Here’s a lipstick mockup that works well for a skincare label, a tube design and similar projects.
It’s a handy file for packaging designers and cosmetic startups. A small tip: transparent or glass items show the background through. Test your label on the actual background colour you’ll use.
It’s also a good way to compare a few label directions side by side without printing anything.
Good for
- A skincare label

Lipstick Mockup: editable parts
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Label artwork, placed through the smart object
- Background colour
- Highlights and reflections
Add your design to the Lipstick Mockup
- Design the label flat and keep the logo in the middle third, where the curve bends it least.
- Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Change the background to your brand colour.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Another tip: beauty packaging relies on small type and lots of white space. Resist filling the label.

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this cosmetic packaging mockup for client work?
That depends on the author's terms. The download page lists what is allowed; when in doubt, ask the author directly.
How do I put my artwork on the cosmetic packaging?
Find the smart object layer (it has a small icon on its thumbnail), double-click it, place your design, then save and close that tab.
Which Photoshop version do I need?
A recent Photoshop CC version is best. Older versions can open the file but sometimes have trouble with smart objects and effects.
Can I change the liquid or container colour?
Most bottle, can and cup mockups keep the container colour on its own layer. Liquid colour, where visible, is usually adjustable too.
