Compacts Definition
Compacts refer to the containers used to store face powder. Compacts were made in gold and other precious metals. Compacts became a popular accessory after World War I when it became acceptable for a woman to wear makeup in public places. The collectors watch out for commemorative compacts and unusual designs.
