To provide an applicator with an application body that is nonabsorbent and can uniformly spread and apply an application liquid over the surface to be applied on without scraping the applied liquid during application. The application body includes a membranous part that is easily deformable in applying liquid, and a cavity part enclosed by the membranous part, and constructed such that when the applying surface of the membranous part comes into contact with the surface to be applied on, the contact surface of the membranous part fits closely following the surface to be applied on by the pressure of the membranous part acting onto the contact surface of the surface to be applied on.
