So by now everyone has heard of 3D printers but this one has a little more glam to it. Meet Mink, the 3D makeup printer! The desktop printer that prints makeup.
Mink is the brainchild of Grace Choi. The printer, is a miniature 3D printer that can print anything from powders to lipsticks. You can seemingly make any makeup color you wish. The printer is configured to work with image software already on your PC/Mac and you can either type hex code in for the color, or screenshot the color and send the print job to the printer, and ta-da you've got makeup!
Thinking about how much it costs to purchase good makeup i.e MAC, Sephora, or shopping in high end stores for products. This could be a good investment. It is said that it will retail for less than $200. This could seemingly be a really good thing for those interested in being makeup artists or the girly girl with some money to spend and likes makeup.
Will you be investing in this? I'll keep you posted on this as more information is released

Hmm, this could be interesting. I think that it actually has some potential, though I would need to see if this would produce a product that is hypoallergenic. I can also see the potential for some great color blends that are bold and bright. I could use this for cosplay especially, if I want to match a character's makeup but can't readily find the color, and don't expect to use it everyday. I would have quantity control, so I could print a little or a lot, as my needs dictate. I'd like to see more, so I'll follow along for updates!
ReplyDeleteThanks Caraiya! I am excited about this! It's so nice when glam and tech can meet in the middle. As soon as I know more you will too!
