1 . An applying member for directly or indirectly mounting to a container body containing a cosmetic liquid and for applying the cosmetic liquid in the container body on an application target, comprising:
 a head formed with a toothed protrusion including at least one middle protrusion and at least one pair of side protrusions arranged adjacent to the middle protrusion, wherein   the amount by which the middle protrusion protrudes is larger than the amount by which the side protrusions protrude, and wherein   the width of a front end of the middle protrusion is larger or smaller than the width of a front end of the side protrusion and/or larger or smaller than the thickness at the front end of the side protrusion.   
     
     
         2 . An applying member in  claim 1 , wherein the protrusion amount and the thickness of the pair of side protrusions are identical to each other. 
     
     
         3 . An applying member in  claim 1 , wherein the width and the thickness of the side protrusion gradually decrease towards the front. 
     
     
         4 . An applying member in  claim 1 , wherein the toothed portion protrudes forward along an axial direction of the applying member. 
     
     
         5 . An applying member  claim 1 , wherein the toothed portion is arranged linearly symmetrically with respect to the central axis of the applying member. 
     
     
         6 . An applying member in  claim 1 , wherein the toothed portion consists of three protrusions: the middle protrusion and the pair of side protrusions.
