         5 . The makeup tool of  claim 1  wherein said main body has a head portion and a tail portion, and said sleeve partially covers said tail portion. 
     
     
         6 . The makeup tool of  claim 1  wherein said main body has a head portion and a tail portion, and said sleeve partially covers both of said head portion and said tail portion. 
     
     
         7 . The makeup tool of  claim 1  wherein said main body has a generally tear drop, round shape. 
     
     
         8 . The makeup tool of  claim 7  wherein said main body has a head portion and a tail portion, said head portion has a generally conical shape with a pointed tip and curved outer surface and said tail portion has a generally circular platform shape with a generally planar bottom surface and curved outer surface. 
     
     
         9 . The makeup tool of  claim 8  wherein the boundary between said head portion and said portion has the widest diameter and is continuous such that said curved outer surface of said head portion and said curved outer surface of said tail portion are smooth in transition. 
     
     
         10 . The makeup tool of  claim 1  wherein said main body has a head portion and a tail portion, wherein said head portion has a generally conical shape and said tail portion has a truncated tail portion with at least one inclined surface. 
     
     
         11 . The makeup tool of  claim 8  wherein said main body has at least one inclined surface. 
     
     
         12 . The makeup tool of  claim 8  wherein said head portion has at least one inclined surface. 
     
     
         13 . The makeup tool of  claim 8  wherein said tail portion has at least one inclined surface. 
     
     
         14 . The makeup tool of  claim 10  having first and second inclined surfaces, wherein said first inclined surface is opposite said second inclined surface and said first and second inclined surfaces intersect at a distal end of said truncated tail portion. 
     
     
         15 . The makeup tool of  claim 10  having first, second, and third inclined surfaces, wherein said first inclined surface is opposite said second and third inclined surfaces, said first and third inclined surfaces intersect at a distal end of said truncated tail portion, and said second and third inclined surfaces intersect. 
     
     
         16 . The makeup tool of  claim 15  wherein said first, second, and third inclined surfaces have different surface areas and shapes. 
     
     
         17 . The makeup tool of  claim 16  wherein said first inclined surface has the largest surface area and a generally semi-oval shape, said third inclined surface has the smallest surface area and a generally rectangular shape, and said second inclined surface has a surface area smaller than said first inclined surface and larger than said third inclined surface and a generally semi-circular shape. 
     
     
         18 . The makeup tool of  claim 11  wherein said at least one inclined surface is planar. 
     
     
         19 . The makeup tool of  claim 11  wherein said at least one inclined surface it non-planar.
