point is formed between the one end portion and the other end portion of the application portion. 
     
     
         10 . The tip applicator of  claim 8 , wherein a sum of a thickness of the application portion and a thickness of the first portion gradually increases as it goes along the length direction of the application portion from one end portion to another end portion of the application portion, and the sum gradually decreases as it goes from a second point, and wherein the second point is formed between the one end portion and the other end portion of the application portion. 
     
     
         11 . The tip applicator of  claim 8 , wherein the application portion is integrally formed with or detachably coupled with the first portion. 
     
     
         12 . The tip applicator of  claim 8 , wherein the first portion has a rigidity enough to prevent the application portion from being bent. 
     
     
         13 . The tip applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the support portion is formed with a metal material, and the application portion is formed with a material having a flexibility. 
     
     
         14 . The tip applicator of  claim 1 , wherein a horizontal cross section or a lateral cross section of the application portion has a streamlined shape or curved shape. 
     
     
         15 . The tip applicator of  claim 2 , wherein the capture amount control portion is provided with a flocking surface which is formed on at least a portion of the application surface, and on which a plurality of small fibers are attached by a flocking process. 
     
     
         16 . A tip applicator for capturing and applying cosmetic on skin, comprising:
 an application portion including an application surface for capturing and applying the cosmetic on a skin of a user, the application surface being formed in a surface of the application portion; and   a support portion which is connected to one side of the application portion to support the application portion,   wherein the application surface includes at least two surfaces which are different from each other in terms of a capture amount of the cosmetic.   
     
     
         17 . The tip applicator of  claim 16 , wherein the at least two surfaces are provided with a first surface formed along a length direction from another side to one side of the application portion, and a second surface connected to the first surface and having a capture amount of the cosmetic different from that of the first surface. 
     
     
         18 . The tip applicator of  claim 17 , wherein the first surface has a capture amount of the cosmetic greater than that of the second surface. 
     
     
         19 . The tip applicator of  claim 18 , wherein the first surface has a capture amount of the cosmetic which gradually decreases as it goes along a length direction from the other side to the one side of the application portion.
