Abstract

A unitary packaged color cosmetic composition having a foundation makeup benefit and a concealer benefit, said composition stored in a receptacle having a closure and applicator, wherein the applicator has a foundation makeup benefit application section and a concealer benefit application section and the section of the applicator used to apply the composition to the keratin surface application area corresponds to the desired benefit.

Claims

1. A unitary packaged color cosmetic composition having a foundation makeup benefit and a concealer benefit stored in a glass receptacle with a neck having a circumferential cutaway and having secured therein a wiper made of a thermoplastic material, a closure, and an applicator with compressible sponge or flock having a foundation makeup benefit application section having at least one subsection for applying the composition to small areas of the face and at least one subsection for applying the composition to large areas of the face to achieve the foundation makeup benefit, and a concealer benefit application section for applying the composition to discrete sections of the face to achieve the concealer benefit where the section of the applicator used to apply the composition to each area of the face corresponds to the desired benefit for that area of the face and wherein the wiper has:

(i) a barrel portion that has sufficient volume to contain the applicator, (ii) an aperture smaller in diameter than the width of the applicator at the terminus of the barrel portion, (iii) a neck which is seated in the neck of the receptacle and has extending arms that curve downwardly to terminate in club shaped circumferential protrusions that mate with the circumferential cutaway in the neck of the receptacle such that the wiper is operable to withstand at least 9 to 13 pounds of pressure when the applicator is compressed as it is pulled through the aperture when extracted from the receptacle by the user to cause the load of the composition on the applicator to be an amount sufficient to make up the entire face to achieve the foundation makeup and concealer benefits.

2. The packaged composition of claim 1 wherein the wiper is operable to withstand a force of 10-12 pounds when the applicator is extracted from the receptacle by the user.

3. The packaged composition of claim 1 wherein the composition comprises, by weight of the total composition, 2-50% water, 1-30% titanium dioxide, 0.1-1% of an emulsifying crosslinked silicone elastomer, 1-15% dimethicone, 1-20% volatile oil and has a stabilized viscosity of 35,000 to 150,000 centipoise at 25°

C.

4. The packaged composition of claim 3 wherein the one subsection of the foundation makeup benefit application section for applying the composition to small areas of the face has an application surface that is angled from 40 to 60 degrees having a concave surface forming a reservoir for holding cosmetic product.

5. The packaged composition of claim 4 wherein the application surface is angled at about 45°

and has a surface area of about 0.2 to 0.7 inches.

6. The packaged composition of claim 1 wherein the extending arms of the wiper curve downwardly in an approximate 90 degree angle.

7. The packaged composition of claim 1 wherein the wiper is seated in the neck of the receptacle in a manner sufficient to withstand a force of at least 10 pounds when the applicator is extracted from the receptacle by the user.
