Color Matching of Foundie Products
Hi guys,
I need some help through this discussion here.
I have had problems in color matching in developing foundation products including a concealer. As you know, in many product formulas there are dry binder (in the form of powder) where the phase I mixed first into the oil phase before the emulsification process, after emulsification, I just do color matching, if the color is not match, I add a pigments that I dissolve first with the solvent I use in the formula (usually LANOL 99 or SF1202). Is there another way that can make it easier or more efficient for the color matching process?please help me..
thank you. ? -

I have not done any significant amount of color-matching, but in my experience adding pigments after emulsification does not show as clearly.
I don’t know if it would work but personally I would make 4 bases for the skin tones, one of each pure pigment (red, yellow, and black iron oxides + Titanium oxide), then do color matching with the emulsified products, calculate the amounts of pigment and do a small batch to see if the color did indeed match.
