Tools needed to create natural products Popular recipes
Craftswomen set out to make black lipstick or get a unique lip gloss. Popular recipes will help the novice housewife, allowing her to take the first step towards professionalism.
To create liquid lipstick, grate 50 grams of beets, combine them with a quarter spoon of glycerin, a vitamin E capsule. Apply the burgundy mixture to your lips with a cotton swab. If you want to achieve a matte effect, blot your lips with a napkin.
Combine beeswax with coconut oil and shea butter in equal proportions. Heat the mixture, stir the ingredients. To get red lipstick, add a little food coloring.
Without Vaseline
When planning to create your own lipstick, keep in mind that its base will affect not only the quality of the final product, but also your health. Vaseline is a petroleum product. Women who use cosmetics based on it eat approximately 5 kilograms of the substance over ten years, which negatively affects their well-being and leads to the development of cancer.
Mix a teaspoon of wax with the same volume of grape seed oil and wheat germ. For pigments, add titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, four teaspoons of mica. After making the sour cream solution thicker, finish cooking by adding half a tablespoon of vitamin E.
From Vaseline
When studying information on how to make lipstick at home using Vaseline, keep in mind that ordinary cosmetic products are not always safe for health. By creating products with your own hands, you will be confident in their composition, you will be able to change the color intensity and aroma.
To get the product, mix a tablespoon of Vaseline with dry eye shadow, ground into powder. Their composition is safe, the product itself undergoes strict control during the production process. When creating colored lipstick from shadows, control the intensity of the color by gradually adding powder.
Eyeshadow plus Vasiline - the simplest recipe for homemade lipstick Chapstick
The key task of such a product is to care for the lips, so the composition should contain healthy, natural ingredients. A simple recipe will allow even a novice craftswoman to try her hand at it. Do not make the mass very dark. Go for the colorless option.
Combine half a teaspoon of wax with cocoa butter and jojoba butter, adding a teaspoon of each component. Dissolve the ingredients and mix them thoroughly. Add a drop of your favorite essential oil. Fill the tube a quarter full. When the mixture has cooled, pour in the rest. If such a container is not available, use a regular syringe. To completely harden the product, place it in the refrigerator.
From wax crayons
Wax-based pencils consist of plant pigment and a natural base. This allows them to be used not only for children's creativity, but also to make lipsticks at home with bright, unique colors. To make the product you will need:
- a pack of wax crayons;
- shea butter, cocoa;
- argan, almond, coconut, olive oils;
- essential oils for aroma;
- syringes, storage tubes.
Select the color you want. To do this, take one or more crayons from the purchased box. If you want purple lipstick but don't have that color, break off a piece of blue and red crayon.
Melt the selected pencils in a water bath, after first freeing them from the paper shell. Add the selected oils to the liquid mass, add a couple of drops of your favorite aroma. If you are planning a small test, hold the crayon in a spoon over a burning candle. If you want to keep the mixture neutral in flavor, you can omit the oils.
From chewing gum
Trying to create lipstick from chewing gum, you will personally see that this product can be made from any components that retain pigment, and at home. To get started, buy two chewing gums. The best option would be round, pink rubber bands, which can be purchased from a vending machine.
You can get the finished product without a water bath, but then you should be the proud owner of a microwave. Prepare a container in which you will cook the mixture. Peel the top layer of colorful icing off the gummies. Place all ingredients in a bowl:
- chewing gum;
- a tablespoon of Vaseline;
- food coloring according to your preference.
Microwave the container for 20-30 seconds. Stir the heated mixture and place it in the prepared tube. In this way, it is easy to create products in the most incredible colors.
The main problem with commercial cosmetics and lipsticks is that various synthetic components are added to these products, which can cause an unpredictable reaction in the body. Often, the use of even fairly high-quality lipstick leads to allergies or the formation of peeling on the skin of the lips.
That is why, in order to protect themselves, many girls prefer to create both skincare and decorative cosmetics with their own hands. Despite the huge range of commercial cosmetics, homemade products are now in great demand. If you wish, you can even make your own lipstick. If you are wondering what ways this can be done and how long it will take, keep reading and you will be pleasantly surprised.
What can you do with old lip products?
The easiest way is to experiment with old cosmetics. Even from unwanted old lipstick, you can make a completely usable mixture.
In this case, you won't need many additional components or even extra time. After all, preparing such fondant is very simple - you need to remove the old lipstick from the case. You can even use several products from different manufacturers. Combine everything in a small bowl and microwave for a couple of minutes. But here it is important to take into account one point: although manufacturers may be different, all products selected for processing should in no case be expired.
Lipsticks in a plate need to be heated for only five seconds, but at high power. This way you will get a fairly soft substance that can be mixed with a wooden stick. If you took lipsticks of approximately the same shade, the result will be quite predictable. And if you combine several colors at once, you will get an unexpected and most often pleasant result.
