Abstract: A method of removing makeup from skin of humans comprising providing a system comprising: multiple, individual conical elements having an at least adsorbing surface; at least some of the individual conical elements each seated in contact with a respective underlying next individual conical element as an upper and a lower pair of individual conical elements; contacting a tip of an uppermost individual conical element with skin adjacent to an area of skin having makeup thereon; moving the tip into contact with makeup; wiping off and at least adsorbing excess makeup onto the tip; and removing the uppermost individual conical element with makeup at least adsorbed thereon from contact with the skin and from seating with the next individual conical element to expose an at least adsorbing surface of the next individual conical element without any makeup being present on the exposed surface of the next individual conical element.

Abstract: A system provides individual makeup removing elements. The system has multiple, individual conical elements having an at least adsorbing surface. There are at least some of the individual conical elements seated in contact with an underlying next individual conical element as an upper and a lower pair of individual conical elements. Each upper individual conical element is separable from the lower individual conical element without damage to a next lower individual conical element. Each individual conical element is capable of at least adsorbing 0.1 grams/cm2 of microcrystalline wax having a melting point between 120° F. and 140° F. on an upper surface of an upper individual conical element without transferring any microcrystalline wax to the next lower individual conical element. Each individual conical element has a tip. The elements may be stacked on a stem.
