Curved longitudinal profile mascara brush

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A mascara brush comprising: A) a twisted wire core securing bristles extending generally radially therefrom; B) the bristles trimmed to define applicator bristles and bristles extending in an asymmetric longitudinal profile comb deployed along the core, the applicator bristles having a substantially uniform length and bristles defining the profile comb having a different, longer substantially uniform length; and C) the core curved in a plane passing through the profile comb, whereby bristles extending from the convex side of the curved core diverge and separate toward their ends and bristles extending from the concave side of the curved core converge and close together toward their tips.
2.
A mascara brush as defined in claim 1 wherein the profile comb extends from the concave side of the curved twisted wire core.
3.
A mascara brush as defined in claim 2 wherein the profile comb defines a flat comb surface across its width.
4.
A mascara brush as defined in claim 3 wherein the bristles defining the profile comb have a length approximately two times the length of the applicator bristles.
5.
A mascara brush as defined in claim 4 wherein the profile comb tapers inwardly toward its flat comb surface.
6.
A cosmetics brush as defined in claim 5 wherein the flat comb surface has a width approximately equal to the length of applicator bristles.
7.
A mascara brush as defined in claim 5 wherein the twisted wire core has a distal end, and the bristles defining the profile comb are further trimmed adjacent the distal end to define a detail pad descending angularly from the flat comb surface toward the distal end of the twisted core.
8.
A mascara brush as defined in claim 5 wherein the bristles extend from the twisted wire core along a length of approximately one inch, and the curve of the twisted wire core has a radius of approximately one inch.
9.
A mascara brush as defined in claim 8 wherein the twisted wire core has approximately sixteen turns per inch and the applicator bristles and bristles defining the longitudinal profile comb are formed of single strands passing through the twisted wire core at a bristle strand count in the range of 45 to 65 bristle strands per turn