If you don’t have a microwave or are afraid of ruining everything, you can try melting the product in a water bath. In this case, you can enrich the product with useful components. For example, add a little beeswax or Vaseline to the mixture. This will transform your lipstick into a moisturizing one. This method is especially good for those whose lipstick dries out their lips.
After the mixture is prepared, it needs to be cooled and poured into the container of your choice. This could be special packaging purchased at a cosmetic store or just a jar of cosmetics. For example, glosses are often produced in such convenient packaging, which can then be used to form new cosmetics. Before using your new lip product, allow it to harden to a thicker consistency. Depending on which container you poured the lipstick into, you can apply it either by simply touching your lips to the color wheel, or by spreading the cosmetics with a brush.
Besides this simple procedure of turning a few pieces of lipstick into a new lip product, there are other ways to give new life to a cosmetic product.
How to make matte from varnish?
Since matte lipsticks have been extremely popular among girls for several seasons in a row, many fashionistas want one for themselves. But in order to create beautiful makeup with matte lips, you don’t have to spend money on another bright tube, especially if you already have lacquer lipstick in the right shade. With the help of simple manipulations you can give it a matte finish.
You will need a simple lipstick without shimmer or large glitter and a simple lip pencil. Draw a beautiful outline, fill the base with your regular makeup product. Then proceed to the procedure of turning your makeup into a trendy one. To do this, place a simple dry napkin on your lips so that it absorbs all excess. As a result, the shine will disappear and only a tint will remain, which stays on the lips for several hours. If desired, you can lightly powder your lips. This will make them look more matte.
This lipstick stays well on the lips and looks very aesthetically pleasing throughout the day. So this trick can save you in a situation where you don’t have a suitable product at hand or you haven’t yet decided whether you need such an unusual cosmetic product.
How to make it in a different color?
If you need a special shade, you can also recreate it at home. To make a product several shades lighter or darker, you just need to add certain ingredients to it. Let's look at what components make colored lipstick the way you want it.
Purple
You will not be able to get a beautiful plum shade using natural ingredients. But with the help of crayons of the desired shade, you can easily achieve the desired result. You can get a rich plum shade or a pale, almost pink shade.
Brown
With chocolate shades everything is much simpler. To make your lipstick beautiful, just add a little cinnamon to the composition. This product, depending on its quantity, allows you to make the fudge both rich chocolate and beautiful nude with a light brown tint. You can also add a little cocoa powder to the mixture. In this case, the finished product will also have a mind-blowing smell.
Dark
To get a product that is a tone darker than the original result, you need to add eye shadow to the base when warming up the product. Choose shadows of the color you want to see on your lips or even a little darker. So in the end you will get exactly what you need.
Black
With the help of shadows you can even create a spectacular black lipstick. But in order for the shade to turn out not dirty gray, but beautiful, use transparent hygienic lipstick as a base.
Blue
The same can be said about the blue tint. To make the color pure and beautiful, take a transparent base and complement it with shadows or wax crayons. You will learn how to do this a little later. Add shadows gradually to get the desired color. And you will have in your hands a product of turquoise, azure or sky blue color - depending on your wishes.
Pink
If you have a pink lipstick that doesn't suit you, you can lighten it by thinning it with Vaseline or wax. You can also give the product a more saturated color by adding dark shadows or mixing it with a piece of dark lipstick. Therefore, if you get a cosmetic product that you are not entirely satisfied with its tone, then you should not throw it away - give the lipstick a second chance and it will not disappoint you.
Transparent
Sheer lipstick is usually made from scratch. To do this, the wax base is mixed with the same amount of grape seed oil. A teaspoon of zinc oxide and four tablespoons of mica must be added to this mixture in time. The resulting mass will have a neutral tint. Making the composition more beneficial for your lips is also quite simple - add a few drops of vitamin E to it.
Homemade clear lipstick is a great product that you can safely use on a daily basis. Not only will it not harm you, but it will also benefit you by moisturizing and protecting your lips from the influence of the external environment.
Red
Red lipstick is one of the favorite products of many girls. With the right shade of red you can complete both your everyday look and your evening look. The main thing when creating a red lip product is that it suits your color type. You can make both red-brown and bright scarlet lipstick at home, depending on your wishes.
For a copper tint, add a little turmeric to the composition. And it’s very easy to get a scarlet shade by adding beet root powder to the product. If you use beet juice, you will get a slight purple tint. Therefore, you need to be as careful as possible with him. Especially if shades of purple don't suit you.
In general, it can be difficult to guess the final shade. But after trying to make lipstick a couple of times, you will come up with a formula for the ideal color that will suit you much better than all the ready-made store-bought cosmetics. Of course, this will not happen right away, but after a few procedures you will learn to mix the components in ideal proportions.
