ABSTRACT:
Transparent plastic strips are dispensed one at a time for use in sampling cosmetics. Each strip has a facial feature outline, preferably lips, embossed, etched or printed on the strip for receiving colored cosmetic, preferably lip color, within the outline. The strips have extensions extending outward from the outline for grasping and holding the strips in front of the facial feature of the user, usually lips, to determine which cosmetic color or lip color, shade and gloss best suits the user's face and satisfies the user. The transparent plastic strips are disposable and are used to promote sales of cosmetics by encouraging sampling of multiple colors and shades. The transparent strips are disposable after use by a customer to provide sanitary conditions for the users and for the cosmetics available for sampling at a cosmetic counter. The transparent plastic strips may be blank. The plastic strip is then placed on a template that has a lip depiction. An outline is formed on the plastic strip using the lip depiction on the template as a guide before applying make up within the outline.
