Guide to Making Your Own Lip Shade
1. Mix Two Different Shades of Lip Color
This is the simplest thing you can do to make a different lip shade. For this, all you need to do is grab the lipsticks you own and arrange them by color. Choose a light and a dark shade to achieve one in between the two, or take two dark shades to intensify the color.
How to do it? Apply one shade on the upper lip and likewise the other on the lower lip. Then rub both together and try to blend the two shades to get the new result! This works best with all kinds of liquid and cream lipsticks. Try it yourself!
2. Create a Customized Organic Lipstick
Let’s cut straight to the list of ingredients: beeswax, castor oil, sweet almond oil, cocoa butter, mica powder, essential oil, and natural pigments (beetroot powder and hibiscus powder).
Place all the base ingredients except the pigments and essential oil in a double boiler and stir continuously until fully melted. Remove from the heat after everything has blended. Add the pigments and a few drops of essential oil to the mix and stir.
Store this in a balm container or a small silicone mold, it will solidify when it turns cold. For the exact measurements, refer to this tutorial.
3. Homemade Lip Tint
You can make a variety of lip tints from several ingredients in your kitchen. Just use ripe strawberries, beeswax, coconut oil, and vitamin E capsules (optional).
Mash the strawberries and strain the juice. Melt the coconut oil and beeswax together using a double boiler. Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool down for a bit. Add the strawberry juice and vitamin E oil to it and mix it to blend uniformly. That’s it!
Pour the mixture into a container and let it cool. Store it in a cool, dry place to make it last longer, and use it every day. This lip stain is rich in antioxidants and vitamins and has a fruity scent!
4. Make Your Own Lip Gloss!
Take the game of lip moisturizer to a natural level, and that too with colors! Here are the things you’ll need: beeswax or carnauba wax, carrier oil, flavoring (optional), coloring (optional), and an old lipstick tube for storage
Take one tablespoon of beeswax and shea butter for the texture. Start by melting your waxes and butters in a double boiler over low heat. Let cool down until just warm and add the carrier oil of your choice (jojoba oil or grapeseed oil).
Mix everything together until evenly blended, and now you have an amazing base for making homemade lip gloss! Now you can choose the choice of color you want for that dewy lip gloss.
5. A New Lip Shade Out of a Bronzer and a Lipstick!
Here is a hack for soft, natural, and perfect lips for everyday use. Whether you wear it to your office or just for a casual, no-makeup makeup look, this one will not disappoint you.
Make this super-easy lip shade with just three ingredients, like a clear lip gloss, lip liner, and a bronzer. Rub the bronzer on the back of your hand, top it up with your brown lip liner, and gently blend them with your fingers.
Apply this on your lips and use a clear gloss to make it glossy, or just leave it like that if you want a matte finish. Check out this video guide for some more clarity!
6. The Clever Use of Color Palettes
Wait, is your favorite lip shade empty? We would suggest that you make one besides waiting for it to restock! Gather your eye shadow or blush palette and look through the colors that are in your mind.
Take a clear lip gloss or balm and use a lip brush, small metal spatula, or cotton swab to mix some of the powder(s) in it. Blend until the powder is completely blended into the clear lip product.
If you’re making the lip color for one-time use, you can mix the powder and lip product on the back of your hand, a makeup palette, or a plastic plate or dish. Else, mix the two in a small plastic pot or a metal makeup pan.
Pro Tip: Make sure that the eye shadow and/or blush is safe to use on your lips. Usually, the best is to use mineral makeup as they’re often made with all-natural ingredients.
7. DIY Blue Lip Gloss From Mica Powder
The last has to be a hit! Here is a pretty interesting lip shade–metallic blue. But you need not worry about the expense of buying it; rather, make one at home!
Just grab a few things: mica, oil of your choice, and a vitamin E capsule(optional). Go for these–coconut oil, jojoba oil, or castor oil, because these ones are great for your skin, especially your lips.
