A dropper bottle label looks better on a metallic cosmetic tube mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that. The metallic surface is the main character here, so designs with some contrast stand out best.
It’s a handy file for packaging designers and cosmetic startups. One thing worth knowing: beauty packaging relies on small type and lots of white space. Resist filling the label.
Labels behave differently once they wrap around a shape, and this is where you find out if yours still reads. A shelf of two or three variants in different colours makes a strong hero image.
Works well for
- A dropper bottle label
- A tube design

What you can edit in this Metallic Cosmetic Tube Mockup
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Label artwork, placed through the smart object
- Background colour
- Shadows
Add your design to the Metallic Cosmetic Tube Mockup
- Prepare the label with a little space around the edges for the highlights.
- Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
One more thing: metallic and glossy finishes look best with a little contrast in the label; very flat pastel labels can look printed on paper.
Where the Metallic Cosmetic Tube Mockup works best

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this cosmetic packaging mockup for client work?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Pixpine. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I add my design?
Open the file in Photoshop, double-click the smart object thumbnail, paste or place your artwork in the new tab, save it (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close. The main file updates on its own.
Do I need Photoshop?
Yes. This is a PSD mockup built with smart objects, so you edit it in Adobe Photoshop. Any recent CC version works.
Will the label bend with the shape?
Good curved-product mockups use a warp so the label wraps around. The preview shows it: if the edges of the label curve away, it does.
