French term or phrase: raisin (machine rouge à lèvres)
we'e dealing with a lipstick machine here: the 'raisin' looks to be essentially the mouldform shaping the actual red stuff in the finished lipsticks... or the red stuff itself... ideas appreciated.

"Refroidissement des moules. But: permettre le refroidissement du *raisin* dosé avant l'opération de picking"

and further on

"Refondre le cratère formé lors du refroidissement de la partie supérieure du produit coulé dans le moule souple afin de favoriser la tenue du *raisin* dans le mécanisme"

and finally, the picking operation is carried out

"pour permettre l'insertion des *raisins* dans les mécanismes après leurs refroidissements..."

cheers and MTIA

Situé dans la base de l’étui, il fonctionne à l’inverse des mécanismes classiques. «Quand on tourne la bague (Revealer), le raisin reste immobile tandis que la bague descend et permet de découvrir le raisin (1).

Pour ma part, j’aime :
- le tube original
- l’odeur
- le raisin bien biseauté
- l’aspect satiné mais discret du rouge personnel

globule, lump, pellet, glob, ball


Explanation:
It sounds as though the "grape" is a rough ball of raw material ready to be moulded into the required red cylinder. Sounds grotesque!
