Abstract
In a mascara brush, with a plurality of bristles fixed in place between two twisted wire segments and extending to all sides away from these twisted wire segments, the wire segments being surrounded by a plastic coating, it is provided, for the purpose of achieving increased liquid absorbing capacity, that the plastic coating consists of a fluid absorbent, in particular open-cell, foamed material. It may further be provided that the foamed coating is roughened or fringed to such an extent that the bristles are formed by this roughening or fringing.
