DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(11) In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, FIG. 1 illustrates a modular cosmetic system 100 including, but not limited to, a primary(ies) 104, color(s) 108, and modifier(s) 112. Each of the primary(ies) 104, color(s) 108, and modifier(s) 112 may interact with a consumer's skin to yield a variety of different optical illusion outcomes. For example, by systematically blending portions, or parts, of one or more of the primary(ies) 104, color(s) 108, and modifier(s) 112, a number of cosmetic/illusory effects on the skin may be achieved.

(12) The primary(ies) 104 may be considered as the base of the modular cosmetic system 100; the primary(ies) 104 generally includes, but is not limited to, a translucent material composition having varying levels and/or actions of adhesion. In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a second portion of the modular cosmetic system 100 is color(s) 108; color(s) 108 provides a range of colors of varying degrees in level, pigmentation, and densities that include neutral and rainbow colors and may or may not also effect the color of other cosmetic brands. In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a third portion of the modular cosmetic system 100 includes the modifier(s) 112 which expand the reach of cosmetic textures when mixed with primary(ies) 104 and color(s) 108; the modifier(s) 112 may include but are not limited to, liquid, oily, sticky, waxy, creamy, and gel textures.

(13) The range of products available from mixing the primary(ies) 104 and color(s) 108 covers the range of independent products available on the market in any cosmetic line (e.g., foundation, concealer, eye shadow, eyeliner, blush, primer, fallout veil, etc). The method of mixing the primary(ies) 104 and color(s) 108 may be by volume for ease of measuring/use and mixing in order to achieve results in accordance with the consumer's desired effect. As one example, the primary(ies) 104, color(s) 108, and modifier(s) 112 may be mixed dry in contained or closed bags which decreases the risk to the consumer of dust inhalation. In some embodiments, a measuring device may be provided that allows a consumer to easily measure the primary(ies) 104 and color(s) 108 by volume and further helps to keep each of the products bacteria free.

(14) In accordance with at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the use of modifier(s) (112) is dependent on the desired end result of the consumer. For example, the use of the modifier(s) 112 may alter the dispersal of the primary(ies) 104 having added color(s) 108 such that a thin or heavy dispersal of the primary(ies) 104 having added color(s) 108 may be achieved and therefore provide a varying illusory effect desired by the consumer.

(15) As previously mentioned, and in accordance with at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, three parts, or portions, are included, where each part or portion has multiple purposes and actions, and are formulated to combine in varying parts by volume to produce multiple cosmetic products for many illusory effects upon the skin. Such is composed of dry, liquid, solid, and/or creamy ingredients that may or may not be blended, mixed, sifted, stirred, melted, grated, chilled, warmed, shaken, infused, emulsified, whisked, kneaded, merged, and/or layered. At least one part in the system is needed for an effect. In the description that follows, at least one part and/or portion presented is blended, mixed, sifted, stirred, pressed and/or heated.

(16) In one aspect, the modular cosmetic system 100 allows for the convenience of access to every makeup effect. The modular cosmetic system 100 also allows for the immediate alteration of colors and effect for the moment of need. The modular cosmetic system 100 allows for open-ended purpose insofar as its scope of cosmetic coverage and illusory effect. The modular cosmetic system 100 provides the consumer more choices as to what ingredients they put on their skin and further diminishes the need for preservatives.

(17) The present disclosure exhibits growth potential in new ways of cosmetic use by separating cosmetics into primary(ies) 104, color(s) 108, and modifier(s) 112, and mixing such portions into a final, or semi-final, mixture. In such an example, the modular cosmetic system 100 in FIG. 1 and the mixing ratios of FIG. 4 may be utilized to achieve every kind of makeup available on the market as individual products, such as foundation, eye shadow, blush, eyeliner, lip color, lash color, contouring, primers, fall-out veils, finishing powders, setting powders, concealers, contouring shades, or highlights; all these among the various kinds of stage makeup.

(18) FIG. 2A depicts one or more primary(ies) 104 in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. As previously discussed, a primary(ies) 104 may be considered as a base of the modular cosmetic system 100. The primary(ies) 104 generally includes, but is not limited to, a translucent material composition having varying levels and/or actions of adhesion. Primary(ies) 104 tend to be finished makeup, makeup that is readily wearable as a powder and having a most versatile texture. Contrary to bases of existing cosmetic lines where the texture of the makeup is predetermined and severely limits the range and/or use of such product, the primary(ies) 104 may be customizable and can be colored and altered further in texture by mixing in color(s) 108 and modifier(s) 112 to suit the purpose of the consumer.

