Coloured Lip Gloss
INGREDIENTS
3g beeswax
3g cocoa butter
3g shea butter
3g olive oil
6g castor oil
Powdered cosmetic colours
Suitable for lips such as Micas, Oxides and Pigments
PLEASE NOTE that this recipe is for lip gloss that is a 'soft solid' consistency. It will need to be placed in a pot and applied to the lips with a lip brush or other suitable applicator.
If you wish to have a runnier, more fluid lip gloss, you will need to adjust the amount of beeswax (use less) and increase the amount of liquid oils.
METHOD
Place all the ingredients (not the colours) in to a small container (a ramekin dish is perfect) and place container in a shallow dish of simmering water so that the water reaches about half way up the container. Heat gently until melted.
Remove from the heat.
Gradually add the powdered cosmetic colours until you have the desired colour. The rule is START WITH A LITTLE COLOUR AND GRADUALLY ADD MORE.
When you are happy with the colour you have blended, place thelip gloss in a pot and put the lid on securely. Label your pot.
Directions - Apply to your lips using a suitable applicator or very clean finger.
Shelf Life - 1 year
