The Impact of Different Designs of Eye Shadow Stampers on Eye Shadow Quality

In the cosmetics production process, eye shadow stampers (also known as pressed powder molds) are an important process that gives eye shadow products their final form. Different stamper designs not only shape the patterns and shapes on the surface of eye shadow, but also profoundly affect the key qualities of the product, such as powder compactness, powder collection effect, and visual beauty. This article will deeply analyze the various designs of eye shadow stampers and their impact on the overall performance of eye shadow, to help brands and consumers understand the value behind the stamping process.

1. Depth of stamper: Determines compaction and color rendering

The depth of the stamper directly affects the compaction, that is, the degree of compaction of the eye shadow powder.

Shallow mold: The pressing force is relatively small, the powder is soft, the powder is easy to collect, and the color saturation is high, but it may be easier to fly powder or drop slag during transportation and use.

Deep mold: The pressing is more compact, the powder cake has high hardness, better breakage resistance and durability, but it needs to be brushed multiple times when taking powder.

In order to balance color development and durability, many brands will adjust the depth of the mold for different formulas, and balance the compactness and ease of use of the powder through the process.

2. Pattern shape: balance beauty and functionality

The pattern and shape design on the surface of the eyeshadow mold are used to enhance visual appeal and increase product recognition, such as embossed flowers, brand LOGO, geometric lines, etc.; on the other hand, it will also affect the powder collection and makeup experience.

Flat mold: The texture is shallow, the surface is smooth, and the powder is collected evenly, which is suitable for novices.

Three-dimensional texture mold: The surface has obvious undulations, which can allow the bristles to rub more with the powder and increase the amount of powder, but precise operation is required to avoid taking too much powder at one time.

Multi-layer structure mold: The three-dimensional gradient is formed through different levels of mold depth, which is not only beautiful, but also gradually reveals the underlying pattern during the use of the powder tray, increasing the fun and experience.

3. Partition design: Strengthen product function distribution

Many multi-color eye shadow palettes introduce partitioned molds in the mold design, separating eye shadows with different formulas or functions with different patterns, such as:

The matte area is pressed delicately and smoothly

The pearlescent area is designed with a deeper texture to enhance powder adhesion

The highlight area has a slightly lower compaction degree for efficient powder extraction

Partitioned molds not only enhance the professionalism of the product, but also facilitate users to use it accurately and avoid color mixing.

4. Mold and formula adaptation: Improve powder stability

Different powder formulas also have different adaptability to molds. Eye shadows containing large-particle raw materials such as high-proportion pearlescent and metallic light require higher pressure during mold pressing, and are matched with appropriate mold depth and exhaust groove design to prevent cracks or uneven surfaces. Professional factories usually conduct test pressure first to confirm the matching of the mold and the formula, and then put it into mass production to ensure the stable quality of each eye shadow.

5. Extension of brand value by mold pressing

Today, mold design has become an important means for cosmetics brands to create differentiation. Exquisite and complex three-dimensional relief is not only a functional craft, but also a reflection of brand aesthetics and product value. An eyeshadow palette with exquisite carving and unique craftsmanship is more likely to become a topic on social media and increase users' desire to buy.

In summary, eyeshadow stamping seems simple, but it has multiple influences on craftsmanship, formula, vision and user experience. Whether it is the depth design, pattern shape, or partition structure, the factory and the brand need to repeatedly debug in the research and development stage to take into account both aesthetics and practicality. In the future, with the continuous innovation of stamping technology and material technology, eyeshadow products will usher in more unique shapes and high-quality experiences, and continue to lead the new trend of makeup consumption.
