Finding the right Cosmetic Container (Step 2)

finding-the-right-cosmetic-container-step-2<p>Foundations are, well¦ the foundation of makeup. And if we're looking for a cosmetic container for foundation we first need to decide what kind of foundation we are going to make. Again there are typically three types; a mousse (aka whipped) foundation, liquid foundation, and powder mineral foundation.</p> <p><b>Mousse foundation</b> is best served in a jar. However for some mixtures it may be acceptable to use an <a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/item/A401>airless bottle</a>, or a bottle with a treatment pump. Most jars used for this kind of foundation are called, <a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/industry-catalog/personal-care/1/?style=57>low-profile jars</a>. Because of the more viscous nature of mousse compared to other foundation types, you should test any pumps to make sure they can dispense the product properly. One with a higher output may be needed if the pump is getting clogged or is not pulling enough product through.</p> <p><b>Liquid foundations</b> are usually packaged in clear bottles, but can come in tubes. Some of the bottles work with just a simple screw cap or flip closure. However many high-end liquid foundations will have a treatment pump. Although not as viscous as mousse, if the powdered ingredients used in formulation are not fine enough, there can be a problem with pump clogs.</p> <p><b>Mineral foundation</b> is a fine powder and usually is packaged in a jar with a sifter (also known as a shaker). Often a clear, see-through jar is best, so that the color can be easily determined. Often labels will have a matching <a href=http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone.aspx?pg=21046>Pantone ® color</a> to show the true foundation color, as it may be hard to determine when in powder form as opposed to mousse or liquid.</p> <p><a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/blog/?p=394>Continue to step 3</a></p>
