Abstract
The brush (1) includes a core (2) formed from a metal wire bent into a U and the branches of which are twisted to trap radial bristles (3) between them, the core (2) being fixed to the end of a wand (6). The branches of the core are twisted, turning to the left, to form turns which turn in the clockwise direction about the axis (X) of the core when progressing from the wand towards the end of the brush, whereas the bristles (3) of the brush form helical layers (S) rising from left to right in the area located between the core and an observer who holds the brush substantially vertical in front of him/her with its tip pointing upwards.
Claims74
A mascara brush comprising a twisted wire core having branches forming helical turns about an axis of said core and holding layers of radially extending bristles configured to apply mascara, said bristles comprising first bristles and second bristles differing from one another, wherein, when an observer views the mascara brush substantially vertically from the front, the helical turns rise from the left to the right.
A device for application of mascara product, comprising:
- a brush having a twisted wire core having branches forming helical turns about an axis of said core and holding layers of radially extending bristles, said bristles comprising first bristles and second bristles differing from one another, wherein, when an observer views the brush substantially vertically from the front, the helical turns rise from the left to the right, said device further including a receptacle containing the mascara product.
A device for storing and applying mascara, comprising:
- a container containing mascara and including an open end;
- and
- a stem, one end of said stem being attached to a cap and the other end being attached to a brush for applying mascara, said cap being adapted to close said open end when said brush is inserted into said container through said open end, said container being equipped with a wiper located in the vicinity of said open end of said container for wiping said brush when it is withdrawn from the container, and wherein said brush comprises a twisted wire core having branches forming helical turns about an axis of said core and holding layers of radially extending bristles, said bristles comprising first bristles and second bristles differing from one another, and further wherein, when an observer views the brush substantially vertically from the front, the helical turns rise from the left to the right.
A mascara application system comprising:
- a container containing mascara;
- and
- for insertion into said container, a brush for applying mascara comprising a twisted wire core having branches forming helical turns about an axis of said core and holding layers of radially extending bristles, said bristles comprising first bristles and second bristles differing from one another, wherein, when an observer views the brush substantially vertically from the front, the helical turns rise from the left to the right.
A method of making up the eyelashes, comprising:
- loading with mascara radially extending bristles of a mascara brush comprising a twisted wire core having branches forming helical turns about an axis of said core and holding layers of said radially extending bristles, said bristles comprising first bristles and second bristles differing from one another, wherein, when an observer views the brush substantially vertically from the front, the helical turns rise from the left to the right;
- bringing said loaded brush into engagement with said eyelashes;
- and
- passing said engaged brush through the eyelashes.
