Matte Velvet Long-Lasting Waterproof Lipstick Formula

To create a long-lasting, waterproof matte velvet lipstick, you can follow the guidance provided, focusing on key ingredients like Oil Film (Long-Wear) for durability and Mica powder for the velvet texture.

Oil Film (Long-Wear), specifically Hydrogenated Polycyclopentadiene, is a polymer that forms a film to help makeup last longer and become waterproof. This is crucial for the long-wearing and waterproof properties you desire.

Mica powder is used to achieve the velvet and matte finish. Different particle sizes and coatings of Mica can influence the final texture and appearance. Using Mica helps provide a smooth, soft feel and a matte look.

Here is an example formula for a matte lipstick that utilizes these principles. You can adjust the proportions of Mica powder and EasyMix colors to achieve your desired shade and velvet intensity.

• Isododecane: 26%
• Microcrystalline Wax: 7%
• Oil Film (Long-Wear): 18%
• Silk Mica Powder: 24%
• EasyMix colors: 25%
• Mild Preserved Eco: 1%

In this formula:

• Isododecane acts as a solvent and helps the formula spread easily.
• Microcrystalline Wax provides structure and helps create the solid lipstick form.
• Oil Film (Long-Wear) (Hydrogenated Polycyclopentadiene) ensures long-lasting wear and water resistance.
• Silk Mica Powder and EasyMix colors provide the color and contribute to the matte, velvet texture.
• Mild Preserved Eco acts as a preservative.

Remember to mix the ingredients thoroughly according to standard cosmetic formulation practices, typically involving heating the wax and oil phases together before incorporating powders and heat-sensitive ingredients like the preservative.
