color recipes - This book is a necessity
if you plan on making your own mineral cosmetics and/or
body products. We sell a book "Mineral Cosmetics
Made Easy", which are given bases for making foundations, eyeshadows, blushes,
bronzers and more. "The Coloring Book" makes everything much
easier and less confusing.
When we first started creating our own line of cosmetics, we
found that finding a recipe to make any colorant was
not to be found, and for others, following CMYK wheels
can get very confusing.
Most coloring wheels you purchase are made strictly for
making webpage backgrounds. Makeup colors and
background colors are two different systems. Given
this reason, we decided to remedy our recipe problems
by comprising this book with
ready-made formulas to help us and to help those that would like to make
mineral cosmetics. These ready-made formulas can make your items a
fun project. Making your own colors is not only a fun project, but
a very lucrative one. How nice it is to be able
to never have to pay high prices again.

Most artists recognize red, yellow and blue as the 3 basic primary
colors. These primaries are the pure hues which cannot be created by combining
any other. Secondary hues are the result of combining any of the two primaries.
Tertiary result from combining the secondary hues.
RGB stands for Red, Green and Blue and is the system used on display
screens , such as computers, to generate colors.
CYMK (or CMYK) stands for Cyan, Yellow, Magenta and black and is
the system used in many print processes to generate colors. Inkjet printers
are a very good example – they generate the whole range of natural colors
(often to near photographic quality) from just three or four different inks
plus the white of the paper they are printed on.
The use of these colored inks to achieve an image is known as a
subtractive coloring process. An area of yellow is the result of a pigment
that absorbs (or subtracts) all of the other two colors to achieve the
result.
Subtractive systems start with white light. Certain wave lengths
are subtracted from this white light by means of colored inks, paints or
film are placed between the viewer and the light source or reflective surface
(such as white paper), creating the end result .
Conversely, an additive system is a system that starts with no
light (black) and wavelengths are added to produce different hues by means
of adding light sources.
The CMYK System works with pigments as opposed to the RGB system,
which uses lights. The four primary pigments are cyan, magenta, yellow and
black. Each of the colors in the CMYK spectrum is created by using inks or
paints to absorb the energy from white light. White light is a composition
the wave lengths of every hue, which is why it is white in the first place,
The coloring reflected by the canvas represents the energy that was not absorbed
from the white light. For this reason, it is also known as the Subtractive
colors System. The subtractive system is the system used to formulate
makeup.
The primary CMYK pigments are cyan, magenta and yellow. Black (K)
is also considered to be a primary pigment, and this will create darker versions
of the other pigments. Black can also be created by combining cyan, magenta
and yellow in large amounts. The CMYK system is used for printed illustrations.
It uses pigments as opposed to light. The difference between these is that
where colors exist by representing energy reflected from a luminous object
(such as a flashlight), pigments represent energy that is not absorbed by
substances such as ink or paint. For this reason, it is known as the Subtractive
Colour System.
