DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A system for applying a product to eyelashes, comprising: a container configured to contain a product; an applicator including a stem, and an application element at one end of the stem, the application element including a core having substantially opposite facing sides, and at least one row of teeth, wherein the at least one row of teeth comprises a row of teeth alternately disposed on the substantially opposite facing sides of the core, wherein each of the alternately disposed teeth comprises a first end portion and a second end portion opposite to the first end portion along a tooth length, and wherein at least a portion of the core is located above the first end portion and below the second end portion when the application element is oriented such that the second end portion is above the first end portion.
2.
The system of claim 1, wherein an interstice is formed between upper portions of at least two consecutive teeth.
3.
The system of claim 2, wherein the interstice is configured such that eyelashes entering the interstice are capable of reaching the core.
4.
The system of claim 2, wherein the interstice is configured such that eyelashes entering the interstice are not capable of reaching the core.
5.
The system of claim 4, wherein the interstice is essentially in the form of a notch formed by upper portions of at least two consecutive teeth.
6.
The system of claim 5, wherein the notch is V-shaped.
7.
The system of claim 6, wherein a bottom of the notch is disposed at a distance of at least approximately 0.
2 mm from a top of the core.
8.
The system of claim 5, wherein a plurality of consecutive teeth have upper portions defining a plurality of notches between them.
9.
The system of claim 1, wherein at least two consecutive teeth have substantially contiguous roots.
10.
The system of claim 9, wherein the roots are substantially contiguous when the application element is viewed from the side.
11.
The system of claim 1, wherein at least two consecutive teeth have overlapping roots
