1. A system for electrostatic deposition of cosmetic material on a surface, the system comprising:
a housing;
a nozzle configured for breaking the cosmetic material into cosmetic particles and for directing the cosmetic particles out of the housing and toward the surface;
a reservoir configured for holding the cosmetic material, wherein the reservoir is connected to the nozzle;
a nozzle electrode configured proximately to the nozzle, wherein the nozzle electrode is configured to charge the cosmetic particles;
a target electrode configured for charging the surface; and
a controller having instructions, which, when executed, cause the controller to:
during a first time period, charge the surface at a first polarity;
charge the cosmetic particles at a second polarity, wherein the second polarity is different from the first polarity; and
during a second time period, repel the cosmetic particles from the surface by charging the surface at the second polarity.
