A liquid applicator of claim 5, wherein the peripheral wall of the plug comprises on its inner side, at least one inwardly projected wall surface touching a top surface of the bottom wall of the plug, wherein the at least one inwardly projected wall surface results in the formation of a longitudinal furrow providing a path for the flow of the liquid content there through. 7. A liquid applicator of claim 6, wherein flow control unit comprises of a cylindrical wall portion, a conically tapered wall portion which tapers towards the top end, an annular projection at the bottom end, at least two flange discs on the cylindrical wall portion and wherein each of the two flange discs comprises a flat surface such that the flat surfaces do not completely circumscribe the cylindrical wall portion of the flow control unit. 8. A liquid applicator of claim 7, wherein each of the two flange discs of the flow control unit is in close proximity to the inner side of the peripheral wall of the plug. 9. A liquid applicator of claim 8, wherein the biasing member is enclosed within the cylindrical wall portion of the flow control unit and rests against the top surface of the cylindrical post of the bottom wall of the plug. 10. A liquid applicator of claim 9, wherein the collar holder comprises of a hollow cylindrical body having an open top end and an open bottom end, wherein the bottom end of the collar holder abuts on the flat surface of each of the two flange discs of the flow control unit. 11. A liquid applicator of claim 10, wherein the hollow cylindrical body of the collar holder comprises on its outer side, an annular flange at an appropriate position and an annular groove; wherein the annular groove further has a top end and a bottom end and wherein the annular groove is extended in a longitudinal direction up to a predetermined length. 12. A liquid applicator of claim 11 further comprises a collar attached to the collar holder, an application member attached to the collar, and a discharge barrel attached inside the collar holder for flow of the liquid content to the application member. 13. A liquid applicator of claim 12, wherein the actuation means includes threads on its inner side and a sealing flange above the threads; and wherein the actuation means is threadedly engaged to the mouth portion of the container. 14. A liquid applicator of claim 13, wherein in the closed position of the liquid applicator, the annular projection at the bottom end of the flow control unit sits in an annular furrow in the bottom wall of the plug to close the at least one aperture in a bottom surface of the bottom wall of the plug. 15. A liquid applicator of claim 14, wherein in the closed position of the liquid applicator, the top end of the annular groove of the collar holder abuts against an annular projection on an inner side of the peripheral wall of the plug. 16. A liquid applicator of claim 15 wherein, in the open position of the liquid applicator, the bottom end of the annular groove of the collar holder abuts against the annular projection on the inner side of the peripheral wall of the plug. 17.
