Abstract: A mascara applicator is disclosed which includes a brush portion having a base and filament-like brush elements of molded plastic material. A plurality of the filament-like brush elements extend at right angles from the base and are integrally molded with the base. The brush elements may be of circular or elliptical cross sectional configuration of relatively fine dimensions. The elliptical cross section may have a major axis of 0.018 inches and a minor axis of 0.010 inches. The circular cross sectional tines can vary in diameter from approximately 0.014 inches at their bases to approximately 0.005 inches at their tips. In various modifications of the applicator, the base may also be equipped with a plurality of longitudinally spaced wells, with a plurality of longitudinally extending wells and with plurality of short tines.
