DIY Lip Makeup: Create Your Own Non-Toxic and Natural Lip Products

Creating your own lip makeup can be a fun and rewarding way to ensure that you have the perfect shade while also avoiding harsh chemicals. This guide will walk you through five different methods to make lipsticks and lip glosses at home using simple and natural ingredients. Let's dive in!

Method 1: Crayon Lipstick

One of the easiest ways to create your own lip makeup is by using non-toxic crayons. Here’s what you need to get started:

Choose your crayons: Opt for non-toxic crayons from brands like Crayola. Check the box to ensure they are non-toxic. If the scent is too strong, check the smell first. Choose your colors: Pick one color or blend two for a custom shade. Prepare the crayon: Chop the crayon into small pieces and mix with a small amount of vaseline. Make a container: Use a clean, food-safe container for storing the mixture. Melt and stir the ingredients: Use a microwave or a double boiler to melt the crayon and vaseline. Stir well until fully combined. Add oil: Choose an oil like coconut, olive, or almond oil to add to the mixture. Allow to harden: Let the mixture cool and harden in the container before using it.

Method 2: All Natural Lipstick

This method relies on all-natural ingredients like beeswax, food oils, and natural powder for color. Here’s how to do it:

Collect the ingredients: Measure out about a teaspoon of each ingredient (beeswax, food oil, shea butter, and natural color powder). Melt the ingredients: Place the ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl and heat them in 15-30 second increments until melted. Add color: Stir in the powder and continue adding as needed for desired shade. Pour into a container: Use a clean, food-safe container with a lid. Allow to harden: Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place to harden before use.

Method 3: Lip Gloss from Vaseline and Eyeshadow

For a shimmering finish, this method uses eyeshadow and Vaseline:

Choose your eyeshadow: Select old or cheap eyeshadow, and for a shimmery effect, add clear shimmery eyeshadow. Combine eyeshadow and Vaseline: Mix about one tablespoon of Vaseline with every teaspoon of eyeshadow. Melt the mixture: Heat the mixture in the microwave, stirring every 10-15 seconds until runny. Store in a container: Use a clean, food-safe container with a lid and let it harden in a cool place.

Method 4: Lip Gloss from Vaseline and Kool-Aid

To infuse your lip gloss with color, you can use Kool-Aid powder:

Prepare the Vaseline: Melt one tablespoon of Vaseline in the microwave until it is soft and runny but not boiling. Add Kool-Aid: Stir in the Kool-Aid, adding a little at a time until the desired color is reached. Use other drink mixtures like Crystal Light as well. Store in a container: Cool the mixture in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes before using.

Method 5: Lip Gloss from Clear Chapstick

Recycle your clear chapstick for a fun, colorful lip gloss:

Remove the clear chapstick: Remove the lid, roll it until it won’t roll anymore, and extract the chapstick. Melt the chapstick: Melt the chapstick in the microwave, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Add color: Use various colors like Kool-Aid, natural food powders, or colored food oils, and mix until the desired consistency is achieved. Store in a container: Use a clean, food-safe container and let it harden at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

By following these methods, you can create your own unique lip makeup that caters to your preferences and avoids synthetic chemicals. Enjoy experimenting with different shades and textures to find your perfect match!
