Q. What does it mean when you fill your makeup jars by volume?

A. It can be a little confusing a when you are purchasing mineral cosmetics...

  • When a product is filled by weight, they weigh the product and place it into the
    cosmetic jar. (weight does not include the jar, lid, or sifter.)
  • When a product is filled by volume. It means the cosmetic jar is filled to the
    capacity of the jar, all the way to the top.

Have you ever received a mineral makeup jar that was not full?

Many times a company will sell a
large jar & fill the jar by the weight of the product.
How mineral makeup jars are filled.
Volume vs. Weight
Often times the jar will arrive 1/2 empty...  it leaves you wondering... What happened?

Mineral makeup varies in weight. Foundations weigh different from eye shadows, setting
powders weigh different from blushes etc.

When companies measure by weight, some of your containers may arrive full, while others
will arrive 1/2 empty.
