Color changing makeup from Philippines

[cyph]

Wasn't sure if this belonged in Misc. or here, but I guess since it features a new (?) technology I'd post it here. Stumbled upon this vid, pretty crazy stuff :-O

Since she doesn't explain HOW it works, I admit to being slightly skeptical that it wasn't all just faked. But there does appear to be a valid Kulai Cosmetics website.

In 2001, Dr. Joselita Aquino was at the time a graduate student at Ateneo de Manila University , developing her thesis on an electrically controlled color-changing solid. Utilizing a non-toxic magnetic metal compound for the solid’s base, it was found that when the solid was turned into a powder form, the metal compound was light and free enough to shift the reflective properties of each individual particle, yet sustain a constant state throughout the whole powder. By shifting the reflective properties, a shift of the powder’s color was observed. This color shift was achieved by conducting a specific electrical waveform throughout the powder; color change was achieved by varying the signal frequency while level change (dark to light) was controlled by varying the voltage amplitude. This is the essence of Color Shift Technology.

Sounds plausible I guess. Maybe I've just become used to Treknobabble? But the real fun of a product like that would be to change the makeup while it's on the wearer - either the wearer can change it, or friends can. And since you need the little green fake-looking doohickey to change the color on the pot, that doesn't seem possible.

Also, I gotta wonder just how rigorously this product has been tested for any health issues.

True... but then again, it's the Philippines; I'm sure health regulations are a bit looser in a developing nation

You just made my wife's nipples hard, thank you.

Yeeeah...that was my assumption too. I'm not going to placing an order anytime soon.

Is it me or did the table cover change its hue slightly a couple of times?

You're quite correct. The color temperature of the entire shot every time the "makeup" changes color. I call shenanigans.

But it's made by a doctor!
