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!

You Will Need

Shea butter
Cocoa butter
Beeswax
Sweet almond oil
Mica colors. If you do not have mica colors, you can use any eyeshadow palette.
Small container for the lipstick

Measurements

10 grams of cocoa butter = 0.35 ounces
30 grams of shea butter = 1.05 ounces
50 grams of almond oil = 1.76 ounces
5 grams of beeswax = 0.17 ounces

Steps On How To Make Lipstick At Home

1- In a container, add 10 grams of cocoa butter

2- Add 30 grams of shea butter
3- Add 50 grams of almond oil
4- Add 5 grams of beeswax

Adding the beeswax to the cocoa butter, the shea butter and the almond oil

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.

After melting the ingredients, we split the quantity into 2 halves

7- Add about half a teaspoon of the mica color to the first half of the melted ingredients. You can add more or less of the mica powder, depending on how strong you want the color to be. Mix the contents well.
