    Abstract: Cosmetic assemblies are movable between a resting state and a compressed state. The cosmetic assemblies include an applicator and an actuator. The applicator is at least partially formed of a compressible material that is biased toward the resting state, and the actuator is configured to actuate the applicator between the resting state and the compressed state. In the resting state, the applicator displaces a first volume and has a first outer dimension. In the compressed state, the applicator displaces a second volume that is less than the first volume, and the applicator has a second outer dimension that corresponds to and exceeds the first outer dimension.
