Description: An apparatus for dispensing and applying mascara. The device comprises an elongated cylindrical main body having an interior mascara container portion characterized by an axially displaceable reservoir. An applicator attached to an elongated rod can-be used to apply the mascara to eyelashes. In accordance with a key aspect of the invention, the length of the elongated rod is chosen so that the applicator can reach the bottom and lower interior surfaces of the reservoir when the reservoir has reached the limit of its axial travel within the container. Excess mascara is scraped from both ends of the product container by scraper elements depending from both the elongated rod and the reservoir.
