Pucker Up: DIY Lip Gloss

A fan of lip gloss myself, I understand that these wondrous sticks and tubes can be quite expensive, especially if you opt to buy products from big cosmetic brands, but are on a tight budget. Well, worry no more, cos you don’t have to throw your savings on a very expensive tube of lip gloss! Here’s a trusty DIY lip gloss that works just the same as branded ones.

What you need:

-Unused/Excess Pink Eye Shadow (Every girl has this!)

-Petroleum Jelly

-Lip Brush

-A Small Cosmetic Container (You can find these containers anywhere!)

What to do:

-Scrape off a bit of the eye shadow from its palette, and place it in the small cosmetic container -Take a small amount of petroleum jelly, about the size of a pea, and mix it with the eye shadow using a lip brush.

-Mix well, so chunks of eye shadow will be dissolved completely, and to avoid making the mixture too runny.

-Apply.

*Note: Don’t hesitate to experiment with other colours. Mixing a bit of pink with a bigger part of orange produces a peach shade, while mixing pink and a bit of yellow and orange produces a nice coral shade. Lavender works well with pink, too. Just mix, match, and experiment! Working with colours is fun!

Remember, it’s always better to be practical. Why spend so much on lip gloss at the shops, when you can make some at home? It’s cheap. It’s chic. And it’s super easy to make! Pucker up, Middle Class Princesses!
