Making Lipstick 101
For those of you just beginning to make lipstick, buy the melt and pour lipstick base to start. You can add your minerals or use liquid lip pigment. Buy a lipstick mold and tubes. 1) Take 3 ounces of lipstick base and melt it for 1 - 1 1/2 minutes in a pyrex measuring cup. Check on it after one minute, because you do not want it boiling. 2) Remove from the microwave and add 2 - 3 tablespoons of mineral makeup or 1 drop of liquid lip colorant for every 7 grams of lipstick base (see below). 1 ounce = 28.25 grams, so you will add 4 drops per ounce = total of 12 drops. 3) Stir the mixture with a disposable plastic spoon. You will want to stir longer if you use minerals instead of the lip liquid because the minerals take time to be evenly dispersed throughout the mixture. 4) Pour the mixture into your lipstick molds and place it on a level surface-preferably in the refrigerator. Let it sit for at least one hour. The colder it is, the easier it will be to release the lipstick bullet from the mold. 5) Slowly remove the top of the mold exposing your lipstick bullets. 6) Take an empty lipstick tube (NOT a chapstick tube), make sure you have the barrel twisted all the way UP, and press it completely down until the lipstick barrel is flush with the mold. Lift and remove your new lipstick. Cover with cap. Makes 12 lipsticks. NOTE: You can use 1/2 the ingredients and make six of one color, then repeat the above steps and fill the remaining barrels with a new color.
Good luck!
