Have you ever wondered how to make lipstick at home? Not only this can be a satisfying hobby, but it can also save you money.

Additionally, you know exactly what ingredients you are making it with. In our articles on this website and in our videos on the YouTube channel, we mostly use natural ingredients. Let’s start!

5- Using a hot water bath, melt the contents of the container. A hot water bath is done by placing a small container in a large pot of hot steaming water. This will gradually melt whatever is inside the container without causing it to burn. 

6- We are going to divide the now melted ingredients into 2 halves to test both mica coloring and eyeshadow coloring.

How To Apply

Use a lipstick brush to apply it to the lips. We could have added a bit of food flavoring to give it some taste. That is up to you!
