       2 . The applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the application surface and the support surface is formed as a flat surface. 
   
   
       3 . The applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the support surface is formed as a curved surface where a palmar surface of the finger can be housed. 
   
   
       4 . The applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the application surface is formed as a convex curved surface toward the target application surface. 
   
   
       5 . The applicator according to  claims 2 ,  3  or  4 , wherein a back surface side of the support surface is opened. 
   
   
       6 . The applicator according to  claims 2 ,  3  or  4 , wherein a covering portion for covering at least a part of a back surface of the finger in contact with the support surface is formed on the support surface. 
   
   
       7 . The applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein a wall portion is provided at least in a part of an outer periphery of the support surface. 
   
   
       8 . The applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the discharge port is opened in the vicinity of a tip end of a position including the application surface other than the support surface. 
   
   
       9 . The applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the discharge port is formed into a valve shape. 
   
   
       10 . The applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the discharge port is covered by a seal member that can be peeled off in use. 
   
   
       11 . The applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein a sphere is fitted by insertion into the discharge port. 
   
   
       12 . The applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the discharge port is covered by a reticulated member. 
   
   
       13 . The applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the application surface and the support surface are formed as integrated front and back surfaces. 
   
   
       14 . An application substance container comprising:
 a reservoir portion housing an application substance and having an opening; and   an applicator having an application surface to be in contact with a target application surface and a support surface to be in contact with a finger,   the applicator comprising:   a mounting port matching the opening;   a discharge port being opened in the application surface; and   a flow path guiding the application substance from the mounting port to the discharge port, penetrating between the application surface and the support surface.   
   
   
       15 . The application substance container according to  claim 14 , wherein the opening and the mounting port matching the opening are formed into shapes closely fitted into each other. 
   
   
       16 . The application substance container according to  claim 14 , wherein the application surface and the support surface are formed as integrated front and back surfaces. 
   
   
       17 . An application substance container comprising:
 a reservoir portion housing an application substance; and   an applicator being provided on a tip end side of the reservoir portion and having an application surface to be in contact with a target application surface and a support surface to be in contact with a finger;   the reservoir portion and the applicator being integrally formed with each other;   further comprising:   a discharge port being opened at a position in a surface including the application surface other than the support surface; and   a flow path guiding the application substance from the reservoir portion to the discharge port, penetrating between the application surface and the support surface.   
   
   
       18 . The application substance container according to  claim 17 , wherein the application surface and the support surface are formed as integrated front and back surfaces.
