The FDA defines cosmetics<\/a> as products put on human skin \u201cfor cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance.\u201d In order to enhance the user\u2019s beauty, the makeup must be of high quality. Manufacturers, therefore, need to be cognizant of what ingredients they put into their cosmetics. Let\u2019s take a closer look at what goes into different kinds of makeup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Mascara<\/strong>
    \nIn the U.S., mascara is usually colored with carbon black. For other colors like brown, iron oxides are typically used, and inorganic pigments can create purple or blue mascaras. From there, most companies use emulsion\u2014expelling small insoluble liquid droplets into another\u2014on water and thickeners to create a cream. Then, pigments and waxes are mixed in until large particles have broken down so that the mascara is the proper color and won\u2019t harm anyone\u2019s eyes.<\/li>\n
  2. Lipstick<\/strong>
    \nInitially, wax and oil are melted together. Next, the color pigment and a solvent solution are mixed in. After blending for hours and setting, the formula is put into lipstick tubes and cooled, so it can keep its shape.<\/li>\n
  3. Foundations & Powders<\/strong>
    \nLike the two previous types of makeup, these are made with oils and pigments. Perfume is also frequently added to diminish any bad smells from the ingredients. From there, what\u2019s included often depends on the type of product. Many newer products are made with sensitive skin in mind, so they don\u2019t include any harsh ingredients.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    No matter the type of cosmetics being produced, the process is comprehensive. Color measurement is essential at every stage to ensure the final product enhances the user’s beauty. Konica Minolta Sensing offers a diverse range of instruments tailored for precise measurements in the cosmetics industry<\/a>. Whether dealing with powders, liquids, or creams, our instruments provide manufacturers with the necessary measurements. The CM-5 benchtop spectrophotometer<\/a> and our new CM-17d portable vertical spectrophotometer<\/a> are particularly well-suited for the cosmetic industry. Their user-friendly design and measurement accuracy facilitate the achievement of standard color quality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1550,"template":"","learning_center_categories":[237],"class_list":["post-1690","blog","type-blog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","learning_center_categories-color-appearance-measurement"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\r\nHow Makeup is Made<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Whether you are making mascara, lipstick, or foundation, color control factors into every stage of makeup manufacturing.
