The disclosure relates to a process for coating keratin fibers, comprising the application to the keratin fibers of at least one coat of at least one dry-applicable composition presented in the form of a stick. The disclosure also relates to a process for coating keratin fibers, comprising placing the fibers in contact with at least part of the surface of a stick of a dry-applicable composition, and causing a relative displacement between the surface of the stick and the fibers so as to bring about erosion of the composition and its application to the fibers in the form of a deposit of at least one coat.
