I love mixing colors and textures, I spent my night making new lipstick shades and repairing broken lipsticks. It’s so easy and fun.

You will need
A candle
A Lighter
A spoon
A spatula
Some Broken or half finished lipsticks
And glitter
Some containers
Alcohol to sterilize your containers



Fixing a broken lipstick:

Step1: decant your lipstick onto a spoon

Step2: hold the spoon over your candle till the lipstick has completely melted

Step 3: pour the liquid lipstick into a sterile container and let it dry.


Creating a new shade of lipstick:

Step 1:Decant two lipstick shades of your choice onto a spoon. I used twig and hue by MAC.
Repeat step 2 and 3

Adding glitz to a lipstick:

Step1: I decanted Russian red by Mac and some fine glitter by Inglot onto my spoon.

Repeated step two and three.

The red has an gorgeous purple shimmer.
