A cosmetic container that converts unusable broken pressed powder into loose powder. The cosmetic container pulverizes broken pressed powder into loose powder via a “screw press” mechanism. In one specific implementation, the pulverized loose powder is held in a sealable sifter enclosure; the enclosure can be locked to prevent leakage during travel. In some variants, the portable cosmetic container may further include storage space for an applicator brush, make-up pad, or other assorted cosmetics.
