Abstract
A first elongated hollow member has first and second opposite ends, the first end being open, the second end being closed and having a plurality of small spaced apart openings therein. A hollow elongated capsule adapted to be filled with cosmetic powder is closed at one end and open at the other. The capsule is removably slidable into and out of the first member. The capsule, when inserted in the first member, has its open end adjacent the second end of the first member and its closed end closing the first end of the first member. A second elongated hollow member has a first end with a like plurality of like openings and a second open end, the second member rotatably engaging the first member with the first end of the second member adjacent the second end of the first member. The first and second members have a first position of relative rotation at which the openings in the two members are aligned and a second position of relative rotation at which the openings in the two members are out of alignment. A third elongated hollow member has an open end detachably engaging the second end of the second member and has an opposite closed end. A brush has a plurality of essentially parallel bristles with powder applying tips. The brush is disposed in the third member with the tips adjacent the second member. The brush and the third member have manually operated cooperating elements for establishing a first forward position at which said bristles will extend almost entirely out of the third member and a second withdrawn position at which said brush is disposed within the third member.
