Asian women are born with flat facial outlines. In order to cater to the modern aesthetic makeup, many women want to have a more three-dimensional outline, and contouring is undoubtedly a universal demand.
In daily makeup, contouring belongs to the base makeup, and its main function is to improve the facial outline and structure, create the shadow surface to produce the effect of contraction and thinness, which is also the fastest and best way to have a more three-dimensional features.
Common contouring products on the market mainly include tow forms: powder and stick/balm. Compared with powder, stick/balm is more moist and easy to operate, it can provide a natural and long-lasting wear, which is suitable for beginners and those with dry skin.
Fumei Lab recently developed a contour matte power stick with amber color, which has the functions of contouring and concealing, is smooth and easy to apply, and can help us create a three-dimensional feature.
As a structuring and molding agent, wax plays a key role in the formulation of sticks. It is necessary to improve the hardness and breakage resistance strength, facilitate demoulding, and at the same time, can be applied smoothly. Then, how to choose right waxes to achieve the desired effect?
In this formulation, our formulator selected four waxes with different melting points and hardness, of which Cerafumei® White Beeswax 2002 can improve the viscosity and pay-off, Cerafumei® Sunflower Wax 5301 can improve hardness and stability with excellent oil-binding capacity, Cerafumei® Candelilla Wax 5501 can help to demold thanks to its excellent shrinkage capability, and Microfumei® Microcrystalline Wax 6304 can increase resistance to breakage and improve the heat stability.
