An object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic applicator in which a surface of a wide, flat spatula projecting from a shaft includes an application portion formed from flock but the flock does not peel due to friction with a wiping part even after repeated use. In a cosmetic applicator in which electrostatic flocking is implemented on a surface of a spatula formed by forming an application portion in a flat plate shape, forming a root portion in a columnar shape attached to a shaft, and gradually deforming the columnar root portion and the flat application portion from the columnar shape into the plate shape, a projecting portion that projects outward beyond an outer diameter of the shaft is formed on the spatula between the root portion and the application portion, and a part not subjected to flocking is provided between the projecting portion and the root portion.
