         3 . The tip applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least two functional surfaces of the plurality of functional surfaces are flocked surfaces having a plurality of small fibers formed thereon by means of flocking, any one of the at least two functional surfaces having the fibers having a first length, and the other having the fibers having a second length relatively longer than the first length. 
     
     
         4 . The tip applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the flocked surfaces and the non-flocked surfaces of the plurality of functional surfaces are arranged alternately in a circumferential direction of the body. 
     
     
         5 . The tip applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein at least any one of the plurality of functional surfaces comprises both of a flocked portion having a plurality of small fibers formed thereon by means of flocking and a non-flocked portion. 
     
     
         6 . The tip applicator according to  claim 5 , wherein the flocked portion is located closer to a free end portion of the body than the non-flocked portion. 
     
     
         7 . The tip applicator according to  claim 5 , wherein the at least one functional surface has at least one boundary line defining the flocked portion and the non-flocked portion, and the boundary line is any one selected from a linear line, curved line, oval, circle, closed loop, and combined shapes thereof. 
     
     
         8 . The tip applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein each functional surface becomes small in width from one end portion thereof toward the other end portion thereof in a longitudinal direction of the body. 
     
     
         9 . The tip applicator according to  claim 8 , wherein the two functional surfaces adjacent to each other have relatively large portions in width located opposite to each other in the longitudinal direction of the body. 
     
     
         10 . The tip applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of functional surfaces have the same sectional shapes as each other. 
     
     
         11 . The tip applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least two functional surfaces of the plurality of functional surfaces are made of different materials from each other. 
     
     
         12 . A tip applicator for applying a cosmetic substance to a user's skin, comprising:
 a body having a given shape; and   a first functional surface and a second functional surface formed on the side periphery of the body in a longitudinal direction of the body,   wherein at least a portion of the first functional surface and the second functional surface has different widths from each other along a direction vertical to the longitudinal direction of the body.   
     
     
         13 . The tip applicator according to  claim 12 , wherein the first functional surface and the second functional surface are adjacent to each other on the side periphery of the body. 
     
     
         14 . The tip applicator according to  claim 12 , wherein at least a portion of the first functional surface is formed of a plane. 
     
     
         15 . The tip applicator according to  claim 14 , wherein the plane is a slant surface inclined toward an imaginary linear line parallel with the longitudinal direction of the body. 
     
     
         16 . The tip applicator according to  claim 14 , wherein at least a portion of the second functional surface is formed of a plane, and the plane is a slant surface inclined toward an imaginary linear line parallel with the longitudinal direction of the body. 
     
     
         17 . The tip applicator according to  claim 12 , wherein the first functional surface is a flocked surface having a plurality of small fibers formed thereon by means of flocking, and the second functional surface comprises both of a flocked portion having a plurality of small fibers formed thereon by means of flocking and a non-flocked portion. 
     
     
         18 . The tip applicator according to  claim 12 , wherein the body further comprises a third functional surface formed on the opposite side to the first functional surface and a fourth functional surface formed on the opposite side to the second functional surface, and the first functional surface, the second functional surface, the third functional surface and the fourth functional surfaces are sequentially arranged along the circumferential direction of the body. 
     
     
         19 . The tip applicator according to  claim 12 , wherein the first functional surface and the second functional surface become small in width from one end portion thereof toward the other end portion thereof in the longitudinal direction of the body, and the first functional surface and the second functional surface have relatively large portions in width located opposite to each other in the longitudinal direction of the body. 
     
     
         20 . (canceled)
