Although the world of beauty is increasingly becoming futuristic, the latest tech savvy innovation in makeup involves a pen which claims to simplify your beauty routine. Called the Mink Pen, this new product is the brainchild of Harvard graduate Grace Choi, who also created a 3D beauty printer in 2014.<\/p>\n

According to Refinery29.com<\/a>, the pen claims to utilize an app which can identify the CMY colour value shades of cyan, magenta, and yellow in a makeup tone. Next, the technology aims to colour match shades which are spotted in photos, and allow beauty lovers to create matching products. The app will provide a code, while the pen itself is used to take this colour combination into account and craft similar tones of makeup.<\/p>\n

To actually create similar makeup, users must measure and pour in the correct ratio of cyan, magenta and yellow colours into the pen. Next, the colours are combined with a specially created powder and can be converted into lip, eye and cheek shades.<\/p>\n

For makeup mavens who are constantly coming across unique lipstick, eyeshadow or blush shades on Instagram, this just may prove to be a helpful new method. After all, the pen and the accompanying app are designed to take a closer look at eye-catching colours and draw beauty inspiration from them.<\/p>\n

Choi explains the process of using the Mink Pen in a YouTube video, which walks viewers through the technique. Here\u2019s a closer look at the clip:<\/p>\n
