Makeup

We're Jazi and Danielle, and we made up our minds to make some makeup! We took a cool chemistry class where we learned about what makes cosmetics look, smell, and feel good. We created a formula for lip gloss, and shared our beautiful results with our friends. But our curiosity didn't end when the class did; we want to make our products even better! Our DragonflyTV question: How can we create an even better lip gloss formula?

How Would You Investigate This Question?
To create a makeup formula, research what ingredients are commonly used in cosmetics. Are they specialty ingredients, or stuff you can find at your house or a common drugstore? Once you've determined your ingredient list, find out how makeup is actually, well, made. How are the contents combined? Are they heated or cooled? Why? And how can you package them to make sure they are easy to use, and won't spoil? Write your ideas in your notebook and discuss them with your classmates and your teacher. Then watch the video segment, or go to Makeup to check out Jazi and Danielle's fantastic formula.
