         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the cover is screwed onto the proximal end of the body and the base is screwed onto the distal end of the body. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the cover is snap fitted onto the proximal end of the body and the base is snap fitted onto the distal end of the body. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the body is cylindrical in shape. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4  further comprising a palette locatable in the interior region of the body, the palette having a plurality of holes particularly sized for handles of particular brushes, so that the palette holds the brushes in place in the interior region of the body. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the body has a length ranging from about 7 inches to about 12 inches. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the body has a length of about 9.5 inches. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the cosmetic applicators comprise make-up brushes. 
     
     
         9 . A makeup brush holder apparatus comprising:
 a body having an interior region and an external wall surrounding the interior region, the body having a proximal end and a distal end;   a plurality of make-up brushes housed within the interior region of the body wherein the plurality of brushes are protected from external damage by the body; and   means for opening the body to allow at least one of the plurality of brushes to be removed from the body.   
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 9  further comprising:
 a cover fabricated for releasable attachment to the proximal end of the body, the cover having an exterior surface on which is located a brush head; and 
 a base fabricated for releasable attachment to the distal end of the body. 
 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 9  wherein the body is formed by two substantially identical halves wherein each half of the body has a first edge and a second edge wherein the first edges are permanently joined together and the second edges are not wherein the means for opening the body comprises a latch for non-permanently securing the second edges together to create the interior region of the body. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 9  wherein the means for opening the body comprises a removable cap located at a distal end of the body. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 12  wherein the proximal end of the body comprises a make-up brush. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 9  wherein the body is formed by a proximal half and a distal half which can be detachably coupled to each other. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 14  wherein he means for opening the body comprises external threads on a proximal end of the distal half which couple to internal threads o the distal end of the proximal half. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 12  further comprising a palette located inside the cap, the palette having a plurality of holes particularly sized for handles of particular brushes, so that the palette holds the brushes in place in the interior region of the body.