(19) As further depicted in FIG. 2A, primary 202 and 208 are primaries 104 having adhesion qualities and a matte finish. Primaries 204 and 210 are primaries 104 having adhesion qualities and a low shine for a dewy effect. Because of the potential lightening/ashy effect of adhesive primaries 202, 204, 208, and 210 when mixed with color(s) 108, measuring and mixing is a relatively exact number, meaning there is room for error or intentional darkening or lightening/ashy effect but within parameters that ensure the quality of the mixtures' performance for true-to-color results. Primaries 206 and 212 are primaries without adhesion and without any alteration of color. Because primary 206 does not alter the color, a minimum amount of color(s) 108 is necessary for performance of the color, meaning a ratio of color 108 to these primary(ies) 104 could effectively be 1:10, or however much more it takes to get the desired end result; therefore, when mixing, as depicted in FIG. 4, the amount may be accompanied with a + to signify the open option of adding more primary 206 and/or 212. The packaging of the primaries 104 may include plastic zip bags to limit dust exposure. Alternatively, or in addition, the packaging of the primaries 104 may include pressing such primary(ies) 104 into perforated tablets and including the tablets in blister packaging.

(20) Further, the primary(ies) 104 may determine shine and adhesion or the lack thereof, and optimal performance in regards to slip (the even distribution of color as it is applied to the skin; lack of stickiness), smoothness (non-abrasiveness), moisture balance for the skin, and translucency, which makes it color customizable, as opposed to the common idea of a makeup base that determines the texture and appropriate translucency/adhesion/slip for a specific color. Primary(ies) 104 may include a vegan or non-vegan matte primary which may be formulated for adhesion and spread quality, and a flat, smooth finish. The matte primary generally provides a solid, uniform spread that adheres colors to skin with a matte finish for f, etc. Primary(ies) 104 may include a vegan or non-vegan luster primary which may be formulated for adhesion and spread quality, and a dewy finish. That is, a luster primary may provide a solid, uniform spread that adheres colors to skin, but may provide a dewy finish for foundations, concealers, eye shadows, eyeliners, blushes, contouring colors, highlights, stage makeup, etc. Primary(ies) 104 may also be a vegan or non-vegan unattached primary, where such primary is formulated to not adhere at all to skin, but is formulated for buffering color disbursement over the skin and/or to trap and to remove excess moisture from the skin. That is, an unattached primary does not adhere to the skin as do matte and luster primaries. Because an unattached primary absorbs moisture and oil and then falls away, it is often the choice for fallout veils and touchup powders. When mixed with colors, an unattached primary will lower the concentration of pigment on the skin without altering the colors (great for the most sensitive skin types when added to your finished formula; it also helps to absorb oils through the day when added to a foundation formula). Because the unattached primary does not alter the colors, mixing of the unattached primary with color(s) 108 and/or modifier(s) 112 does not have to be in equal parts. For example, if a consumer wants a lightly tinted touchup powder, a tiny bit of color(s) 108 will go a long way with an unattached primary. When applied to the skin alone, an unattached primary will dust away without leaving any effect (lightening or color or otherwise) on the skin.

(21) In terms of primary(ies) 104, a primary(ies) 104 may include a mixture of one or more ingredients to achieve a desired shine, adhesion, and performance with regard to slip, smoothness, moisture balance of the skin, and translucency. For example, a matte non-vegan primary may include, but is not limited to, nylon 12, rice, calcium carbonate, kaolin, silk, magnesium myristate, and silica microspheres. A luster non-vegan primary may include, but is not limited to, nylon 12, rice, calcium carbonate, kaolin, silk, magnesium myristate, silica microspheres, and mica. An unattached non-vegan primary may include, but is not limited to rice, calcium carbonate, and silk. A matte vegan primary may include, but is not limited, to nylon 12, rice, calcium carbonate, kaolin, magnesium myristate, and silica microspheres. A luster vegan primary may include, but is not limited to, mica, nylon 12, rice, calcium carbonate, kaolin, magnesium myristate, and silica microspheres. An unattached vegan primary may include, but is not limited to, rice, calcium carbonate, and kaolin. As provided in Tables 1-6, an amount of an ingredient, by volume, for example primaries, is provided in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. The disclosed range of each ingredient is intended to encompass and include about the lower amount of the range value, each amount between the range, and/or about the upper amount of the range value. For example, a range disclosed as including 25% to 35% may include about 25%, about 35%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, and/or 35%. Alternatively, or in addition, Tables 1-6 provide an amount of an ingredient, by weight, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. The disclosed range of each ingredient is intended to encompass and include about the lower amount of the range value, each amount between the range, and/or about the upper amount of the range value. For example, a range disclosed as including 25% to 35% may include about 25%, about 35%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, or 35%.

