2. The makeup accessory according to claim 1, wherein the extractable compartment (7) is a sliding part with a layout identical or similar to the layout of the base (2), inserted into the base (2) through a front opening (8) of said base (2), said sliding part having a stop which prevents extracting said sliding part through this front opening (8) beyond a point in the open position, and with a front partition (9) closing the front opening (8) of the base (2) in the closed position.

3. The makeup accessory according to claim 2, wherein the sliding part has a front edge with a finger notch (10) to facilitate the extraction of said sliding part.

4. The makeup accessory according to claim 3, wherein the finger notch (10) is located in coincidence with a closure (11) of the upper lid (4).

5. The makeup accessory according to claim 2, wherein the compartment (7) has another upper sinkage (3) defining another housing for positioning the sponge such that it is fitted therein without rising above the front opening (8) of the base (2).

6. The makeup accessory according to claim 5, wherein the another upper sinkage (3) of the compartment (7) has one or two side recesses (12) to facilitate the extraction of the sponge.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0024] In view of the mentioned drawings and according to the numbering used, there can be observed a non-limiting embodiment of the makeup accessory of the invention, which consists of a container comprising the parts and elements indicated and described in detail below.

[0025] In that sense, as seen in said drawings said container is a powder compact-type case (1) with a round or square layout which conventionally comprises a lower base (2), with an upper sinkage (3) defining a housing for incorporating the product, and an upper lid (4) which is preferably attached to the base (2) through an articulated attachment (5) to make it pivotable, which upper lid covers the upper part of said base (2) in a closed position and preferably incorporates a mirror (6) on its inner face.

[0026] Furthermore, based on said already known configuration, the case (1) is distinguished by having, at the lower base (2), an extractable compartment (7) for housing a sponge (not depicted) and keeping it away from contact with the product when it is not in use, which compartment (7) is concealed and completely housed inside the base (2) itself in a closed position, and placed against the base (2), still being attached thereto, and with its upper surface being exposed and accessible to allow extracting and putting in the sponge in an open position, as seen in FIG. 1.

[0027] Preferably, the extractable compartment (7) is a sliding part with a layout identical or similar to the layout of the base (2), penetrating the latter through a front opening (8) thereof, said part having a stop (not shown) which prevents the extraction thereof through this front opening (8) beyond a certain point in the open position, and with a front partition (9) closing the side opening (8) of the base (2) in its closed position.

[0028] Furthermore, the sliding part constituting the compartment (7) for the sponge preferably has on its front edge a finger notch (10) to facilitate the extraction thereof, which finger notch is located in coincidence with the closure (11) of the upper lid (4) of the case (1) in the preferred embodiment, such that a part of said closure (11) is in the lid (4) and the complementary part is in the compartment (7).

[0029] In any event, the compartment (7) for the sponge preferably has another upper sinkage (3) which defines a housing for locating the sponge such that it is fitted therein without rising above the front opening (8) of the base (2) through which the compartment (7) penetrates when it is closed, and which furthermore preferably has one or two side recesses (12) with respect to said upper sinkage (3) to facilitate the extraction thereof.

[0030] Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the manner of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to expand on this explanation so that one skilled in the art will understand its scope and the advantages derived from it, hereby stating that within its essential nature, the invention may be carried out to practice in other embodiments which differ in detail from that indicated by way of example and which will likewise attain the protection that is sought provided that its fundamental principle is not altered, changed, or modified.
