How To Make Your Own Lip Palette 💄

Hey guys!

So today's post is a bit different and it's a step by step guide of how to make your own lip palette. I find this to be an extremely productive way to make use of old, almost empty lipsticks. It's a fab way to use up the ends of them but in a way that takes up a lot less space than having a ton of almost empty lipstick bullets. I made mine using all Mac lipsticks that had under half a lipstick left, so that gives the added advantage of being able to bring the empty bullets Back to Mac to get a new lipstick!

So to make a lip palette you will need:

Lipsticks

A knife and a spoon

A lighter

Empty pans

A Z palette 

The brand 'Z palette' is available on beauty bay and that's where I get My empty pans and palettes, the pans are around €6 for 20 and the palettes range from €10-€18. You can find them here -

Step 1 - Chop the top off your lipstick. Make sure to get all the product out of the bullet, as there is actually tons of lipstick beneath the visible end of the lipstick. Place the product on the spoon.

Step 2 - Heat the bottom of the spoon using a lighter, making sure to heat the whole surface of the spoon and not just the part under the lipstick. The lipstick immediately begins to liquidise. 

Step 3 - Pour the liquidised lipstick into the empty pan carefully. The under part of the spoon becomes charred and black, this wipes off easily so make sure the wipe it off to avoid getting black particles in your pan.

Let the pan cool and then place it in your palette! Voila, the lipstick solidifies again and is completely usable with a lip brush. This method is so simple and is a fun way to store your lipsticks! Hope you guys enjoyed this post, let me know if you make your own!
