ABSTRACT:
An applicator for the application of mascara to the eyelashes is disclosed having a central core formed from a twisted wire and having a brush section at one end of the central core. The brush section comprises a plurality of regularly disposed and radially extending bristles which are disposed in a helical array by the twisted wire. At least some of the bristles have reduced length and are arranged so as to form a substantially helical groove through the brush section. A process in accordance with the present invention includes the steps of providing an applicator having radially extending bristles and removing at least a portion of at least some of the bristles so as to reduce the length of at least some of the bristles. After the desired portions of the bristles have been removed, or cut, the core (or just the brush section) is rotated about one hundred eighty degrees to about four hundred eighty degrees such that the bristles having portions removed therefrom form a helical groove through the brush section.
