The product is cast in the mold from a fluid cosmetic composition. During molding, the foam sheet is partly impregnated with the fluid composition. After solidifying, the molded product includes a solidified cosmetic composition and the foam sheet, which is bonded to and supports the molded product. The molded product is then removed from the mold and packaged. ## Claims ### Claim 1 Molded make-up product obtained by the following process: forming a mold including a concave molding surface and an upper component which closes a volume defined by the concave molding surface, selecting the upper component to be a foam sheet having open cells, a first portion of the foam sheet facing the volume and a second, opposite portion; adding a fluid make-up composition through the foam sheet and into the volume of the mold so as partly to impregnate the open cells of the first portion of the foam sheet with the composition; solidifying the composition to form a solidified composition having a first useable surface from which make-up can be removed and a second, opposite surface, wherein a bond is formed between the foam sheet and the composition, due to the liquid composition impregnating the cells and solidifying the composition after impregnation, and wherein, the molded product obtained includes the solidified composition and the foam sheet, the foam sheet being bonded to the second opposite surface of the solidified composition, and flexibly supporting the solidified composition, and separating the molded product from the molding surface to form the molded make-up product including both the solidified composition and the foam sheet bonded thereto, wherein the molded make-up product formed has as outer surfaces the first useable surface from which the make-up can be removed, and the second portion of the foam sheet. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) Product according to claim 1, wherein the fluid composition contains plaster (CaSO.sub.4.1/2H.sub.2 O) and a sufficient quantity of water to obtain a pourable mixture, the solidification taking place as a result of setting of the plaster, and wherein the solidified composition contains hydrated plaster (CaSO.sub.4.2H.sub.2 O). ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) Product according to claim 2, wherein the solidified composition contains from 10 to 50% by weight of hydrated plaster. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) Product according to claim 1, wherein after the separating step, the molded product is packaged in a rigid case. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) Product according to claim 4, wherein the case includes a plate which supports the foam sheet, and a ring which surrounds the molded product and is attached to the plate. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) Product according to claim 4, wherein the case includes a base which interacts with a ring which holds the molded product against the base. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) Product according to claim 4, wherein the case includes a ring for receiving a plate and for receiving peripherally, in a removable manner, the molding surface. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) Product according to claim 7, wherein the plate comprises at least one opening.
