Pour the mixture into the lipstick. You can use an old lipstick or a lip balm, a small cosmetic box or any other object with a lid to hold the new lipstick model. Allow the lipstick to solidify at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving. advertisement

Method 2 of 4: Use eyeshadow

1. 

   Prepare your eyeshadow. Look for old eyeshadow (or buy a cheap one) in powder or compress form, instead of a gel. Put the eyeshadow into a bowl and crush it with a spoon until it turns into a fine powder.
   • To give the lipstick a shimmer, add a little shimmering eyeshadow to your chosen primary shade.
   • Using eyeshadow is a great way to try out novel lipstick colors. Eyeshadow is like a colorant so you can use it. Choose green, blue, black, and colors that are rarely seen in lipstick.
   • However, some eyeshadow are not safe for use on lips. Please check ingredients before use. If the eyeshadow has ultramarines, ferric ferrocyanide and / or aluminum oxide then don't use. Use only eyeshadow that contains safe levels of iron oxide.

2. 

   
   
   Combine eyeshadow with mineral oil (petroleum jelly). Add about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of mineral oil to the microwave bowl. Add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of eyeshadow powder. Microwave the bowl and heat until mixture is melted and thick, then stir to mix.
   • Add more powder if you want a bold color (Darker / Opaque).
   • Reduce powder to a product like lip gloss. (Lighter / Translucent)
   • As an alternative to mineral oil, you can use a colorless lip balm.

3. 

   Put lipstick in the bar. Use an old color lipstick or lip balm, cosmetic container, or any other object with a lid. Let the mixture harden before serving. advertisement

Method 3 of 4: Use a crayon

1. 

   
   
   Melt crayons in a 2-stage steamer. If you do not, the crayon will burn when heated. Be sure to peel off the sticker on the crayon. Then place the pen in the bowl located on the top floor of the steamer and heat over medium heat until the pen melts.
   • You can make your own water-bath steamer with 2 pots, 1 large pot and 1 small pot. Pour some water into the large pot and place the small pot inside so it will float over the water. Place the crayon in a small saucepan, then heat over medium heat until the crayon is melted.
   • Use an old pot to melt the crayon, as it is difficult to clean.

2. 

   Stir in a little more oil. You can use olive oil, almond oil, jojoba oil, or coconut oil. Add 1 teaspoon of oil (5 ml) to the melted wax and stir.

3. 

   
   
   Add scent. A few drops of essential oil will take away the smell of the crayon. Use rose, peppermint, lavender, or another essential oil. Make sure the essential oil is safe to use on the lips and the skin around the lips.

4. 

   Put lipstick in the bar. Use an old color lipstick or lip balm, cosmetic container, or any other object with a lid. After carefully pouring the hot liquid mixture into the ingot or storage box, place it in the refrigerator to allow the lipstick to solidify. advertisement

Method 4 of 4: Use old lipstick

1. 

   Place old lipsticks in the microwave bowl. This method is very useful if you have a lot of old lipsticks and you want to create a new color. You can use lipsticks of the same color group or create a new color by choosing lipsticks of different colors.
   • Just make sure your lipstick is still out of date. If it is more than 2 years old then the lipstick is too old and you should discard it.

2. 

   Microwave lipstick melt. Microwave the lipstick for 5 seconds on high. Let the lipstick melt, then stir with a spoon to mix the colors.
   • Continue to microwave the lipstick for 5 seconds each time until the lipstick flows evenly.
   • You can also melt the lipstick in a double-steamer instead of using the microwave. Add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of beeswax or mineral oil for every 10cm of lipstick you use, this will add more moisture to the lipstick. Then, stir the lipstick mixture well.

3. 

   Pour the mixture into the lipstick. After having the lipstick mixture pour it into a small cosmetic container. Let the lipstick cool and harden before using it.
   • Use your finger or brush to apply lipstick.

Advice

• If you want to heal dry lips, add some aloe vera gel.
• Another way to make lip gloss is to use mineral oil, but instead of eyeshadow, use Kool-Aid pigment. This will be more economical and also very effective.
• Add vanilla essence or other flavoring for a pleasant lip taste.
• Mica powder is very effective for makeup products. However, when used for mixing colors, stir well so that the lipstick does not clump.

Warning

• However, if you use crayons it is best to choose a Crayola or a non-toxic children's crayon as "professional" products are often toxic if swallowed even in small amounts.
• However, Crayola advises against using crayons to make lipstick as it can become contaminated. Besides, it also doesn't have the same validation process as makeup.
• Take care when removing the lipstick mixture from the microwave or steamer as it will get very hot.
