Abstract
A lipstick container comprising a cylinder having a rotatable knob on one end and an opening at the opposite end. The cylinder is comprised of an opaque lower section and a transparent shield which extends from the top of the lower section to the cylinder opening. A lipstick is movably disposed inside the cylinder. The relative position of the lipstick with respect to the cylinder is controlled by rotation of the knob, and for application, the lipstick is moved so that a top portion of the lipstick extends outside the cylinder. For storage, the lipstick is selectively moved to its lowest position so that all of the lipstick is inside the cylinder below the level of the opening. In this storage position, the top portion of the lipstick remains above the lower section of the cylinder and, therefore, is visible through the transparent shield. In this storage position, a transparent cover is put on over the cylinder and the shield protects the lipstick from coming in contact with the cover. In addition, as both the cover and shield are transparent, the color of the lipstick can be determined without the need for removing the cover and moving the lipstick.
