Design Your
Own Cosmetics
Designing your own cosmetics is a fun and creative process with many benefits. It allows you to create beauty products that are customized to fit your personal style and preference. When designing your own cosmetics, you can custom blend colors to create vibrant hues that can't be found anywhere else. Eventually, your project can even grow to become a lucrative business venture if you decide to create and sell your designed cosmetics. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Decide what type of cosmetics you want to design. You can design an entire set of cosmetics, including makeup for eyes, lips, face, nails and body; or you can choose certain items, such as body shimmer, lip-plumping gloss or vibrating mascara.
2. Choose colors. Blush and lipstick should be in shades that best flatter your skin tone; however, don't be afraid to choose avant-garde colors such as black lipstick, glitter turquoise eyeshadow, neon-green nail polish or hot-pink blush. You can be as creative and crazy with your colors as you like.
3. Choose a type of consistency. You can design loose mineral powders and eyeshadows, pressed powders and blushes, and liquid or mousse foundations. Get creative with the consistencies for blush: Design pressed-powder, loose powder and liquid blushes. Your cosmetics can contain products of all consistencies, or they can be exclusively in one type.
4. Design the packaging. Come up with a unique logo to stamp on all of your containers. Your packaging can be sleek and classic, with a small logo embossed on the cover, or you can be more imaginative and design packaging that is extremely colorful and whimsical.
5. Design applicators. For loose-powder makeup, brush applicators work best. For pressed powders and liquid foundation, makeup sponges are appropriate. You should also consider designing small brushes for eyeshadow and concealer application.
