Wire-core applicator having multi-material bristles

A mascara brush, comprising:

• an inner core of at least two wire portions twisted together along a longitudinal wire core axis (LD);
• and
• a bristle covering of bristles of plastic formed by filaments that are each held clamped between the at least two wire portions and that are configured at their free ends with a wedge-shaped or without a wedge-shaped bristle tip, wherein at least a part of the bristles has a bristle jacket formed of a first, softer material and a bristle core, which is connected to the bristle jacket, formed of a second, harder material, and these bristles, at least partially, have at their radially outward free ends a unilateral or bilateral oblique cut like a simple wedge, and comprise a wedge-shaped bristle tip with at least one cut face forming a wedge,
• wherein the bristle covering has a plurality of areas, sectors or zones, which are orientated to extend, in a circumferential direction of the bristle covering, transversely to the longitudinal wire core axis (LD), or, in the circumferential direction of the bristle covering, spiral-shaped to the longitudinal wire core axis (LD), or, in a longitudinal direction of the bristle covering, alongside of the longitudinal wire core axis (LD), and which respectively comprise at least one bristle row consisting of a plurality of adjacent bristles that each have an identically configured bristle tip, or are formed by such a bristle row, and which, in the circumferential direction and/or in the longitudinal direction of the bristle covering, are respectively disposed adjacent to one area or sector or zone which comprises a plurality of bristles each having a differently configured bristle tip.
