A brush, such as a lipstick brush, includes an outer body or ferrule having a generally oval forward portion in which a feeder or nozzle is disposed, the nozzle projecting beyond the forward end of the forward portion, a tuft of hair, or other bristles, being secured in the space between the exterior of the nozzle and the inner wall of the forward portion of the body, the tuft extending axially outwardly beyond the forward end of the nozzle. The brush is made by applying glue to the rear portion of the tuft after insertion of the latter through the rear of the body to place the rear portion of the tuft within the forward portion of the body, and with the forward portion of the tuft projecting beyond the end of the body. With the glue still wet, the nozzle, with a point at its forward end, is then inserted through the rear of the body in coaxial relation therewith, the point and nozzle entering the rear portion of the tuft until the point and forward end of the nozzle extend beyond the forward end of the body, to secure the tuft between the nozzle and wall of the forward body portion. The point is then removed to provide an ubobstructed nozzle passage through which a fluent substance can be forced. |
