Abstract
A container () for substances in powder form, in particular cosmetics in powder form. The container () has a closure () with at least one closure portion () on which there is disposed a stem insert () for an applicator element (), the stem insert being in the interior of the container in the closed condition, sufficiently accurate loading of the applicator element () with the substance in powder form can be advantageously guaranteed substantially independently of the filling level of the container (). The closure () of the container () has a cavity () containing at least one freely movable insert portion (). By virtue of the closed container () being shaken, the freely movable insert portion () produces force pulses for removing excess substance or amounts of substance which cling loosely to the applicator element (). Only the amount of substance necessary for an application remains on the applicator element (). Shaking the container () causes a noise which represents an acoustic feedback for the user about the applicator element () loading operation.
