Question
I want to create a mineral makeup foundation with a mousse texture. I have two potential formulas:
1. MMU foundation + Satin Mousse
2. MMU foundation + Isododecane + Silicone gel base
Which formula is correct or suitable for achieving a mousse texture, and why is the other one not suitable?
Answer
Based on the staff's advice:
To create a mineral makeup foundation with a mousse-like texture, your second proposed formula is correct:
- MMU foundation
- Isododecane
- Silicone gel base
Your first proposed formula using satin mousse is not suitable because satin mousse requires the water phase to be significantly larger than the oil phase (at least 60% water), which is not the case in your proposed oil-heavy mixture for a mousse foundation.
