I’m always looking for ways to make filming my chapters easier, and staring at 25 lipstick bullets doesn’t make it easier, especially when you need to open all of them to check the colour. So it made sense to create this mini palette of my top 25 most used lipsticks. It means I can see them all at a glance, plus it’s extremely travel friendly! And I much prefer my own palette than one you can buy in store because this way I know and trust the quality of each lipstick I’ve melted.
If videos aren’t your thing, then I’ve typed out a step by step guide for you 🙂
- Start by lighting a candle
- Gently heat your knife just above the flame for around 5-7 seconds, then cut about 1 cm off the tip of your chosen lipstick.
- Place the lipstick in an empty pan
- Heat the pan over the flame until the product has completely melted
- Leave the pan to cool and set for around 4-5 minutes
- Make sure to create an appropriate label
- And you’re done!
Easy huh? Hope you enjoy the tutorial!
What a wonderful idea! Thanks for the tutorial.
Great idea but do want to warn you… Melting your lipsticks WILL change the consistency and texture. If you don’t see it immediately, you’ll see it over time. I highly recommend you just take a palette knife, cut the lipstick you want and SQUISH them into the metal pans. Consistency, texture and color payoff will not chage whatsoever.
