Abstract
A hydrocarbonous-based cosmetic product, such as a lipstick, has its surface treated by means of a plasma treatment process employing a halogen gas. The treated (i.e., halogenated) surface has a uniform, satin-matte finish, as well as a lower wetting angle with respect to certain materials capable of providing the cosmetic product with an ultra-glossy finish. Thus, if such materials are subsequently applied to the halogenated surface of the cosmetic product, the cosmetic product can be provided with an ultra-glossy finish.
