Abstract
An applicator cup for user with a motorized handle for applying cosmetics. The applicator cup includes an applicator configured to apply a liquid or powder substance (e.g., such as cosmetics, makeup, lotion, sunblock, sunscreen, moisturizer, foundation, concealer, eye shadow, blush, bronzer, cream, or any other appropriate substance) to a user's body. The applicator cup may be configured to enable a user to selectively attach the applicator cup to the motorized handle substantially without touching the applicator. The applicator cup is adapted to enable a user to use the applicator cup in combination with a handle, such as a motorized handle, to apply the liquid or powder substances to the user's body.

A motorized makeup applicator comprising:
- (A) a motorized applicator support comprising:
- a base portion;
- a first coupling assembly that is configured for allowing a user to selectively couple any particular one of a plurality of different types of makeup applicators adjacent said base portion;
- and
- a motor for selectively rotating a makeup applicator that is mounted, via said first coupling assembly, adjacent said base portion;
- and
- (B) a first makeup applicator cup, comprising:
- a substantially cylindrical applicator body portion comprising:
- a side wall;
- a top face;
- and
- a bottom face, wherein said applicator body portion defines a substantially cylindrical applicator-receiving recess adjacent said top face;
- a second coupling assembly adjacent said bottom face configured for cooperating with said first coupling assembly to maintain said first makeup applicator cup adjacent said base portion of said motorized applicator support;
- and
- at least one applicator comprising at least one bristle, wherein the at least one bristle is disposed at least partially within said applicator-receiving recess;
- wherein:
- said applicator body portion is configured to maintain said at least one applicator at least partially within said applicator-receiving recess;
- said bottom face separates said applicator receiving recess from said second coupling assembly so that said applicator receiving recess is not in fluid communication with said second coupling assembly;
- and
- said motor is configured to rotate said first makeup applicator cup with respect to said base portion about a central axis when said first makeup applicator cup is coupled adjacent said motorized applicator support.
