Mascara brush

Abstract

The present invention provides a mascara brush, which is manufactured through a double injection molding process, thus reducing production costs and enhancing workability and productivity. The mascara brush of the present invention includes a bristle part ( 120 ), for applying mascara to eyelashes, and a comb part ( 130 ) for tidying the eyelashes. The bristle part has a cylindrical brush body ( 110 ) and bristles ( 121 ), which are formed around the brush body through an injection molding process. The comb part is formed such that part of the comb part is embedded in the brush body. The bristle part and the comb part are formed through double injection molding. Furthermore, each bristle may have branches to thus have a snowflake shape, thus increasing its ability to absorb mascara.
