A system for applying a makeup and/or beauty care formulation may include a container and a makeup and/or beauty care formulation contained in the container. The makeup and/or beauty care formulation may be thermally stable and may have a thermal profile having a melting peak with a width at mid-height, L.sub.f, of less than or equal to 20.degree. C. The system may further include an applicator device for applying the makeup and/or beauty care formulation, and a heating member configured to raise the temperature of the formulation, before, during, or after application of the formulation, above the formulation's melting point.
