Abstract: A device for applying a liquid or gel-like product, in particular a cosmetic product, comprising a rotatably supported ball serving as an applicator element, and a storage chamber for the product to be applied on a side of the ball in opposite relationship to an applicator side of the ball for loading the ball on its side in opposite relationship to its applicator side, wherein the storage chamber has a feed opening for the product to be applied. A vent opening is disposed behind the feed opening as viewed from the ball for venting the storage chamber.

Abstract: A process for the production of leads which contain pigments and/or effect substances, wherein pigments and/or effect substances are mixed with fillers and further lead ingredients, the resulting material is homogenised and then extruded to provide extrusions of predetermined diameter, wherein then the extruded portions are dried optionally after adjustment of the extrusion length to a constant weight, wherein at least a proportion of the pigment and/or effect material is brought into contact with a polysaccharide solution and an aqueous solution of a precipitation agent prior to admixing of the further ingredients, the mixture is dried and then optionally ground.

Abstract: A container (10) for substances in powder form, in particular cosmetics in powder form. The container (10) has a closure (40) with at least one closure portion (41) on which there is disposed a stem insert (50) for an applicator element (80), the stem insert being in the interior of the container in the closed condition, sufficiently accurate loading of the applicator element (80) with the substance in powder form can be advantageously guaranteed substantially independently of the filling level of the container (10). The closure (40) of the container (10) has a cavity (60; 61) containing at least one freely movable insert portion (70). By virtue of the closed container (10) being shaken, the freely movable insert portion (70) produces force pulses for removing excess substance or amounts of substance which cling loosely to the applicator element (80). Only the amount of substance necessary for an application remains on the applicator element (80).

Abstract: A cosmetic pencil which comprises a sleeve body which in its interior has a longitudinally extending cavity which is open outwardly by way of at least one opening, and a lead of a cosmetic material which is arranged in the cavity. It is further provided that the lead is arranged in the sleeve body at least portion-wise in spaced relationship in the peripheral and/or longitudinal direction with respect to the inside wall of the cavity of the sleeve body, forming an empty space.

Abstract: A pigment-bearing gel material based on lipids and color pencils containing same, which is characterized in that it has a combination of oil-soluble alkylcellulose whose alkyl residues can be straight-chain or branched and preferably have have between 1 and 10 carbon atoms, an alkylgalactomannan polysaccharide whose alkyl residue preferably has between 1 and 10 carbon atoms and a salt which was obtained from a long-chain fatty acid with preferably between 16 and 24 carbon atoms and a fatty acid amidoalkyldialkylamine of a fatty acid with between 16 and 24 carbon atoms and processes for the production of same.

Abstract: An applicator device comprising a casing, a storage compartment for a product to be applied, an application element comprising a ball held rotatably in a ball holder, a sealing element which is displaceable along a predetermined path between a first position with respect to the casing in which it bears sealingly against the ball and a second position with respect to the casing in which it releases the ball for application of the product, and an increased pressure-producing device for producing an increased pressure in the storage compartment, wherein the sealing element is coupled in a predetermined portion of the path to the increased pressure-producing device. The sealing element is independent of the increased pressure-producing device in a first portion of the path which is delimited by the first position.

Abstract: A makeup device comprising a first region for storing a cosmetic product and a second region for loading an applicator with the cosmetic product, wherein the second region is separated from the first region.

Abstract: A casing for at least partially receiving an applicator for cosmetic products.
