1. An applicator for a cosmetic product, comprising a first part and a second part that extend along a direction of longitudinal extension from a proximal end to a free distal end of the applicator,
the first part and the second part being configured to form parts for applying the cosmetic,
one of the parts is mounted mobile in translational with respect to the other of said parts; and while the first part and the second part are engaged such that the first part and the second part are positionable between a retracted position and a deployed position at least during the application of the cosmetic product,
wherein, in both the retracted position and the deployed position, the first part and the second part together define an interior cavity within the applicator for holding the cosmetic product, wherein the interior cavity has a first volume when the first part and the second part are in the retracted position and a second volume when the first part and the second part are in the deployed position,
each of the first and second parts comprises at least two longitudinal branches, the at least two longitudinal branches of the first part being circumferentially alternated with the at least two longitudinal branches of the second part, the branches of the first part and the branches of the second part at least partially defining the interior cavity; and,
each of the first and second parts comprises at least one opening arranged between two consecutive branches, the opening enabling both a passage of a branch of the other part and a distribution of the cosmetic product through the opening from the interior cavity.
