Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Does anyone know how to make good lipstick? Someone told me to use food coloring from the store and dip a Qtip in the color you want - like red - lightly for pink - and then let it dry. Lick your lips and then apply the color from the Qtip. Vasoline will make it shiny. Is food coloring okay? I thought not. Inform me. I wear lipstick but wonder if that is good. Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Well I have a suggestion... look online for a few goo lip balm recipes that you might like.. and play around with them. Find out what you would like for feel and slide etc..below are two sites that are great in helping with customer service and their products are wonderful http://sweettreats.8k.com/custom2.html ---this one is great for the colors for the lip balms and probably the molds also.. http://www.snowdriftfarm.com/form_virgin_coconut_oil.html --- this one is great for formulary and product supplies..

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 wanted to add that lip stick is just lip balm in a different mold... so find what you want to use for the ingredients... and then go from there.. if you would like to talk more on this off list feel free to write me.. I make soaps and lotions and such so I am familiar with this subject maybe can point you in the directions you need to go.. I think this wax would be better then beezwax if you are trying to go raw.... it stays more solid ar warm room temps then just a cocoa butter or beeswax.... here is another site for containers....http://www.makingcosmetics.com/store/index.html?lang=en- us & target=d79.html & lmd=38785.428403 http://rachelssupply.com/lipbalm.htm rawfood , " judycozza1 " <judycozza wrote: > > Does anyone know how to make good lipstick? > Someone told me to use food coloring from the store and dip a Qtip in > the color you want - like red - lightly for pink - and then let it dry. > Lick your lips and then apply the color from the Qtip.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 That second one looks like a great site! I was actually wondering about this myself - I was thinking about making a homemade lip gloss from coconut oil. But then I realized that the oil would just melt off, and wouldn't really stay on, so needs something to thicken it up. I dont' know if this is totally ridiculous or not, but it crossed my mind to make very small batches with some raspberries crushed and strained added to it - for colour and scent. Would that work, or be absolutely impossible? rawfood , " Debbie " <aromatic_wings wrote: > > Well I have a suggestion... look online for a few goo lip balm recipes > that you might like.. and play around with them.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I have just begun to graze the surface of making my own beauty products, and found the store and website for www.glorybee.com to be amazing. I love the lip balm I made, and the containers there were the best price I found any where. They have alot of recipes and the customer service with this is fantastic.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hi Jen.. sorry for that last post..I hit the wrong button and sent it without my answer... Rasberries?? I suppose rasberries would work.. but remember.. this is for a lip stick or gloss not a dye on your lips.. raspberries might stain the lips a funny color and leave it stained that way for a while.. The first site is a great site for getting micas for the lips..ultra fine grain... think she does have a dye also to use in combination of the micas. I do not like how her site is set up as it is confusing to me...but I have talked with her about mascara before and some of my concerns and she is very knowlegable about this.. and was very helpful to me. The second site ..they are very knowlegable from a more scientific standpoint... the formulas are a bit more complex.. I would suggest anyone just making a simple formula first then when you get a bit more comfortable with the process then go for the more complex or more exotic butters and oils.. the micas go along way so that old saying.. " alittle goes a long way " is very true.. There are lip stick molds out there but a simple chap stick tube is just as good if you are only making for yourself. I do not think that a presevative would be needed unless you use a fresh fruit.. I had never done that before I had only made the flavor oils etc when I made mine.. and really did not make a lips stick per se only a lip balm in stick form.. Yes the coconut oil would melt too easily.. also even a cocoa butter would melt fast. I suggest one of the other waxes suggested in the site. This site also has a simple recipe... http://www.soapdelicatessen.com/soapmaking/toiletries/balms/ rawfood , " Tanlathiel " <jencorris wrote: > > That second one looks like a great site! > > I was actually wondering about this myself - I was thinking about > making a homemade lip gloss from coconut oil.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 LOL, you're right, the raspberries would stain the lips. I couldn't figure out that first site at all either. I always thought mica was a kind of mineral/stone? That link looks interesting - with the chocolate balm. rawfood , " Debbie " <aromatic_wings wrote: > > > Hi Jen.. sorry for that last post..I hit the wrong button and sent it > without my answer... > > Rasberries??

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 What's wrong with putting some coconut oil on your lips if they need lubricating and letting your natural color show through?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 That would be fine if it was solely just for moisturizing...but I was looking for something to use in place of lipgloss.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 If I ever wear makeup (and I do maybe once a month if that often) I wear bareMinerals. There is a little container of a darker color of powder that can be mixed with coconut oil or lip pomade or whatever and put on the lips for color. Personally, I don't do that. The minerals are all I'll put on my face except for coconut oil. They are SPF-15 and I like to have the sun on any part of my anatomy I can get out there legally.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I have a formula I can share with you, however, you would need to order some minerals to put in it.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 So in effect, one can use a Q-tip or eyeshadow applicator to brush on the mineral color of choice FIRST, in order to deepen the color and extend the wear time, and THEN apply the coconut oil? -Tiffany jerushy1944 <no_reply > wrote: If I ever wear makeup (and I do maybe once a month if that often) I wear bareMinerals.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Hi Tiffany, you mix it together and apply it. I don't know if you could do it ahead and put it in a little container or not. Coconut oil melts at something like 74 degrees so you'd need to keep it cool or in a spill-proof container. If you use a colorless lip pomade, you can dip it in the minerals and smooth it on.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Thanks Tommie, I keep a jar of organic extra virgin coconut oil at work and at home, so storing it nor transporting it is a problem for me. But are you saying it WOULDN'T be a good idea to brush on the minerals before applying the coconut oil? I would think that it would stay on longer that way? -Tiffany jerushy1944 <no_reply > wrote: Hi Tiffany, you mix it together and apply it.
