  • Portions 514 a and 514 b are selectively foldable in the direction of arrow “G” relative to one another about hinge portion 530 , such that the dimensions of applying portion 514 may be substantially reduced, thereby facilitating the storage thereof in base portion 518 while in the second position.
  • applying portion 514 may be manually folded about hinge portion 530 at the will of the user, whereas in another aspect, applying portion 514 may only be folded upon the actuation of release 526 .
  • Release 526 therefore, may serve dual purposes. First, release 526 may facilitate the folding of applying portion 514 about hinge portion 530 . And second, release 526 may facilitate the movement or transition of lip applicator 500 from the first position, seen in FIG.
  • lip applicator 500 may employ multiple, independent release mechanisms (not shown), one to permit the folding and/or the unfolding of the applying portion 514 about a hinge portion 530 , and a second to permit the transition of the lip applicator from the first position to the second position.
  • the release, or releases, employed may be any mechanism or structural adaptation suitable for preventing against the inadvertent folding or unfolding of the applying portion.
  • the base portion may be configured and dimensioned to retain a beauty aid therein, either integrally or selectively, as disclosed in the embodiments of FIGS. 2-4B .
  • the dimensions of the cavity may be varied such that base portion may accommodate a variety of beauty aids.
