How Makeup Is Made💄

Have you ever wondered how your favourite makeup products are made? If they are waterproof? Or ideal for dry, sensitive or oily skin? Makeup is to cover up the blemishes on your face, but I'm writing about how it is made.

ColourPop Lippie Stick 💄

How they make the creamy ColourPop lippie stick. Liquid solvents are mixed with the dry coloured pigments. It gets turned into a paste then rolled out in a mill, three times.
Then wax is added to give the lipstick body. Lipsticks may be made from several waxes such as beeswax, ozokerite and candelilla wax. Because of its high melting point, carnauba wax is a key ingredient in terms of strengthening the lipstick. Various oils and fats are used in lipsticks, such as olive oil, mineral oil, cocoa butter, lanolin, and petrolatum.

The mixture is baked for hours then cooled and solidified. Then it is melted again and moulded in shape. It cools and solidifies.  Excess lipstick is scraped off.  The workers put it in the tubes without being touched. They do one final test on the lipstick then pop it into the packaging.


ColourPop Super Shock Eyeshadows

First, scientists mix the base. powder base is added to the Beaker. The liquid mixture is added. secret Gel Like ingredients is added as well. Which gives them that creamy texture and no fallout. then they blend the mixture. The mixture is Blended 30 minutes. Then they choose the pigments.  Repugnant are selected and mixed. They use different shades of pigments like pink yellow blue purple and red.  Mix the pigment.  combining pigment into a base. Pigments and Pearls are added to the base. They press the shadow into the base of the eye shadow. The formula is pressed into eyeshadow pots. And stamp with colour pop signature. The containers are labelled too. Now they are ready to wear.

Bare Minerals Powder Foundation

Red, blue and yellow pigments are used in the bare minerals powder foundation.  Bare minerals have over 30 shades of foundation. They make it so you can have a natural finish on your skin.  The first step is making a BareMinerals powder. A technician makes a blend of titanium, mica and zinc. This blend is mixed with red yellow and black pigments until it’s a perfect shade. When it's done it is sent to a factory to be produced on a much larger machine. A mixer mixes an exact amount of powder to replicate the pigment in the lab. They turn on the button and away it goes. Sometimes the colour does is not come out right. So they need to put it through a compounder. The compounder compounds all the particles and the right shade of pigment come out. The mixture turns from a light white, into the perfect shade of powder. Before it’s sent to the line for packaging the workers test it one more time on themselves. The powder is transferred into big barrels. Even Bare Essentials is made and packaged there. Then its packaged it's sent out.
