Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9500050A1] A brush for applying make-up, particularly mascara, including a shaft provided at one end with a core (6) formed by two metal wires (7, 8) twisted together and having bristles (9) squeezed therebetween such that they extend transversely to the core axis. At least some of the brush bristles (9) have an L-shaped cross-section so that the portion of each bristle (9) which is squeezed between said twisted core wires is flattened either outwards when the arms of the L are pushed apart, or inwards when they are pressed together. In either case, the stiffness of the bristle is reduced and the spacing between the bristle and the wire helix is advantageously increased, whereby a random distribution of bristle cross-sections is achieved.
