“…For comparison of results, two different approaches were applied. In the case of ATR‐FTIR and UAE/GC‐MS, the correlation coefficient (CC) was used followed by visual analysis (details in [25] and [26]), whereas in analyzing of the CE results a only visual comparison of the electropherograms was performed.…”

“…A reference sample – lipstick L34 – was provided for comparative analysis. The reference sample was prepared on a specially designed and 3D‐printed stand described in our previous publication [26]. Additionally, since it was a liquid lipstick, the chemical composition of which takes time to stabilize when applied to the substrate, a special approach was used.…”

“…Consequently, the aim of this study was to use a multitechnique methodology for the comparative analysis of the red lipsticks traces and to confirm the usefulness of four methods of different physicochemical characteristics in this kind of examination. Two nondestructive methods − attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR‐FTIR) [25] and confocal Raman microscopy (CRM), as well as two destructive ones preceded by ultrasound‐assisted extraction (UAE), gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) [26] and micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) [27] − were used. The ATR and Raman techniques provide information about the individual components (the structure of molecules) present in the samples.…”

“…Compared to methods involving wax removal [18, 23] or solvent evaporation [20, 23], this significantly reduces the possibility of contamination and the duration of the entire procedure. The GC‐MS separation method [26] enables the efficient separation of the analytes in a relatively short time (21 min). This method is almost three times shorter than the method available in the literature [18].…”

“…It appears to be the technique of choice for these purposes, since that time there have been several publications describing lipsticks examination with the use of the ATR‐FTIR method [28–32]. Regarding separation methods proposed by authors (presented in detail in [26,27]), both extraction procedures are quick and simple ways to extract components from such complicated matrix as lipstick. They require only 5 steps of sample preparation.…”

Cosmetics are becoming more and more popular; consequently, the chance of finding them as microtraces at a crime scene increases. They are easily transferable and can provide a link between a suspect and a victim. For this reason, identifying and comparative analysis of red lipstick – the most popular and used – is required. The aim of this study was to apply a multitechnique methodology for the comparative forensic analysis of the red lipsticks traces of a very similar hue. For this purpose, four methods of different physicochemical basics – two nondestructive spectroscopic and two destructive separation techniques – were used. The possibilities and advantages of attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR‐FTIR), confocal Raman microscopy (CRM), capillary electrophoresis (MEKC) and gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) have been combined. Specially prepared lipstick traces in various forms (imprints, smears) on different surfaces (absorbent and nonabsorbent) were analyzed to confirm the usefulness of the proposed methods. The premise is that if two methods yield a consistent result, the investigation is terminated at this stage. All investigated traces were properly identified. First, the ATR‐FTIR method as a nondestructive technique is recommended. Sometimes, due to strong interferences from the substrates, the newly proposed method with the use of confocal Raman microscopy may be an alternative. The next recommendation is the MEKC method. Only in case of the absence of unambiguous conclusions, it is proposed to use the GC‐MS method. This methodology has the potential to be applied in the comparative analysis of red lipsticks for forensic purposes.

Cosmetics such as makeup or other personal products are widely used and easily transferred upon physical contact. As such, they may be used as trace evidence to link people to each other or to places in criminal investigations. To maximize their probative value, it is important to understand the variability among representative market products and the way in which they transfer to, or persist on various surfaces. Additionally, it is required that analysis techniques be non‐destructive, readily available and relatively inexpensive. Raman spectroscopy and attenuated total reflectance—Fourier transform infrared (ATR‐FTIR) are powerful tools for probing the chemistry of trace cosmetics. As well as fitting the criteria above, they offer the capability of studying a wide range of sample types with minimal prior preparation. The complementary information derived from these techniques can help analysts to understand and visualize spectral variability, potentially enabling discrimination between samples. However, the move from academic research toward forensic casework is not without challenges. In this article, we provide a focused exploration of the current state‐of‐the‐art in forensic cosmetic research; providing context for how we may begin to address these challenges to more effectively exploit cosmetic traces for criminal investigation.This article is categorized under: Forensic Chemistry and Trace Evidence > Emerging Technologies and Methods Forensic Chemistry and Trace Evidence > Trace Evidence
