  • Method for color identification of cosmetic products
    Patent number: 6202386
    Abstract: A color identifier for use with a contained cosmetic product comprises a cosmetic grade foam swab for retaining a portion of the cosmetic product and a body for associating the swab with the cosmetic product. The body generally comprises a base for supporting the swab in a region adjacent the cosmetic product's container. Further, the body comprises a translucent enclosure, through which the swab is viewable, for maintaining the swab in place upon the base. A patch of adhesive is utilized for fixed application of the color identifier's body to the cosmetic product's container. In use, a portion of the cosmetic product is applied to the swab, which is then enclosed within the body. Because the body is provided with a translucent area, the portion of the cosmetic product applied to the swab is viewable notwithstanding its sealed enclosure within the body.