(28) One or more colors 108 are depicted in FIG. 2B in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. The color(s) 108 may be materials that are true-to-color in appearance, formulated to mix and be worn with primary(ies)108 so that the color of the resulting mixture remains true when worn on the skin. Alternatively, or in addition, the color(s) 108 may be materials that are true-to-color in appearance, formulated to mix and be worn only with primary(ies)108 so that the color of the resulting mixture remains true when worn on the skin. The color(s) 108 may include neutrals (e.g., N) which are coloring materials that include neutral tones in varying levels of lightness that range from black to white. Neutrals may have an undertone that tends to be more on the yellow spectrum, but can be adjusted by using other color(s) 108, such as rainbow colors of red, yellow, green, blue, red, and/or orange for example. The rainbow colors may be coloring materials that represent the colors of the Color Theory, or color chart, and are the colors that one's eyes perceive that are not neutral. Non-neutral color(s) 108 are not limited to one tone of a single color, but range the spectrum from secondary, tertiary, and so on.

(29) Ingredients a user is sensitive to, such as mica. may be excluded from the primary. Alternatively, or in addition, an amount of the ingredient, such as mica, may be reduced when compared to conventional cosmetic products. Moreover, an amount of ingredient, such as mica, may be customizable based on a user's preferences. For example, a user may vary an amount and/or type of primary based on a sensitivity to the ingredients in the primary while still achieving a desired function and look of the cosmetic product.

(30) The color(s) 108 part of the modular cosmetic system 100 is depicted in FIG. 2B. Color 214 is a sparkle product that can be intermixed with other colors 108 or can be mixed alone with a primary(ies) 104. The neutral color level series ranges from level one, color 216, the darkest level which is black, to level twelve, 228, the absence of color which is white. Color 218 is heavily pigmented to the darkest neutral color achievable with the mineral ingredients of the modular cosmetics system 100. Color 220 is also heavily pigmented to achieve a lighter neutral on the darker side of the color level spectrum. Color 222 is a medium pigmented neutral, and colors 224 and 226 are light to lightest neutrals. Colors 230 to 246 represent the rainbow colors, all of which are heavily pigmented, but because of the physical nature of the ingredients required to create some of the rainbow colors 230-246, some of the rainbow colors are mixed with less primary(ies) 104, than others. The amount of pigmentation and the varying densities of the color(s) 108, factor into the measuring and mixing method as will be described. For example, the heavier the pigmentation, the stickier the color(s) 108 absent the primary(s) 104. While the lighter pigmented color(s) may not stick and smear on the skin without the addition of primary(s) 104, the measuring parameters of the primary(ies) 104 must still be met to ensure even, smooth, reliable results.

