pH-Reactive makeup is on the rise for its unique and stellar ability to tailor its hue accordingly to your skin tone. But how exactly does this chemical makeup work its magic?

According to experts, its pigments contain ingredients and dyes that act like pH indicators, where they are capable of changing tones in the presence of basic pH components of your cells and moisture.&nbsp;The dyes used in the products are usually designed with weaker pH values, thus appearing colourless. As the pH values of our faces are higher, a chemical reaction gets triggered, turning the clear, weak acid into a vibrant hue. While each individual carries different pH values, the response to the self-adjusting product may vary.&nbsp;
If you wish to introduce an element of surprise to your makeup routine, these colour-changing makeup options will be perfect for you.

Fusing with the natural shade of your lips, the sheer formula transforms into a shade that is uniquely yours.&nbsp;