Simple DIY methods
Now it’s time to move on to the most difficult part - making lipstick at home without a ready-made base. Since the product, prepared at home independently and with the selection of only useful ingredients, is safe, it can be used even on a child’s face. Such natural lipsticks are harmless for both children and girls with allergies to cosmetics. So learning how to make your own lipstick is never a bad idea.
What will you need?
You can use different bases to make lipstick. The most common are wax crayons or Vaseline. The latter makes good lipsticks that moisturize the lips. And from wax crayons you can make products of unusual shades. Well, you already know how to make lipstick from the remnants of unnecessary cosmetics.
If you plan to make lipstick from wax, you will need the wax itself, a dye of the desired shade and oils. Wax can be purchased at almost any pharmacy, honey shop or specialty store. If you are allergic to it or do not use animal products for ethical reasons, then you can use Candelilla or Carnauba wax as an alternative. Such a base will not spoil the product and, in fact, will not differ much from ordinary wax.
As for oils, you can choose them at your discretion. For hydration or nutrition, choose cocoa, avocado, almond, mango or shea butter. If you add this ingredient, the product will lie on your lips in a more even and beautiful layer, nourishing them throughout the day. And for shine, you can supplement the base with coconut or olive oil. Just a few drops of pure olive oil will make your lipstick glossy and more impressive.
Now a few words about dyes. They can be either natural or synthetic. You already know about different products for giving lipstick the desired color. These can be seasonings that are found in almost every kitchen or shade
You can also add flavorings to the mixture if desired. It is advisable to use light scents that will not overwhelm the smell of the perfume and attract too much attention. Otherwise, you may get tired of the scent very quickly. A favorite scent for many is vanilla. Getting this flavor is as easy as shelling pears - buy vanilla in the seasoning department and add it to the mixture when cooking.
Recipes
If you want to get a lipstick that will not only make your lips more beautiful, but also heal them, then you can choose healing mixtures or oils as an additional component. One of the most popular products of this kind is aloe or honey.. Lipstick prepared according to a recipe with the addition of such products will be useful to everyone. It can be used to enlarge lips, since everything in this composition is selected so that the lips are more moisturized and voluminous.
The easiest way to achieve beautiful colored lipstick is to use colored crayons or shadows. If you want to use a crayons-based recipe, choose non-toxic ones with minimal odor. The best option is beeswax based crayons. The recipe for making this lipstick is very simple - finely grate the crayons and add them to the base during a water bath. Be careful - the color after using crayons, as in the case of making lipstick from eye shadow, may turn out to be too saturated. So introduce the additive gradually and see how much it colors the base.
Among lovers of natural cosmetics, recipes using seasonings and beets are popular. Beetroot juice turns lipstick into a purple-red shade. And seasonings allow you to get a spectacular shade of brown or red. You need to introduce all additional components at the stage when you have melted the lipstick and its consistency is soft.

Homemade hygienic lipstick is always needed, regardless of the time of year, because whether it is a bitter winter or a sultry summer, our lips are exposed to attacks from the external environment and weather conditions. Lips are a very delicate and sensitive part of our face that needs additional protection.
To evoke positive emotions in men, our lips must be flawless. After all, cracked and chapped lips not only spoil the appearance, but also cause physical discomfort and sometimes pain. Lack of vitamins in the spring or low temperatures in winter - all this can negatively affect the condition of the lips.
In order to restore your lips to their blooming appearance and health, we need hygienic lipstick. Very often, children need such lipstick, as they love to bite and lick their lips. It is noteworthy that men can also use hygienic lipstick, which will not in any way affect their male “authority”, because it is used exclusively for medicinal purposes.
The easiest way, of course, is to buy ready-made products in the store, but will you be confident in its effectiveness and safety? Firstly, it is very difficult to trace the date of manufacture, and, accordingly, the “freshness” of this hygiene product. And secondly, you should pay special attention to the components. Ingredients such as silicone and camphor oil, menthol, paraffinum liquidum, saccharin, paraffin or petroleum jelly may not only not be beneficial, but also cause harm to such sensitive lip skin. All this “chemistry” is absent in self-made hygienic lipstick at home.
Recipe Ingredients
After reading any recipe for making hygienic lipstick at home, you can be convinced of its simplicity and accessibility. All ingredients are available for sale at your nearest pharmacy. So, we will need:
- 2 grams of beeswax;
- 1 gram of cocoa butter;
- 1 gram of sweet almond oil;
- 3.5 grams of castor oil;
- 1-2 drops of dye and flavor (optional).
Some components can be replaced. For example, beeswax can be replaced with palm or candelilla wax, but they are extremely rare on sale. Also, instead of almond oil, you can use any other oil that has properties similar to almond oil. Castor oil is replaced with avocado or peach oil or a mixture of both.