(31) In terms of color(s) 108 composition, a color(s) 108 may include a mixture of one or more ingredients to achieve a desired color and/or effect. For example, a sparkle color may include, but is not limited to, nylon 12, calcium carbonate, and Micro-fine Glitter. A black (1N) color may include, but is not limited to, nylon 12, calcium carbonate, and black iron oxide. A 2N neutral color may include, but is not limited to, nylon 12, calcium carbonate, yellow iron oxide, red iron oxide, and black iron oxide. A 4N neutral color may include, but is not limited to nylon 12, calcium carbonate, yellow iron oxide, brown iron oxide, and black iron oxide. A 6N, 8N, and 10N neutral color may include, but is not limited to, zinc, calcium carbonate, yellow iron oxide, and brown iron oxide. A white color may include, but is not limited to, zinc and calcium carbonate. A red color may include, but is not limited to, nylon 12, calcium carbonate, and Red Iron Oxide. A blue color may include, but is not limited to, calcium carbonate, nylon 12, and Ultramarine Blue. A yellow color may include, but is not limited to, calcium carbonate, nylon 12, and yellow iron oxide. A green color may include, but is not limited to, nylon 12, calcium carbonate, and chromium oxide green matte. A bright red color may include, but is not limited to, nylon 12, calcium carbonate, and carmine. A purple color may include, but is not limited to, nylon 12, calcium carbonate, and manganese violet. A bright yellow color may include, but is not limited to, nylon 12, calcium carbonate, and Yellow #5. A dark blue color may include, but is not limited to, nylon 12, calcium carbonate, and ferric ferrocyanide. An orange color may include, but is not limited to, nylon 12, calcium carbonate, Carmine, and yellow iron oxide. As provided in Tables 7-22, an amount of an ingredient, by volume, for example colors, is provided in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. The disclosed range of each ingredient is intended to encompass and include about the lower amount of the range value, each amount between the range, and/or about the upper amount of the range value. For example, a range disclosed as including 25% to 35% could include about 25%, about 35%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, and/or 35%.

(48) One or more modifier(s) 112 are depicted in FIG. 2C, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. The modifier(s) 112 offer texture and application variation. The modifier(s) 112 may include cake, cream, liquid; heavy, light, or airbrush thin type textures. Modifier(s) 112 may include, but are not limited to, a favorite moisturizer, oil, such as jojoba or coconut, or other modifier(s) listed herein.

(49) As further depicted in FIG. 2C, 248, 250, and 252 represent liquid modifiers that are dispensed from dropper bottles. Modifier(s) 254, 256, 258, and 260 represent anhydrous modifiers of varying stiffness dispensed from squeeze tubes. 262, 264, and 266, represent emulsion modifiers of varying viscosity, and modifier 268 represents a gel Modifier. The modifiers may be mixed in any quantity and therefore are not necessarily part of a mixing recipe or included on a mixing chart because there is no minimum or maximum measurement. The amount of modifier(s) and which modifier(s) to use is very much consumer dependent, as the amount depends on the consumer's needs to achieve the desired illusory result. For example, the smallest amount of modifier 248, to any mix of primary(ies) 104 and/or color(s) 108 may enhance the vibrancy of the color 108, but a large amount of modifier 248 to a mix of primary(ies) 104 and/or color(s) 108 may disperse the makeup such that it is thin enough to be used in an airbrush machine and will need to build up in layers to achieve the most vibrancy.

(50) In terms of a modifier(s) (112), a modifier(s) 112 may include a mixture of one or more ingredients to achieve a desired alteration to texture and disbursement of the primary(ies) 104 and/or color(s) 108. For example, a vegetable modifier may include, but is not limited to, water and glycerin. A silicone modifier may include, but is not limited to water, glycerin, dimethiconde, cyclomethicone, hydroxyethylcellulose, and a preservative such as one or more of phenoxyethanl, paraben, and borax (sodium borate, sodium tetraborate, or disodium tetraborate). An oil modifier may include, but is not limited to, neem oil, coconut oil, and lemongrass. A soft wax modifier may include, but is not limited to, dionized water, beeswax, carnauba or rice bran wax, stearic acid, triethanolamine (TEA), candlile, dermacryl 79, cocoa butter, preservative, glycerin, and cetyl alcohol. A stiff wax modifier may include, but is not limited to, beeswax, cocoa butter, carnauba or rice bran wax, glycerin, caster oil, jojoba, water, and stearic acid. A cream modifier may include, but is not limited to, jojoba, vitamin E oil, rice bran wax or carnauba, water, stearic acid, and a preservative. A gel modifier may include, but is not limited to, water xanthan gum, grapeseed oil, and a preservative. As provided in Tables 23-37, an amount of an ingredient, by volume, for example modifiers, is provided in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. The disclosed range of each ingredient is intended to encompass and include about the lower amount of the range value, each amount between the range, and/or about the upper amount of the range value. For example, a range disclosed as including 25% to 35% could include about 25%, about 35%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, and/or 35%. A percentage to the right of the semicolon is a disclosed percentage for a first embodiment of the corresponding modifier. Alternatively, or in addition, Tables 23-37 provide an amount of an ingredient, by weight, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure.

