Hello
there! Sorry for being a MIA these past few weeks as I am totally busy with my
school and work and being a mom as well. So for now, I’m going
to share how I depot my lipstick into a small lipstick container.
When I
start to collect makeup I am so into lipsticks. I love lipsticks! I have
different bunch of colors to different kinds of finishes. But I actually
realized that it is kind of annoying not to be able to see the colors or shades
of your lipstick – you have to turn them over to read the shade until you find
something you’re after – after opening and closing loads of lids of course. But
for personal reason putting your lipsticks into a palette is not really
advisable as it became not handy or travel friendly anymore. I’m sure that you
don’t want to bring your full set of lipsticks with you every day. But if you are a professional makeup artist
and wants to maximize your makeup traincase and wants to put everything
organized, you may want to have a lipstick palette.
On my
first day to school we have talk about “professional make-up kit”. On how to
build and what are the things that a pro needs in her kit. Maybe I will share
with you my kit some other time just for you to have an idea what a
professional kit has.
Here are
the steps:
1.) Choose
your container and your lipstick colors. Be mindful that if you have small
containers and you’re going to separate the lipsticks make sure you will group
them by colors. All shades of pinks ex. Light
pink to vibrant fuchsia. Then all shades
of red ex. Deep red to orange-y red.
From plums to mauve then your own set of nude colors. So it will have a gradient look of different
shades of a particular color.
2.) Now,
cut the lipstick and put it in a large spoon and melt it in a candle.
3.) Pour
the lipstick inside the empty container. (Mine is not tally melted because I
will put it inside the oven)
4.) Clean
the edges of the container.
Now, you
can stop there. But as you can see, Given that this is my first time to depot
my lipsticks I am not satisfied with the look after melting it. So I have
decided to put in inside the oven. Now, you can start by just putting it inside
the oven, I think it is much easier just be careful with the containers because
it is made out of plastic.
5.) Put
the containers inside the oven for 2-3 mins and wait till the lipstick becomes
liquid in form.
6.) Now,
it is in liquid form put the lipstick inside the freezer for 10 mins and wait
until it becomes solid.
7.) You can peel the stickers of the lipstick tube and put them in the corresponding lipstick so
you would know what shade it is.
And there you go! You now have your own lipstick palette.
Lipsticks I used for depoting:
For pinks: Mac Candy yum yum - Mac Chatterbox - Rimmel London Nostalgia
For reds: Mac Red - Mac Ruby woo - Rimmel London Deep Red
Hope you enjoyed reading! God bless!
