An apparatus and method for custom blending and fabricating lipstick to
the specific demands of individual customers. The present invention
provides a kit which enables a user to blend various pigments to arrive
at a very specific shade, and then blend the desired shade with a
specific base to result in a desired consistency of lipstick, and which
also allows the blended bases and pigments to be heated to a liquefied
form and poured into a mold for hardening. Upon cooling and hardening, a
conventional lipstick case can be attached to the lipstick for removal
from the mold and use by the customer. The present invention therefore
not only allows a user to quickly attain the specific shade and
consistency of lipstick desired, but also eliminates the time consuming
and unsatisfactory process of visiting multiple stores having expansive
inventories of variously shaded and textured lipsticks.
