 * THE STUDY OF THE DURABILITY OF LIPSTICK**

The purpose of this experiment was to determine which lipsticks were the most durable based on brand and color. There are many steps it takes to make a lipstick formula that is hydrophobic and will last. The amount of light that various brands of lipstick allowed through after being sprayed with water was tested. Overall, Loreal was proven to be the most stable and hydrophobic of the three brands. Because the Loreal lipstick is meant to, after being applied, dry into more of a stain consistency, it was shown to resist water the best.

 * EXPERIMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS AND FUTURE EXPERIMENTS**

Being more consistent with where my lamp was placed and how it was angled at the protector sheet would improve the experiment and make give it the most exact results. Also, being cautious while applying the lipstick will insure that each sheet has an even amount. In the future, different colors of lipstick could be tested on their durability against wind as well as maybe does the pigment added affect the durability of the lipstick all around.
