As of May 2026, SamBound, a Cosmetic Packaging Manufacturer, has developed 28 zinc alloy die-cast lip gloss applicator tips.

The double-curve heart-shaped profile helps conform to the lip surface and creates a softer spreading transition. The central longitudinal product groove can hold the formula in a concentrated manner, making product pickup and release more continuous during application. The side indentation provides a more flexible contact angle, making it easier to handle the cupid’s bow, mouth corners, and edge transition areas. The narrowed lower end further enhances local detailing and directional control.

Product Name: Curved Spoon-Shaped Zinc Alloy Lip Gloss Applicator Tip
Size: Width 5 mm × Height 20.5 mm
Advantages: This applicator tip adopts a single-side curved spoon-surface contour design, allowing it to fit the lip curvature more naturally during application and making it smoother and more stable when pushing the formula outward from the center of the lips. The oval inner groove on the front serves as the main product-holding area, allowing the formula to stay concentrated and release gradually during sliding, reducing excessive buildup at one time. The wrapped outer edge helps control the spreading range of the formula for more even application, while the rounded bottom is more suitable for soft pressing and transition treatment.
