Make-up apparatus

Abstract

An apparatus for retrieving and applying make-up is provided. The apparatus includes a housing; a rod member at least partially disposed within the housing and comprising an upper surface; an extendable tip member having a top end and a bottom end, wherein the top end is removably attached to the rod member; and a soft tip attached to the bottom end of the tip member. Preferably, the soft tip is configured to apply make-up to an individual.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus comprising:
 a. a housing comprising at least one sidewall and a top portion;   b. a rod member at least partially disposed within the housing and comprising an upper surface;   c. an extendable tip member having a top end and a bottom end, wherein the top end is removably attached to the rod member; and   d. a soft tip attached to the bottom end of the extendable tip member; wherein the soft tip is configured to apply make-up to an individual.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a push member, wherein the push member is disposed on the upper surface of the rod member and is configured to move the extendable tip member up and down. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the housing comprises an opening; wherein the push member at least partially protrudes from the opening to an outside. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the opening is disposed on the sidewall of the housing. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the opening is disposed on the top portion of the housing. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the rod member and the extendable tip member are removably attached via a threaded portion disposed on the rod member and a threaded portion disposed on the extendable tip member. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the extendable tip member is extendable to a fully actuated position, and wherein the extendable tip member at least partially protrudes from the housing to an outside in the fully actuated position. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the fully actuated position, measured from a bottom end of the housing to a bottom end of the soft tip, is from about 0.25 inches to about 10.0 inches. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the soft tip is selected from the group consisting of sponge, foundation brush, powder brush, eye shadow brush, lip gloss applicator, bronze brush, and blush brush. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the extendable tip member is reusable. 
     
     
         11 . A method of applying make-up to an individual, comprising:
 a. providing an apparatus comprising a housing; a rod member at least partially disposed within the housing and comprising an upper surface; a first extendable tip member having a top end and a bottom end, wherein the top end is removably attached to the rod member; and a soft tip attached to the bottom end of the extendable tip member; wherein the soft tip is configured to apply make-up to an individual.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising the step of removing the first extendable tip member and replacing it with a second extendable tip member. 
     
     
         13 . A kit comprising:
 a. an apparatus comprising:
 i. a housing comprising at least one sidewall and a top portion; 
 ii. a rod member at least partially disposed within the housing and comprising an upper surface; 
 iii. a push member, wherein the push member is disposed on the upper surface of the rod member and is configured to move a tip member up and down; wherein the housing comprises an opening, and wherein the push member at least partially protrudes from the opening to an outside; and 
 iv. a plurality of tip members, each tip member comprising:
 1. a top end and a bottom end, wherein the top end is configured to be removably attached to the rod member; and wherein the bottom end is attached to a soft tip. 
 
   
     
     
         14 . The kit of  claim 13 , wherein the soft tip is selected from the group consisting of sponge, foundation brush, powder brush, eye shadow brush, lip gloss applicator, bronze brush, and blush brush. 
     
     
         15 . The kit of  claim 13 , wherein the rod member and the tip member are removably attached via a threaded portion disposed on the rod member and a threaded portion disposed on the tip member. 
     
     
         16 . The kit of  claim 13 , wherein each tip member is extendable to a fully actuated position, and wherein each tip member at least partially protrudes from the housing to the outside in the fully actuated position. 
     
     
         17 . The kit of  claim 16 , wherein the fully actuated position, measured from a bottom end of the housing to a bottom end of the soft tip, is from about 0.25 inches to about 10.0 inches. 
     
     
         18 . The kit of  claim 16 , wherein the fully actuated position, measured from the bottom end of the housing to the bottom end of the soft tip, has a greater length than a length of a container of make-up that the tip member is configured to retrieve make-up from. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the fully actuated position, measured from the bottom end of the housing to the bottom end of the soft tip, has a greater length than a length of a container of make-up that the tip member is configured to retrieve make-up from.
