Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a single-use cosmetic system for storing and applying cosmetics, which provides a user with enough cosmetics for a single application using a single-use makeup insert that may be made of environmentally friendly material(s) and that may include one or more cosmetic items and/or one or more cosmetic applicators, and wherein the insert may be configured in a storage space of a multi-use container that may also be made of environmentally friendly materials. Once the one or more cosmetic items are applied by the user, the single-use makeup insert (and any applicators) may be removed from the multi-use container, thrown away, and a new single-use makeup insert placed in the container storage space.