(66) A measuring device 300 is depicted in FIG. 3 in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. The measuring device 300 generally includes a handle 302 and a measuring portion 304. The measuring device 300 generally prevents physical handling of ingredients such as primary(ies) 104 and color(s) 108 and provides ease in making measurements in accordance with FIG. 4.

(67) FIG. 4 depicts one or more recommended ratios for mixing primary(ies) 104 with color(s) 108 in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. Primary(ies) 104 and color(s) 108 are formulated to be mixed together in parts. If matte or luster are to be mixed, mixing according to the chart will achieve true level results. More matte and/or luster than color(s) 108 could result in a lighter, ashy appearance (unattached is a little different as it may not alter the color(s) 108; therefore, the color(s) 108 parts can be much less). More color(s) 108 than primary 104 may result in heavy, patchy results on skin. Using the measuring device 300, the primary(ies) 104 and color(s) 108 of correct proportions can be measured and then mixed.

(68) FIG. 5A depicts a flowchart of a method for the preparation of a primary(ies) 104 and/or color(s) 108 in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. The method 500A may begin at step 504 where all equipment necessary in the production of the particular primary 104 and/or color 108 is sterilized. Sterilization may include wiping, soaking, and/or heating such equipment to effectively remove contaminants. At step 508, agitators may be added to a mixing vessel; for example, glass balls numbering in the range of five to fifteen may be added to the mixing vessel. At step 512, ingredients are added to the mixing vessel. For example, if a 6N color is being mixed, zinc, calcium carbonate, yellow iron oxide, and brown iron oxide are measured and then added to the mixing vessel. At step 516, the ingredients may be mixed, sifted, and reclaimed. For example, the mixed ingredients may be sifted onto wax paper, collected, and then packaged at step 520. At step 522, the collected ingredients may then be optionally pressed into tablets.

(69) FIG. 5B depicts a flowchart of a method for the preparation of a modifier 112 in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. The method 500B may begin at step 504 where all equipment necessary in the production of the modifier 112 is sterilized. Sterilization may include wiping, soaking, and/or heating such equipment to effectively remove contaminants. At step 524, ingredients may be added to a mixing vessel. Optionally, heat may be applied to one or more ingredients at step 528. At step 532, the ingredients are mixed and then packaged into a container at step 536 and/or further mixed via shaking.

(70) FIG. 6 depicts a method 600 for mixing primary(ies) 104, color(s) 108, and modifier(s) 112 in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. At step 604, a color 108 is chosen. It is noted that multiple colors 108 may be mixed together to achieve a desired color. However, in some mixtures, the primary 104 and modifier 112 may impact the final end mixture color. At step 608, the chosen color 108 or colors 108 are added to one or more primaries 104. That is, at step 608, one or more primaries 104 are chosen based on a desired end product and/or effect and the previously chosen colors 108 are added to the chosen primary(ies) 104. At step 612, a modifier 112 may be added to the primary 104 and color 108 mixture to alter a texture of the primary 104 and color 108 mixture.

(71) It should be noted that adjustments to color 108 may be made in accordance with steps 612-632, and that such steps may be repeated if necessary. That is, at step 616, a consumer may choose to alter a level, undertone, or the color entirely for example. Thus, at step 620, a level may be changed by adding one or more neutrals for example to darken or lighten the resulting color mixture. Alternatively, or in addition, other rainbow colors may be utilized to lighten or darken the resulting color mixture. At step 624, undertone shifts may be performed by slightly adding one or more matching and/or contrasting colors. In accordance with at least one embodiment, the resulting color can be completely changed by intermixing rainbow colors to create secondary and tertiary colors, as provided at step 628.

(72) FIG. 6 also provides additional detail with respect to mixing and achieving a desired primary. For example, matte and luster primaries, when mixed with most colors, will most likely need double the amount of color, whereas when mixed with yellow and blue colors, the ratio is closer to one-to-one, as illustrated at step 636. For unattached primaries, the primary and color are generally mixed in a one-to-one ratio, where less than a one-to-one ratio may also produce satisfactory results, as illustrated at step 640. At step 632, the resulting colored primary may be adjusted with more color, other colors, and/or other makeup products.

