A cosmetic applicator for a fluid material which comprises a container and a dispenser. Generally, the dispenser works by an actuating mechanism. In particular, a user depresses an ergonomically shaped top portion, which then actuates a pump that pumps a fluid cosmetic material from the lower portion of the container by means of a conduit through an aperture. The fluid cosmetic material pumped through the conduit and the aperture from the lower portion of the container rises through the conduit and saturates the closed cell sponge tip. The user then glides the closed cell sponge tip across her skin to apply the fluid cosmetic material. The cosmetic applicator is hermetically sealed with a cap, which can be removed by the user.
