In cosmetics, colors are used to indicate a lot of things. The most common reason for giving so many colors is for spoiling the consumer with a choice of numerous shades to go with their attire.

Decorative dyes in cosmetics are often used in types of cosmetics such as blush, eye shadow, and lipstick. However, the use of dyes in cosmetic products has been regulated by the regulator such as in Peraturan Kepala BPOM No. 23 2019 in Appendix V about materials that are not permitted to be used in cosmetic products, one of which is the dyes.
