Aside from the cool factor of being able to create one’s own makeup, inventor Grace Choi cites two main reasons for creating Mink, a desktop printer that can instantly create eyeshadows, blushes, lipsticks, and more in any shade. One: Getting around the “bullshit” of makeup companies, which charge exorbitant amounts for more out-there colors than the pinks and reds you can find at any drug store. And two: Letting women and teenage girls personally control what beauty means to them by cutting out the toxic beauty standards of the companies that now serve as an unavoidable middleman. We approve of both those things. And holy crap, 3D printable makeup! So cool!
