8. A cosmetics applicator,
wherein the applicator has an internal body having a shape comprising a rounded end section and an opposing tapered end section, wherein the rounded end section is integrally formed with the tapered end section, wherein the tapered end section has a pointed end,
wherein the body is formed from a material that is porous and resiliently deformable,
wherein the rounded end section and the tapered end section are covered with a flexible and non-porous exterior coating that conforms to the shape of the body and is integrally formed with the material forming the body,
