Abstract

An apparatus and system including: a top cap comprising a press button; a pump actuator partially disposed in the top cap, where a depression of the press button actuates the pump actuator; a front plate comprising a nozzle opening disposed proximate a first end of the front plate, where the front plate is attached to the top cap; a front nozzle attached to the pump actuator and disposed through the nozzle opening in the front plate; an indentation on a top surface of the front plate, where the front nozzle is angled to disperse a liquid onto the indentation; and a bottle attached to the pump actuator, wherein the bottle is configured to contain the liquid.

Claims (40)

1. A method comprising:

setting a back button of a foundation pump to an unlocked position, wherein the unlocked position allows for a depression of a press button, wherein the back button is attached to a back button plate, and wherein the back button plate comprises at least one protrusion; and

setting the back button of the foundation pump to a locked position, wherein the locked position prevents depression of the press button by contacting the at least one protrusion of the back button plate with the at least one protrusion of a pump actuator to prevent the depression of the press button.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

depressing the press button to actuate the pump actuator, wherein the pump actuator comprises at least one protrusion.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

dispensing a liquid onto a front plate via a nozzle, wherein the nozzle is connected to a first end of the pump actuator, and wherein a container containing the liquid is connected to a second end of the pump actuator.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the nozzle is angled to dispense the liquid onto the front plate.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the dispensed liquid comprises a liquid foundation.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the dispensed liquid comprises two or more of: a liquid makeup, a first color foundation, a second color foundation, a concealer, a primer, and a highlighter.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein the press button comprises two or more press buttons, wherein the container comprises two or more containers, and wherein the nozzle comprises two or more nozzles.

8. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

dispersing the dispensed liquid via an indentation on the front plate.

9. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

rotating the foundation pump from a first position to a second position after depressing of the press button to actuate the pump actuator, while maintaining the liquid on the indentation.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

applying a selective amount of the dispensed liquid on the indentation on the front plate via a makeup tool.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the back button is attached to a back button plate and disposed through a button opening disposed in a top cap, and wherein setting the back button between a locked position and the unlocked position comprises sliding the back button in the button opening.

12. A system comprising:

a top cap comprising a press button;

a button opening disposed in the top cap;

a pump actuator partially disposed in the top cap wherein at least one protrusion is disposed on the pump actuator;

a back button plate comprising at least one protrusion; and

a back button attached to the back button plate and disposed through the button opening, wherein the back button is slidable in the button opening between a locked position and an unlocked position;

wherein the at least one protrusion of the back button plate contacts the at least one protrusion of the pump actuator to prevent the depression of the press button in the locked position.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the system is configured to:

dispense a liquid onto a front plate via a nozzle; and

disperse the dispensed liquid via an indentation on the front plate.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein setting the back button to an unlocked position allows for a depression of the press button.

15. The system of claim 14 , further configured to:

depress the press button to actuate a pump.

16. The system of claim 12 , wherein the nozzle is connected to a first end of the pump actuator, and wherein a container containing the liquid is connected to a second end of the pump actuator.

17. The system of claim 12 , wherein the nozzle remains stationary as liquid is dispensed through the nozzle.

18. A container and dispenser device for dispensing a liquid makeup, configured to:

dispense the liquid makeup onto a front plate via a nozzle;

disperse the dispensed liquid makeup via an indentation on the front plate; and

retract the nozzle behind the front plate after dispensing the liquid makeup onto the front plate;

set a back button to an unlocked position, wherein the unlocked position allows for a depression of a press button; and

depress the press button to actuate a pump.

19. The device of claim 18 , wherein the nozzle is connected to a first end of a pump actuator, and wherein a container containing the liquid makeup is connected to a second end of the pump actuator.
