Abstract (en)
A mascara applicator having specialised sections adapted for the application of mascara to the upper and lower eyelashes. The applicator preferably takes the form of a twisted wire core, with fibres trapped therein. The first section of the mascara applicator has an arcuate shape, which is designed to replicate the curvature of the eye, so that mascara can be applied to the upper eye lashes in a single stroke. The second section of the applicator has a linear shape, which is sized to allow precise application of mascara to the shorter lower lashes, using multiple strokes if desired. <IMAGE>
