    The white cast on that lip pencil is wax bloom and indicates the pencils were stored at too high a temperature at some point before purchase. This isn't difficult to believe since their place of origin is Mexico. You can also see this phenomenon on chocolate that is stored in temps high enough to allow some waxes to come out of the crystalline structure without being hot enough to liquefy it completely. Wax bloom is harmless, but the loss of wax in the structure can change the textures of things slightly.

      I’ve had the white cast before- as you pointed out, most likely from temperature exposure

    • @kfemme68
      @kfemme68 Год назад +8

      Yes, I remember buying lip pencils and maybe eye pencils in the past that had the wax bloom. I don't know that I've had one like that in quite a few years but I'm 54 so I've been wearing makeup for a long time. 😜
      Thanks for the information. Take care all and big hugs, k

      Great info! I had feeling it was wax bloom but I’ve never seen on a pencil like that before so it was concerning. The texture on that one vs the Italy one was much different though. The one with wax bloom was super dry

      I was coming to say the layman's version of this, thank you! I've had wax bloom on my Colourpop liners (eye & lip)... I'm surprised so many people don't know or are unsure what this phenomena is when they see it. Thank you for dropping the science knowledge!

      I think it was last year or the one before, she gave tutorials (LIVE, ifrc), on eyeshadow placement for various shaped eyes.
      She had umm, cards with various shapes & color combinations. I KNOW there had to have been a ton of planning to make the presentation.
      *whispers, I took screenshots of a few that I thought would work for myself*.

    Years ago Wayne Goss said there were only 3-4 companies that made lip liners. I've seen a white cast plenty of time on lip pencils. I've always found it to be a slightly drier pencil and that's the only difference.

  • @thedhufty

    These kinds of videos are so valuable to me. Having retired very early due to chronic health issues, I had to start buying more affordable products. Since I was stuck at home, I started learning about ingredients and I can honestly say that my makeup collection is almost all affordable products! The most difficult product for me to find was face powder. But the Elf Halo Glow powder is working beautifully~ LOVING your content!!☺

    You are the perfect bridge between cosmetic chemist and ingredient geek and I am loving it. While I love watching the chemists go into the molecular formation and break down sometimes my brain loses the plot and I don't bring it back around to the product in my hand. This is fantastic for spring to my 12yr old budding mua - she's just like me and interacts with things based on how they work and less of what label they're wearing.

I think you should check it out when you are looking for a new powder :-)
