A dispenser for storing and applying a supply of cosmetic powder, includes a container and closure cap. The closure cap carries an applicator brush that is manually advanceable or retractable with respect to the closure cap. The mouth of the container is covered by an apertured transverse wall and a lid thereon, the lid normally blocking communication between the powder in the container and the brush. When the closure cap is removed, the lid can be manually lifted by means of a hinged connection, to as to expose a small accumulation of powder that has adhered to the transverse wall. The applicator brush is then advanced, and used in the manner of a dabber to pick up particles of the powder and apply them to the user. Simplified components and assembly characterize the completed unit.
