Make your own lipstick professionally
Have you ever wondered how to make your own lipstick? It's easier than you might think! In this blog post, I'll show you step by step how to make your own lipstick using just a few natural ingredients.
The ingredients you need:
- 1 part beeswax
- 2 parts shea butter
- A pigment of your choice
Step 1: Choose the right ingredients for dyeing
As a pigment you can use either an old highlighter, eye shadow, lipstick or carnival make-up.
So you can either use the makeup you already have or get creative and mix different colors and pigments together.
If you want to make a lipstick using only natural ingredients, you can use beetroot powder and turmeric.
Step 2: Melt the ingredients
Heat the beeswax and shea butter parts together with the pigment in a water bath at about 65 degrees Celsius. This ensures that the ingredients are well mixed together and achieve a uniform consistency.
Step 3: Fill the lipstick into the tube
While the ingredients are melting, prepare the silicone molds. A set usually contains four bamboo lipstick tubes, four silicone molds including holders and a funnel. Use the funnel provided to carefully pour the liquid mixture into the small silicone molds. Fill them right up to the top.
It's best to leave the filled silicone molds in the fridge overnight so that the lipstick can harden. Then take the silicone molds with the solid lipstick mass out of the holder, remove the metal ring and carefully press the mass into the empty lipstick tube. Carefully pull the silicone mold off and voilà, your homemade lipstick is ready! You can repeat this process for different colors and pigments to create a custom lipstick collection. The best part is that you know exactly what ingredients are in your lipstick. Homemade lipsticks also make great gifts for friends and family. Try it out and have fun making your own lip colors!
