PRINT YOUR OWN MAKEUPSSSSSS

[Daria Morgandorffer]

3D printers still make me go

This is insane.

oooooooooooooooo!

[secretlyevil]

I don't think I'd leave my house if I could make my own make up all day long.

[mominatrix]

That's freaking amazing.

[elleblue]

Whoa, that's pretty incredible.

I'm still trying to wrap my brain around this. And I am failing MISERABLY.

Basically it's just using a computer to mix pigment. Ink = pigment, just different wording.

And then you'd just mix that into an uncolored base?

I think she's saying that the pigment from the printer is sufficient as the eyeshadow.

Huh. Crazy.

The people who figure this stuff out amaze me.  I feel dumb.

from what I can tell, if you want to print something like lipstick (something creamy) you'd need a different base... but the bases and pans would all be available through the company.

Hmmm. I wonder if I can get my CWer to buy one of these for his printing lab. He already built a 3D liquid clay printer and is building a clothing printer (computer controlled knitting machine) this summer.

Was it just me or did the pink it printed looked a lot more muted than the color she grabbed online? This is so cool though.

That is so f-ing cool.

It uses printer ink? So you are putting printer ink on your face?

I believe pigment based printer inks for the most part use the same pigment colorings that commercial cosmetics do, just suspended in an aqueous solution.  If she's planning to commercially market the product the color additives/pigments will be subject to FDA approval.
