How do I make my own lipstick?

Something safe and fun to do.How do I make my own lipstick?
haha they did that in the clique. there are tons of recipes.


Lip Gloss Recipe


Paraffin wax


Coconut oil


Petroleum jelly


Candy melts (to color the gloss and make it taste sweet)


Oil-based candy flavoring (if you want a special flavor)


Grater


Wax paper


Ziploc bag


Small container (recycle old makeup containers or 35mm film containers, or look in stores that carry beads, crafts, or fishing tackle)





Instructions:


Grate some paraffin wax onto wax paper. Measure 1/4 teaspoon grated wax into the plastic bag. Add 1 teaspoon coconut oil, 1 teaspoon petroleum jelly, and 1 candy melt. Add 1/8 teaspoon oil-based candy flavoring if you like.





Seal the bag and carefully put it in a bowl of hot tap water to melt ingredients, about 3-5 minutes.





(Use tap water! Never use a microwave or stove to heat the water).


Once all the ingredients are melted, remove the bag from the water. Squish ingredients around in bag to mix; work quickly! Clip off a tiny corner of the bag and squeeze gloss into the clean container. Let it set for an hour, or put it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.





There you go! Use a cotton swab instead of your finger to apply gloss. Your lip-gloss should last a long time. If it changes color, odor, or texture, though, throw it away.











Lipstick recipe


Phase I


2.8 ozs Castor Oil


.08 ozs Iron Oxide/Mica Powder/D%26amp;C color (a combination to obtain the


desired shade of lipstick)


.36 ozs Mica White (for a pastel shimmer lipstick) otherwise add this additional


amount of another pigment.





Phase II


.5 ozs Beeswax Pearls


.32 ozs Carnauba Wax


.06 ozs Vitamin E Oil


.16 ozs Lanolin





Phase III


drops of Grapefruit Seed Extract


drops of any all natural flavor oil (we used Cranberry)





Put the ingredients from Phase I into a small pan over very low heat. Be sure to pulverize the iron oxide, mica powder, D%26amp;C color and/ or Lip Tints before adding them to the pot. Stir well. Add the ingredients from Phase II and heat until the mixture reaches 170掳 or until fully melted. Remove from heat then add the ingredients from Phase III and pour into lipstick tubes or lip pots.





This lipstick has a fantastic feel similar to lip balm, and the color will show on your lips. It has great staying power and doesn't feel heavy or greasy.





Photo above: We used crimson lip tint, burgundy red iron oxide, cranberry flavor


oil. The lanolin in this recipe is what actually makes the lipstick color come off


on your lips. Using about a half ounce of any combination of iron oxide, mica


powder, D%26amp;C color (our Lip Tints), finely ground, will be the final color of your


lipstick. So go ahead and blend your own special color.





Good luck, sounds fun!How do I make my own lipstick?
Use jelly with old lipgloss and mix.
If you put ice on your lips it can make them appear more rosy.


You can also use food dye and make a wax (bee's wax works well) and mix the 2 together over a stove. Then you can use the metled paste like wax on your lips. Gross, but it works!
