Abstract
A method and apparatus for simultaneously applying and blending pigmented cosmetics is one step, wherein pressurized air is released from a container, is divided into one or more spray channels, and exits together with pigmented cosmetics through a directional shield onto an individual's skin. The pigmented cosmetics are mixed with the pressurized air by various means. In a preferred embodiment of the apparatus, a part or the entire directional shield can be removed, enabling changes in the size and shape of the area of skin where the pigmented cosmetics are deposited. For some embodiments of the apparatus, the colors and types of cosmetics used can be varied by switching interchangeable cartridges or canisters of cosmetics.
