Best Cosmetic Mockup Generators

Nothing beats a high-quality mockup generator that you can get for $7.95 (and start for FREE).

But go for a monthly ($14.95/month) or yearly ($89.69/year) subscription to save money if you’ll work on multiple projects.

Note: Generators are ideal to make mockups without Photoshop.

1. Dispenser bottle & cosmetic jars mockup

How To Easily Create A Cosmetic Mockup

Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, you don’t have to undergo many steps to create the best realistic presentation of cosmetic products.

The simplest way is to use a mockup generator.

I highly recommend Placeit because I’ve worked with it on 100s of projects, and I’ll continue to work on 100s more.

It takes you seconds to create your version (of course, if you have the design(s) ready).

Here’s how you do it.

5 Steps to create a cosmetic mockup:

  • Step 1: Visit Placeit and search for “comsetic mockup.” When you start typing, the live results will come up with recommendations for bottles, jars, etc. Pick yours and search.
  • Step 2: The search results will deliver a bunch of really awesome templates that you can work with. Browse and choose the one that works for your project best. Don’t worry; you can always go back and select a different generator.
  • Step 3: Once you’re on the cosmetic mockup page, you have the option to upload your image (read logo, design, pattern) directly from your device. Fun fact: You can also work on your life-like presentation using your mobile device. After the upload is done, the crop window allows you to perform additional tweaks to your design.
  • Step 4: The next and final “hard” work is to change the colors of the product and background, add graphics, and even write a text overlay. All this happens in a few clicks!
  • Step 5: Your mockup is ready to download!

You see, I told you that working on a realistic presentation of a cosmetic product is a piece of cake.

And do you know what’s the best?

You can finish the project for free and only pay for it when you’re satisfied with your creation and ready to download it.

You’re in total control.
