Abstract

A cosmetic display system comprising an applicator or an image of an applicator, a secondary package, and optionally a container and/or a handle. The applicator comprises a substantially longitudinal stem, a core, optionally a handle, and a plurality of protrusions surrounding a core. At least one of the plurality of protrusions, the stem, the handle, and the core are comprised of a chromatic color or colors having a luminance value of greater than about 10, a chroma value of greater than about (22-0.22 L); and a hue value of from about 0 to about 360. At least one of the plurality of protrusions and the core comprise contrasting colors relative to the stem. The container is structured to house a product and accept the applicator, and the secondary package is structured to house the applicator by itself or the applicator and the container together such that the applicator and the container are displayed separately.
