Facing the World of Cosmetics
The cosmetic industry is constantly evolving. From virtual try-on to ingredient transparency, big developments are inspiring leading brands to embark on high-tech overhauls across product development, manufacturing, marketing, and customer experience. As the cosmetics industry continues to shift to new demographics, trends, and products, cosmetic color measurement solutions are more important than ever.
Cosmetics like lipstick, nail polish, foundation, and eyeshadow are made from a variety of textured and wet surfaces, including powders, creams, and liquids. This creates a challenge for manufacturers who must measure and control cosmetic color and packaging, consistently and between product lines. X-Rite’s cosmetic color measurement solutions capture color, appearance, brilliance, and effects, without contaminating the measurement device optics, for brand-consistent results.
X-Rite’s solutions ensure color accuracy for cosmetic color measurement by:
- Eliminating common visual errors caused by inadequate lighting or random visual inspection
- Integrating consistent, precise color quality control throughout an operation
- Reducing waste and rework caused by mismatched colors
- Achieving color harmony from design to print to shelf
