I Tried A Custom Lipstick Printer

HELLO FRIENDS!!! yes, this thang is **not cheap**, but unfortunately Loreal has targeted me as a consumer 100%, so I had to snag it. what do you guys think of this thing?? any special large pots in your life that you'd like to create a matching lipstick for?? xoxo, saf - P.S. closed captions will be up ASAP!

I feel like this printer would be instantly improved by just adding permanent white and black for changing up the saturation and how light and dark it can get.

Tina Yong had reviewed another gadget like this called the "Goplay Lipskit" which was much cheaper than the YSL one and had more shade options! Maybe you should also try using that! And compare between it and YSL

Another flaw I haven't seen mentioned is that you can't buy a cartridge seperately, you have to get the set. So if you consistently run out of one colour, you have to get the two others that come with the set as well. It's a cool piece of technology but there seems to be a whole list of flaws that need to get adressed before the next version comes out.

You are spot on when you said they should have made CMYK cartridges. Then the color options would have been endless. The reason why they made the cartridges red, pink, etc. families is so they could sell more of them. A cool product idea that YSL ruined by putting profit over the innovative potential for beauty technology

I definitely thought it would be a "find a shade, insert these cartridges" situation. Also a black and white cartridge would make this so much more versitile!

I really wish they included black, white, as well as primary colors to lighten or darken the shades to make it more customizable.

Almost every feature of this machine seems to have a glaring flaw. They must have spent their R&D budget on lunch. The cartridge sets are all similar colors, so most of the shades they are going to be able to make with 3 very similar colors are probably indistinguishable from each other. The software not being smart enough to tell you what cartridges to use and instead of you having to specifically limit its options is the exact opposite of how it should work. If it printed in CMYK, its existence would make sense but if you're just mixing similar colors to get another shade in the same family, why can't you just do that yourself? It's not exactly complicated. And it seems pretty inaccurate itself.

And now I want to see Safiya try the other colour printer, that is significantly cheaper and has all the friary colours PLUS black and white!

As someone who uses one shade and one shade only of lipstick, I have no use for this but it was FASCINATING! (And the first I’ve heard of it, if that makes you feel better about getting it late haha)

As much as I love the livestreams I can’t get enough of old school “saf tries” videos❤️❤️❤️

This is a perfect example of a product that could've been super awesome if the creators had just done even a LITTLE bit of user testing.

When a brand actually makes what we want, a.k.a. a lipstick maker with blue/yellow/red/black/white ink, I am so there.

If it could mix up "weirder" shades it would be PERFECT, as you wouldn't have to buy a whole lipstick of a shade you rarely get to use lol

I feel like 5 tubes (CMYK+White) would REALLY help this machine reach it’s full spectral potential. Or at least the ability to mix and match the tubes to get broader color options

I feel like they didn’t spend enough time developing this… kind of smart because everyone will buy it to try it out and then when they release more ‘revolutionary’ additions people will be excited and buy it again

Idea: create a lipstick with this (of anything really) and then take a photo of the lipstick you just made. Then create a colour with that photo of the lipstick. Keep repeating until it is a completely different shade.

the fact that they didn't have bases for "weirder" colors seems like such a missed opportunity. That being said, I would totally want to try it and see if I can make LaoGanMa Red haha.

Omg as a makeup artist this lipstick printer would re revolutionary not only with the color variety but also for sanitization! 😱

I love how supportive Tyler is in every video. I’m sure behind the scenes this takes forever and it’s nice that u can never hear any type of annoyance in his voice
