A method of mixing customized cosmetic products at a point of sale is
disclosed. The method includes a suspension free of colorant to a
container, adding one or more suspensions containing one or more
colorants on top of the non-colorant containing suspension and adding one
or more suspensions containing additional non-colorant ingredients on top
of the one or more suspensions including the colorants, closing the
container and mixing the suspension using a gyroscopic-type or
rotary-type mixing apparatus. The container sidewall and bottom surface
are coated with suspensions not containing colorant which prevents
colorant materials from adhering to the sidewall and bottom portion of
the container thereby providing for a more effective mixing of a
customized cosmetic product at the point of purchase.
