With its unique molecular structure, silicone plays a key role in liquid foundation, making the makeup more lasting and delicate and light.
Silicone has excellent slipperiness. When applying liquid foundation, it can reduce the friction between the product and the skin, allowing the liquid foundation to spread easily, evenly cover the skin, and present a natural makeup effect. Its good film-forming property forms a thin and breathable film on the surface of the skin, which tightly locks the liquid foundation to prevent makeup from coming off and fading, and enhances the staying power. Even in high temperature and high humidity environments, the makeup can remain intact for a long time.
Silicone is even better at improving skin feel. It can effectively reduce the greasy and heavy feeling of liquid foundation, bring a refreshing and silky skin touch, and avoid burdening the skin. After applying liquid foundation containing silicone, the skin is like a layer of gauze, with a delicate touch and a matte or shimmering makeup effect, which meets the needs of different groups of people. For example, some high-end liquid foundations add silicone elastomer powder to give the product a velvety smooth skin feel, achieve oil control and soft-focus pore effects, and create a delicate makeup.
Silicone can also improve the stability of liquid foundation. It has good compatibility with other ingredients, helping pigments, fillers, etc. to be evenly dispersed in the system, preventing precipitation and stratification, and extending the shelf life of the product. Some silicones have a certain moisturizing property. While setting makeup, they replenish moisture for the skin, maintain the skin's hydration state, and avoid powder sticking due to dryness.
With its unique properties, silicone improves the quality of liquid foundation in all aspects, from texture, makeup effect, durability to stability, and brings consumers a better makeup experience. With the advancement of technology, the application of silicone in the field of cosmetics will continue to expand and innovate, bringing more surprises to beauty products.
