As a solution, a makeup brush bristle material is provided that comprises S-twisted or Z-twisted core-sheath complex monofilaments whose core part is constituted by synthetic resin A and sheath part is constituted by synthetic resin B that differs in type from synthetic resin A, characterized in that the cross-section of the core-sheath complex monofilaments in the direction orthogonal to the axis of fiber has a cocoon shape.

Abstract: An elastic body for holding a cosmetic, which can suppress that the cosmetic included in the elastic body for holding a cosmetic is taken out from the elastic body in a large amount at a time at the initial stage of use, wherein the elastic body for holding a cosmetic has a three-dimensional structure, and at least a dense fibrous surface layer and a sparse fibrous substrate; a cosmetic-containing elastic body in which a cosmetic is included in the elastic body for holding cosmetic; and a cosmetic article having the cosmetic-containing elastic body.

Abstract: Provided is a stretchable cosmetic sheet which includes a non-woven fabric, an elastomer film, and a release layer, wherein fibers in the non-woven fabric are adhered to the elastomer film, the release layer is formed on a surface of the elastomer film, and the cosmetic sheet does not tend to stick to members such as a cutting blade or a storage container when contacting the same. Also provided is a cosmetic article which comprises a storage container for containing the cosmetic sheet, wherein the cosmetic sheet is contained in the storage container.
