What is claimed is: 1. An applicator of a cosmetic product, typically designed to cooperate with a neck of a holder containing said cosmetic product, for example mascara, comprising a head forming a means of manually gripping said applicator, an axial stem and an application means, said axial stem
What is claimed is: 1. An applicator of a cosmetic product, typically designed to cooperate with a neck of a holder containing said cosmetic product, for example mascara, comprising a head forming a means of manually gripping said applicator, an axial stem and an application means, said axial stem being attached to said head by its upper end, and to said application means by its lower end, said axial stem and said application means presenting an axial direction, characterized in that it comprises: a) a means of rotation of said axial stem, said means of rotation comprising a fixed part attached to said head, and a rotating part attached in rotation to said axial stem, b) a manual means of either activation or deactivation of said means of rotation, and in that, c) said head comprises an outer shell forming said means of manually gripping, and comprising a side skirt, and d) said manual actuation means comprises a moving element capable of being moved manually along an axial path with respect to said outer shell, said moving element typically forming an upper portion of said applicator, so as to form a rotary applicator, said axial stem and said application means attached to said axial stem being capable of being rotated in said axial direction, especially when a user of said applicator applies said cosmetic product, typically on the eyelashes, by manually gripping said head, and so that said moving element can be moved axially by an axial pressure typically exerted with the index finger in order to start said rotation, whereas said side skirt is held manually between the thumb and the middle finger, so that at all times said axial pressure can be exerted on said moving element. 2. The applicator according to claim 1 in which said moving element is associated to a recoil spring, so that the rotation is only started when said axial pressure is exerted. 3. The applicator according to claim 2 in which said moving element forms either all or part of said upper portion. 4. The applicator according to claim 3 in which said moving element forms a rigid part, said rigid part cooperating with said side skirt at its upper end. 5. The applicator according to claim 3 in which said moving element forms either a semi-rigid or flexible part comprising a flexible arch, said semi-rigid or flexible part cooperating with said side skirt at its upper end. 6. The applicator according to claim 5 in which said side skirt defines an axial cavity in which is housed all or part of said means of rotation, said axial cavity being blocked off at its upper part by said moving element or said rigid or semi-rigid part, said moving element or said rigid or semi-rigid part being attached to said side skirt at its upper end typically by the cooperation of ratchet means. 7. The applicator according to claim 6 in which said means of rotation comprises an electrical motor, said electrical motor being powered through the use of an electrical circuit with an electrical current supplied by an electrical energy source, said electrical motor comprising a drive shaft facing in said axial direction. 8. The applicator according to claim 7 in which said manual actuation means comprises a switch for said electrical current. 9. The applicator according to claim 8 in which said means of rotation comprises a speed reducer coupled to said drive shaft, in order to have, for said axial stem and said application means, at least one predetermined speed of rotation with respect to said head. 10. The applicator according to claim 9 in which said means of rotation comprises a upper coupling unit, said upper coupling unit being attached in rotation to either said drive shaft or to said speed reducer, said upper coupling unit being attached to a lower coupling unit attached to said axial stem. 11. An applicator according to claim 10 in which said side skirt comprises: a) an upper part forming an upper cavity of internal diameter D1, designed to house said energy source, b) a central part forming a central cavity of internal diameter D2<D1, designed to house said motor, and said speed reducer, c) an intermediate part of internal diameter D3<D 2, coaxial to said upper or lower coupling unit, so as to center said axial stem with respect to said head, in said axial direction, and d) a lower part, of internal diameter D4>D3, designed to hold an internal thread in order to attach, typically by screwing, said applicator to said neck, said neck comprising an external thread. 12. The applicator according to claim 11 in which said energy source is an electric battery, said electric battery being circular with a diameter typically ranging from approximately 10 mm to 20 mm, and flat with an axial thickness typically ranging from approximately 2 mm to 8 mm. 13. The applicator according to claim 6 in which said means of rotation comprises a mechanical device comprising a spring, said mechanical device capable of being wound up manually. 14. The applicator according to claim 13 in which said mechanical device comprises a spring forming a spiral whose central end is attached to said axial stem, via a central hub facing in said axial direction.