(73) In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, the modifier(s) 112 may be mixed into the colored primary resulting from step 608. Creams, wax, and/or gel modifiers may be used to alter texture and function as illustrated at step 644. In some embodiments, the modifier may be added to alter texture, function, and/or color of other makeup products. At step 648, a modifier may be added directly to the colored primary mixture for use in airbrushing applications. Alternatively, or in addition, at step 652, the modifier may be added to a cosmetic applicator prior to dipping the cosmetic applicator in the colored primary mixture.

(74) The flow chart depicted in FIG. 6 can generally be used to mix any kind of makeup. As further provided in the U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62/266,140, filed Dec. 11, 2015, such a procedure may be used to mix blush, concealer, lipstick, eyeliner, day powder, primer, eye shadow, and any other type of cosmetic using various recommended ratios of primaries, colors, and modifiers.

(75) FIG. 7 is an example of a modular cosmetics kit 700 in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. The modular cosmetics kit 700, may include, but is not limited to, a package of primaries 704, a package of colors 720, a modifier 736, and/or a mixing tool 740, such as a mortar and pestle. The package of primaries 704 generally include tablets 708 packaged in blister packaging with perforations 710 for easy measuring and making adjustments to a mixture. For example, if a primary is needed for sensitive skin, a quarter of the primary 712 can be used instead of the whole tablet 708 of primary. The packaging itself can also have perforations 714 around each tablet 708 for ease of use, and ideally, the peel-off backing 716 may reseal such that other portions 718 of a tablet 708 may be utilized at a later point in time. The package of primaries 704 may include one or more primary(ies) 104, matte, luster, and/or unattached, and/or combinations thereof, pressed into tablets 708. The quantity of each tablet 708 may be double an amount of a color per the mixing instructions depicted in FIG. 4. Although the packaging 704 has been described as blister packaging and tablets, other forms of tablets, capsules, and packaging are envisioned.

(76) The package of colors 720 generally include tablets 724 packaged in blister packaging with perforations 726 for easy measuring and making adjustments to a mixture. For example, a quarter of the color 728 can be used instead of the whole tablet 724 of a color. The packaging itself can also have perforations 730 around each tablet 724 for ease of use, and ideally, the peel-off backing 732 may reseal such that other portions 734 of a tablet 724 may be utilized at a later point in time. The package of colors 720 may include one or more colors 108 or a mix of colors 108 for a package 720, and the tablets may be half the size of the primary(ies) 104 tablets 708 as per the mixing instruction depicted in FIG. 4. The modular cosmetics kit 700 may also include a modifier 736 in a container. The container may be capable of dispensing dosages of a predetermined amount. Moreover, the modular cosmetics kit 700 may also include a mortar and pestle 740 for mixing the primary tablet 708, the color tablet 724, and/or the dispensed modifier 736. The tablets 724 and/or 708 may be of various sizes and concentrations.

(77) In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, the modular cosmetic system 100 may be used to identify, eliminate, and/or reduce ingredients a consumer may be sensitive or otherwise allergic to. Moreover, simple, mineral ingredients, which can be specifically disclosed to the consumer are used such that the consumer may be able to avoid certain ingredients to achieve a same desired outcome using other ingredients. For example, mica is intentionally avoided in both pigments and the matte base. Those who experience skin irritation when wearing makeup are able to eliminate this variable (e.g., mica). Moreover, the separation of makeup media into three multifunctional parts: primaries, colors, and modifiers provides such ingredient customization. For example, modifiers tend to contain the more potentially irritating components in makeup, from oils to special-effect, synthetic ingredients such as silicones. However, the ingredients included in each modifier may be selected with the same simplistic principle as the primary and color powders for flexibility in sensitivity elimination. For sensitive skin, pigment concentration can be diluted with either primary without impacting color performance. Accordingly, synthetic ingredients, such as silicone, may not be included in a modifier. Alternatively, or in addition, an amount of synthetic ingredients, such as silicone, may be reduced when compared to conventional cosmetic products. Moreover, an amount of synthetic product, such as silicone, may be customizable based on a user's preferences. For example, a user may vary an amount and/or type of modifier based on a sensitivity to the ingredients in the modifier while still achieving a desired function and look of the cosmetic product.
