Abstract: A cosmetic case which substantially reduces soiling, has a cover hingedly connected to a base and closed with a locking member. A holder for cosmetic applicators is attached to the base and has a resilient, normally angular pocket for receiving and storing the application end of the applicator, with only the handle exposed. The holder is compressed when the case is closed. A light touch on the locking member permits the holder to push the cover open.A cosmetic applicator which substantially reduces soiling and which can be carried in a handbag, consists of a sliding sleeve attached to a body having a handle end and an application end.

Abstract: A cosmetic applicator for moldable soft materials which permits the ready formation of a fine point. The body of the applicator has a chamber in which a charge of such soft material is positioned. A piston cooperable with the body acts directly on the charge to force it out the open front end of the chamber into a cap having an interior conical surface. The conical surface and the interior surface of the chamber are sufficiently smooth and non-sticking so that the charge of moldable material is freely slidable within the chamber and readily releasable from the conical surface.
