I’d probably aim for 15–20%, keeping solid pigments <15% and making up the rest of the difference in liquid pigments or micas. When solidified, the lipstick is ejected from a mould using an aluminium piston, manufactured from 2014 aluminium and hard anodised. Wenn das rausholen der Lippenstifte problematisch war habe ich diese kurz in den Tiefkühler gestellt dann waren auch Lippenpflegestifte mit weicherer Textur kein Problem. For this reason I find I prefer a less pigmented stick lipstick—when I tried to match pigment levels to pot lipsticks I found the end product felt like it went on like a permanent marker! As an added benefit, the new solution also reduced the wear rate of the pistons meaning that machine downtime was also reduced, further increasing the production levels.

The lipsticks that broke on me almost looked like they’d been torn; I could really see the powdery texture in the cross section. A set of lipstick molds with different shapes, you can choose different colors according to your needs.of base per recipe, so with that finalized I could really start to tweak the amounts of pigments I was using.
