Abstract

Disclosed is a makeup applicator with interchangeable brush and sponge heads. An embodiment of the invention may include two heads (e.g., brush, sponge, etc.) that are replaceable and/or interchangeable using a reversible connector. The applicator preferably includes a silicone stalk with a connector projecting from each end. Each connector is preferably composed of silicone and includes a rim adapted to securely engage the brush and/or sponge heads. Preferably, the heads are composed of the same material as the stalk. The heads preferably define a hollow base adapted to securely receive the connectors to facilitate the application of makeup. The heads may preferably be removed by a user when desired and replaced with an alternate brush and/or sponge head. The applicator of the present invention may optimize space in a user's makeup case, save costs, and/or be travel friendly. The present invention is preferably for use with cosmetic application, where different brush heads may be required to apply different forms of makeup (e.g., liquid, cream, powder, etc.)
