A mascara brush has bristles that are wider and stiffer than conventional "soft" bristles. The brush has a central core formed from a pair of twisted wire segments. A plurality of radially extending bristles is secured between the pair of twisted wire segments to form a brush portion at an end of the core. The bristles are secured in a quantity of from 4 to 27 bristles per turn of the twisted wire segments. Each of the bristles has a diameter of from 8 mil to 18 mil and is made from a thermoplastic elastomer material having a durometer of between 62D and 82D. Preferably, the bristles have a diameter of 10 mil to 13 mil, are made from an elastomeric polyester material having a durometer of about 72D and are secured in a quantity of from 7-14 bristles per turn. The material from which the bristles are made is softer than the material from which conventional bristles are made to ensure that the bristles will be supple enough to facilitate application and avoid irritation to the user.
