Choi created a how-to video and provided Business Insider with step-by-step instructions on how to 3D print lipsticks, eye shadows and nail polishes.
Here's what you'll need:
- A home printer (Choi recommends an HP 6100 which retails for $70)
- A tool like Photoshop, which can pull a hex color from an image online
- Refillable ink cartridges
- Ink (edible ink/vegetable based ink because they're FDA approved). Choi adds: "Make sure they're compatible with your government's regulations! There is a bit of trial and error here with vendors. You can also custom formulate the inks by starting with the compatible raw pigments/dyes."
- Some blank/white cosmetics (think BIC White Out for a nail polish base, white powder, or a clear gloss for lipstick)
- Pliers and a screwdriver
