Though it may take some practice to make, the end result is well-worth all of the work, as you will achieve a beautiful look.

How Do You Make Homemade Lipstick With Natural Ingredients?

To make your own homemade lipstick, you will want to use natural ingredients that are non-toxic and won’t irritate your skin. You will need to start with a base, as this is what forms the lipstick and allows it to stay on. From there you will want to add the color, along with any other ingredients that contribute to it.

Matte Lipstick Ingredients

Some of the most common ingredients for a base include beeswax, carnauba wax, vitamin E acetate, castor oil, grape seed oil, or Vaseline. These ingredients are the proper consistency for a base and are also safe to use on your skin.

In addition to a base, you will also want some form of powder generally. Mica, which is a naturally occurring mineral dust, is a common ingredient in lipsticks and other makeup. It is safe to use on most skin types and comes in a variety of different colors.

In some cases, natural lipsticks may use food for coloring. Beets are a popular choice, as they provide a bright, vibrant red color. In addition, blackberries and raspberries may also be used as well.

To achieve a matte look, the lipstick will contain more wax. It may use a combination of waxes such as beeswax and candelilla wax. In addition, Bentonite Clay may also be used in some recipes to achieve a matte look.

Though you can get many of these ingredients at drug stores or beauty stores, some ingredients you will only be able to find online. However, some specialty beauty stores may sell all of the ingredients, though these types of stores are hard to find.

In general, homemade lipstick will not last as long as store-bought. Homemade lipsticks may only last two to three months when properly stored. In addition, you may notice that you will need to reapply it more often.

Before applying the lipstick to your lips, apply it to your arm or hand. This will allow you to see if you have any sensitivities or allergies to any of the lip matte ingredients in it.

Be sure to store your homemade matte lipstick in a cool, dry location. If it is in the heat, it will melt and become an icky mess.

Be sure that all the ingredients you buy are cosmetic grade. Mica has many different uses, so be sure to buy only cosmetic-friendly mica. You may not be able to find it in stores, but it is available online in a variety of different colors.
