Mascara Tube

This project involved a custom 9.5ml mascara container developed for a premium cosmetic brand.

The packaging features a smoothly curved round bottle enhanced with layered surface decoration techniques.

The client aimed to create a distinct look and tactile experience. A gradient finish transitions from a wine red at the topper to a rich black at the base, combined with an all-over water-drop effect to create depth and visual movement.

The Challenge
01
02
Achieving a natural color gradient from red to black smoothly
Creating a realistic and uniform water-drop effect across curved surfaces
03
04
Ensuring strong adhesion and clarity of the decoration on both glossy and matte finishes
Maintaining consistency between sampling and mass production
High-gloss vs Matte Finish
Two finish options were developed for the same form. The glossy version: delivers a bold, reflective metallic look. The matte version: offers a quieter, more refined feel.

Gradient & Water-drop Effect

The bottle transitions from a metallic wine red at the cap

to a deep black at the base. The all-over water-drop texture adds tactile depth and visual movement across the entire curved surface.

Solution & Result

• Integrated multiple surface finishing including gradient spraying, water-drop effect, and dual-finish textures.

• Controlled color transition through custom color matching to achieve depth and consistency.
• Clear differentiation between glossy metallic and matte finishing.
• Implemented strict quality control from sampling to bulk production

This project shows how precise equipment, controlled processes, and coordinated color development work together to make high-density decoration reliable at scale.
