Mink Printer Lets You Print Your Own Makeup

Grace Choi was at Harvard Business School when she decided that she would do something to introduce a disruption in the beauty industry. After doing her fair bit of research, she realized that beauty brands create prior to marking up their products by a whole lot through the mixing of plenty of colors.

Choi shared at TechCrunch Disrupt earlier this week, “The makeup industry makes a whole lot of money on a whole lot of bulls**t. They charge a huge premium on something that tech provides for free. That one thing is color.”

Choi is referring to widely available color printers that anyone can own, where the ink used is the same kind of ink that makeup companies use in their products. According to Choi, this ink has also been approved by the FDA. This has led her to develop a mini home printer dubbed as Mink which will cost $300, allowing anyone to print their own makeup after obtaining the color code off color photos on the Internet.

In her video demonstration, Choi first selected a color that she would like to print via the color picker, then pasted the hex code of that color to Microsoft Paint or Photoshop’s new document. Then, print that color, just like when you print a normal document on the computer. In Choi’s demonstration, she decided to print her very own pink eye shadow.

Choi says her machine will print creamy lipsticks or powdery eye shadows.
