What is make up made from?

                        What is make-up made from?

        -Castor oil is found in most make-up products. The colours are made from things like crushed bugs and rust. Some dangerous and harmful ingredients could be inside your make-up and when they were tested over 80 percent of make up products had those ingredients such as DEA and TEA. Fragrance and dye's can also lead to allergies.

 -Foundation used to be made from animal fat but it is now made from water, silicone etc which is why they are called water or silicone based foundations. Lipsticks are mostly made from ingredients such as synthetic dye and pigment. Perfume is made from many different ingredients such as extracts from other fragrances and raw materials such as spices and herbs, most perfumes are alcohol based  and are simply just blended with scented oils.
