DIY: Lip Tint Using Loose Pigment

Hi! Well, it's time for our first tutorial, and here it is: a simple, easy lip tint using items you probably have around the house. So let's jump right in:

Here's what you'll need:  (plus a source of heat- lighter, stove, even a microwave {if using a microwave, swap out the spoon for a microwavable container} & always remember to be careful!)

Eyeball your container, and scoop out what you think you'll need to fill the container. At most, the Aquaphor (Vaseline works too!) should be about half the size of the (big) spoon- when it melts, too much will make it overflow.

 Hover the spoon over your heat source/ flame or microwave in increments of 20 secs. (times may vary) until the Aquaphor begins to melt.

 Add some pigment (a.k.a. loose eyeshadow- loose blush works too!)- we decided to go with a redish copper and a little bit of gold. The more you use, the more pigmented your tint is. We were looking for only a sheer sparkle, so we went with only a bit of pigment.

 Continue heating and stirring the Aquaphor until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

  Pour the mix into the container and set in a cool place ( fridge, maybe?) for 10 or so min. until it fully hardens back into a solid form.

 Ain't it pretty? The end result was a soft and sheer pinkish-gold with a light shimmer!

We absolutely loved making this tutorial and (especially) the tint! How did yours turn out?
