10. The device as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the positioning system (2) has at least one secondary support (8) configured to be positioned on at least one secondary zone of the user’s body, other than the supporting zone (Z), in particular on the temples or the ears when the supporting zone is the root of the nose, or vice versa.
11. The device as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the connecting member (5) has an arm (10), in particular an arm that is articulated relative to the support (4).
12. The device as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the application system (3) has a plurality of applicator members (3a, 3b).
13. The device as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the application system (3) has at least one applicator member defining an application surface that is intended to come into contact with the application zone (P) and has a shape that corresponds exactly thereto.
14. The device as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the application system (3) is retractable, being configured to move forward or backward toward the application zone (P), manually or automatically.
15. The device as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, having a system for correcting the position thereof, in particular for verifying the horizontality thereof, comprising in particular an accelerometer (19), an image analysis system for looking for the presence of a part of the face, for example the eyes, or a spirit level.
16. The device as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, which is designed to be held on the nose or any other predefined zone of the head by clamping.
17. A method for positioning an application device (1) as claimed in any one of the preceding claims with respect to an application zone (P) of a user in order to apply a cosmetic composition (C), in particular a makeup or care composition, thereto, the device (1) having a positioning system (2) comprising at least one support (4) configured to be positioned on a predefined supporting zone (Z) of the user’s body and at least one connecting member (5) connected to an application system (3) for the composition, the support (4) having a customized shape, adapted to said supporting zone (Z), and/or the connecting member (5) having a customized shape and/or dimensions, adapted to the morphology of the user, the method comprising the following steps: a) said at least one support (4) is positioned on said predefined supporting zone
(Z), and b) said connecting member (5) is guided in movement relative to said supporting zone (Z), in particular along an imposed predefined trajectory, from the position in step a), in order to bring the application system (3) into contact with said application zone (P).
