To provide a technique which can mold various kinds of cosmetics and in which raw material loss is smaller than prior arts.SOLUTION: There is provided a molding method of a cosmetic for filling powder-state cosmetic in an inner tray of a cosmetic container for molding a cosmetic, comprising: a preliminary compression step for, directing a recess part of the inner tray downward, mating an inside surface of the inner tray with an inside surface of a preliminary molding part in which the powder-state cosmetic is stored for preliminary molding the powder-state cosmetic, then lifting a bottom of the preliminary molding part and filling the powder-state cosmetic in the inner tray and then performing preliminary compression； a reverse step for reversing the inner tray which stores the cosmetic which has been preliminary molded by the preliminary compression； and a main compression step for performing main compression of the cosmetic which has been preliminary molded stored in the reversed inner tray, by pressure higher than that in the preliminary compression.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1【課題】従来よりも原料のロスが少なく、かつ、種々の化粧料を成型可能な技術を提供する。【解決手段】化粧料容器の中皿に粉状の化粧料を充填して化粧料を成型する化粧料の成型方法であって、中皿の凹部を下向にし、中皿の内側面と、粉状の化粧料を収容して粉状の化粧料を予備成型する予備成型部の内側面とを合わせ、予備成型部の底部を上昇させて中皿に粉状の化粧料を充填して予備圧縮する予備圧縮工程と、予備圧縮により予備成型された化粧料を収容する中皿を反転する反転工程と、反転した中皿に収容されている予備成型された化粧料を予備圧縮よりも高い圧力で本圧縮する本圧縮工程と、を有する。【選択図】図１
