 an end cap removably attachable to the end of the tubular body; 
 a makeup applicator portion configured to apply makeup to a plurality of eyelid locations; and 
 a connecting rod having a proximal end connected to the end cap and a distal end connected to the makeup applicator portion, 
   wherein when the end cap is attached to the end, the makeup applicator extends into the interior cavity and in contact with the makeup.   
     
     
         9 . A method of applying makeup to at least one of a plurality of eyelid location using the makeup applicator device of  claim 1 , comprising the steps of:
 inserting the applicator portion into the cavity where the makeup is contained;   removing the applicator from the cavity;   contacting the applicator portion with an eyelid location to which the makeup is to be applied; and   applying the makeup to the eyelid location in a gliding or dotting motion.   
     
     
         10 . A dual-ended multiple purpose makeup applicator device, comprising:
 a tubular body defining an interior cavity configured to contain a makeup and having an open first end and an open second end;   a first end cap removably attachable to the first end;   a second end cap removably attachable to the second end;   a first makeup applicator attached at a proximal end to the first end cap; and   a second makeup applicator attached at a proximal end to the second end cap,   wherein when the first end cap is attached to the first end, the first makeup applicator extends into the interior cavity and in contact with the makeup, and   wherein when the second end cap is attached to the second end, the second makeup applicator extends into the interior cavity and in contact with the makeup.   
     
     
         11 . The dual-ended multiple purpose makeup applicator device of  claim 10 , wherein the second makeup applicator is a mascara brush.

 an end cap removably attachable to the first end of the tubular body; 
 a makeup applicator portion configured to apply makeup; and 
 a connecting rod having a proximal end connected to the end cap and a distal end connected to the makeup applicator portion; and 
   a second makeup applicator, comprising:
 an end cap removably attachable to the second end of the tubular body; 
 a makeup applicator portion different from the makeup applicator portion of the first makeup applicator and configured to apply makeup; and 
 a connecting rod having a proximal end connected to the end cap and a distal end connected to the makeup applicator portion of the second makeup applicator, 
   wherein when the end cap of the first makeup applicator is attached to the first end of the tubular body, the makeup applicator portion of the first makeup applicator extends into the interior cavity and in contact with the makeup, and   wherein when the end cap of the second makeup applicator is attached to the second end of the tubular body, the makeup applicator portion of the second makeup applicator extends into the interior cavity and in contact with the makeup.   
     
     
         14 . The dual-ended multiple purpose makeup applicator device of  claim 13 , wherein the end caps are removably attachable to the ends via threaded surfaces.
