Liquid Cosmetic Compacts

Estée Lauder's Makeup Compact Dispenses Liquid Formula with a Button

Most makeup compacts across the beauty industry are designed to be filled with some sort of cosmetic in a solid form, but Estée Lauder's 'Double Wear Makeup To Go Liquid Compact' defies this norm.

In terms of shape, the design of the compact remains fairly true to classic styles, with a rounded form and an internal mirror. Where the design of the spill-proof Liquid Compact sets itself apart is with a button that can be pressed to dispense enough product to provide about eight hours of coverage. As the brand notes, one may press the button "once for a light touch, twice for more coverage."

For easy application, a sponge is included as an essential component of the makeup compact. In all, 20 different nude skin tone shades are offered, from light-medium to medium and medium-deep.
