A cosmetic applicator brush 10v, suitable for applying mascara, includes a plurality of discs 20v assembled relative to one another, each disc 20v having a body 22v with a plurality of bristles and/or combs 26 extending radially from it. Adjacent discs are maintained at an angular relationship with respect to one another independent of a disc specific keying element. Each disc body 22v has two wire passages 32 with a wire 36 extending through the passages of adjacent discs 20v, the amount of twist in the wire defining the angular relationship between the discs. Alternately the discs may have a projection 28extending from the body of each which in use interacts with an indentation to maintain an angular relationship between adjacent discs.
