The bristles have a diameter of about 2.5. to 3.5 mils and are arranged in a spiral having plural turns, with more than 60 and up to about 120 bristles within each turn of the spiral arrangement. A method utilizes the improved brush to facilitate the application of mascaras in a wider range of viscosities.
