Face Colorants

Lip products have been used since ancient times to enhance the appearance

of the lips by imparting colour and gloss, and by re-defining the outline of the

lips. The three most common products used to achieve this are lipsticks, lip

glosses and lip-liners, of which lipsticks are the most common.

Many women use lipstick even if they use no other make-up. If applied

skillfully lip products can significantly alter the apparent facial characteristics

of the wearer. They can enable the user to adjust the outline of her lips and

modify the external perception and visual impact of the mouth form and

texture. Lip-liners can accentuate the outline and lip glosses increase the

glamorous effect.

A modern range of lipsticks will include many shades to suit all skin types

and colorings, from true reds through rose, pink and coral to taupe and browns.

Shades vary with the fashion trends that are popular at any one time, but a lot

of women choose one colour and stick to it for many years.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENT AND RAW MATERIALS

Technical requirement

- During application the product must be smooth, but not greasy.

- It should adhere well to the skin of the lips and, during wear.

- The colour should remain the same and not smear or run.

- It should remain on the lips as long as possible and not transfer from

the lips to other surfaces such as cups (or shirt collars).

- It is important that the stick should be strong enough so that it does not

break when force is applied; for example during application. However,

too rigid a stick will be difficult to apply and would pull at the skin.

- The stick should be free of blemishes and air holes or pinholes.

- The properties of the stick should remain consistent during its life and

it is important that with time the formulation remains consistent and

that particles of wax or oil should not form on the surface, a property

called 'sweating'.

- These products are regularly carried around by the user and, as such,

can be subjected to a variety of temperatures. The stick should not be

affected by these changes of temperature and should retain its

applications characteristics at all times.
