The invention relates to an applicator, especially for pigmented liquids, including a container for the liquid, open at one end, but closable by means of a handle which can be fitted on its open end. The handle element carries a shaft and on the free end thereof is provided an overhanging capillary applicator tip. In order to ensure, on the one hand, in such an instrument, a reliable feed of the applicator tip with the liquid and, on the other hand, to prevent an unintentional emergence, especially splashing, of liquid when the instrument is open, it is proposed, according to the principle of the invention, to close the liquid container by means of an inset element, which has transverse slots forming capillary channels, which slots on the one hand reliably convey the liquid to the applicator tip and, on the other hand, prevent excessive issue of liquid.
