    To determine adulterants in cosmetics?
    So I have taken this as the topic for my investigatory project in chemistry, however I am not able to find any convenient way to do it.
    How can we prove that a lipstick contains lead in it or a foundation and concealers have color in them, in a simple way.
    And can we do it with the process of qualitative analysis, like showing a precipitate of lead in lipsticks??
    I need answers ASAP.
    Thanks...

    Does your lab at school, have the equipment to test for this ?

    No simple way. Lab tests using Qualitative and Quantitative analysis.
