Sophie shows Kenny & Gwendolyn Smith, Kym Douglas, and Amber Stevens how to make an easy, affordable natural lipstick!
DIY Moisturizing Lipstick
- 4 tbsp caster oil
- 4 tbsp jojoba oil
- 1.5 tsp eco soya wax
- 3 tsp Candelilla wax
Steps
- Start by setting up the lip stick tubes in the pouring tray.
- Make your base by placing the following in ingredients in a small plastic microwave safe measuring beaker
- Microwave in for 60 seconds.
- Mix your colors. This can get very messy so please make sure you wear latex gloves, cover your surface etc.
- You can create any color using different oxides and mica
- Place 8 tsp of chia seed in glass or plastic container.
- Add 3 tsp coral mica, 6 tsp of cellini mica and 6 tsp bubble gum oxide. Use a tiny whisk to combine well, making sure all the lumps have disappeared. Use a heat-safe paper cup (from a coffee shop is fine) to melt your waxes and oils.
- Use an old plastic yogurt or sour cream container to mix your color and chia oil
- Add the color mixture to the oils, Blend well with a popsicle stick.
- Carefully pour into molds. You can use a scraper to remove excess, so don’t worry about over-filling.
- Leave to set for a couple of hours.
Please Note: Using these colors and waxes can get messy! I recommend you use jars, cups and utensils that you don’t mind if they take on a bit of the dye. To clean them, wipe out as much as you can with a paper towel, then use very hot water with dish soap, and clean wearing a pair of latex gloves that you can toss after.
