A thin, skin-toned pocketed card having two layers of material. The foreground layer of this card is made of a thin transparent material that is printed with images of facial features. To print these images, color is applied to the material starting at the boundary of the image and extending out onto the surrounding material. The transparent portion, not the colored portion of the material, hence defines these images. The background layer of material is uniformly colored to match the foreground layer. When the foreground layer is positioned over the background layer the images of facial features become indistinguishable from the background. The layers are then joined to each other so that open pockets are formed between their adjacent surfaces, and so that one set of facial features is allocated to each pocket. Uniformly sized strips of colored media representing cosmetic colors are inserted into the open pockets. When the foreground is viewed a colored area of the color strip is visible through the transparent facial image of the pocket in which it is located. This transparent area represents a facial feature, hence the facial feature appears to be colored with cosmetic color.
