2. The cosmetic dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the flow-through gasket comprises a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material.

3. The cosmetic dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the apertures in the flow-through gasket are substantially circular-shaped, substantially square-shaped, or substantially oval-shaped.

4. The cosmetic dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the flow-through gasket comprises a substantially disk-shaped body with a raised center section on a bottom side.

5. The cosmetic dispenser of claim 4 , wherein the flow-through gasket further comprises an elongated stem disposed between and formed integrally with the concave shape top and the substantially disk-shaped body.

6. The cosmetic dispenser of claim 4 , wherein the flow-through gasket comprises:

the plurality of apertures being located on the bottom side of the substantially disk-shaped body;

a circular ring surrounding the plurality of apertures on the bottom side of the substantially disk-shaped body;

an outer perimeter comprising a plurality of flat sides and a plurality of semicircular sides, alternating on the substantially disk-shaped body, the plurality of semicircular sides to hold the flow-through gasket in place to the actuator when rotation occurs; and

the plurality of apertures terminates in a base of the concave shape top.

7. The cosmetic dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the concave shape top in the flow-through gasket comprises a depth of at least about 15 mm and a width of at least about 30 mm.

8. The cosmetic dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the concave top in the flow-through gasket is substantially circular-shaped, substantially square-shaped, or substantially oval-shaped.

9. The cosmetic dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the actuator being selectively rotatable to an open position comprises the plurality of apertures in the flow-through gasket being alignable with a plurality of apertures in an inner dial to define a delivery passageway for the powdered cosmetic product.

10. The cosmetic dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the actuator being selectively rotatable to a closed position for the dispenser comprises the plurality of apertures in the flow-through gasket being alignable with a plurality of raised sections in an inner dial to define a seal to prevent leakage of the powdered cosmetic product.

11. The cosmetic dispenser of claim 1 , wherein a rotation mechanism comprises a rotation of least about 10 degrees to at most about 359 degrees.

12. The cosmetic dispenser of claim 1 , further comprising an o-ring seal located between the reservoir and an inner dial.

13. The cosmetic dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the applicator comprises a sponge or a powder puff.

14. A dispenser comprising:

a housing having a reservoir for containing a product;

an actuator coupled to the housing, the actuator being selectively rotatable to an open position for the dispenser and the actuator being selectively rotatable to a closed position for the dispenser;

a flow-through gasket having a plurality of apertures and a concave shape top interposed between the housing and the actuator, the flow-through gasket being elastic and configured to create a seal upon the actuator being selectively rotatable to the closed position;

an applicator coupled to the concave shape top of the flow-through gasket for applying the product.

15. The dispenser of claim 14 wherein the flow-through gasket comprises a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material and the apertures in the flow-through gasket are substantially circular-shaped, substantially square-shaped, or substantially oval-shaped.

16. The dispenser of claim 14 , wherein the flow-through gasket comprises:

a substantially disk-shaped body with a raised center section on a bottom side; and

an elongated stem disposed between and formed integrally with the concave shape top and the disk-shaped body.

17. The dispenser of claim 16 , wherein the flow-through gasket comprises:

the plurality of apertures being located on the bottom side of the substantially disk-shaped body; and

a circular ring surrounding the plurality of apertures on the bottom side of the substantially disk-shaped body.

18. The dispenser of claim 16 , wherein the flow-through gasket comprises:

an outer perimeter comprising a plurality of flat sides and a plurality of semicircular sides, alternating on the substantially disk-shaped body; and

the plurality of apertures terminates in a base of the concave shape top.

19. The dispenser of claim 14 , wherein the concave shape top in the flow-through gasket comprises a depth of at least about 15 mm and a width of at least about 30 mm.

20. The dispenser of claim 14 , wherein the concave top in the flow-through gasket comprises a depth of at least about 10 mm to at most about 20 mm and a width of at least about 20 mm to at most about 50 mm, and the concave top provides a temporary place for storing the product.
