15 Color-Changing Beauty Products

From Thermal Nail Lacquers to Transformative Gray Lipsticks

These color-changing beauty products offer a range of novel features and functional benefits that help to truly add more interest to the use of everything from lip balms and face cleansers to blush cosmetics.

Some outrageous color cosmetics in blue, gray, black and green aren't necessarily wearable for the average consumer but these transformative items still allow for all the indulgence in boldly hued products. While products like Lipstick Queen's Black Lace Rabbit Blush and Winky Lux's pH-activated Rainbow Balm change on contact with the skin, other kinds of cleansers and face masks boast color-changing properties to communicate the efficacy of a product's transformative qualities.

Appealing to consumers who are drawn to products with nostalgic features, nail polish products in particular are drawing parallels to mood rings and are even branding themselves as "mood nail polish" cosmetics.
