I love to wear red lipstick to go out!

The problem is that I do not support commercial lipsticks ...

They dry my lips and burn me.

Probably because they contain products with names that are impossible to pronounce!

So, of course, I decided to make my own lipstick with the trendy colors of the moment.

Don't worry, this natural homemade lipstick recipe is easy and quick to make. Look :

Be aware that I tried the homemade colored lip balms first but the color wasn't dark and matte enough for me.

I then tested a wide variety of different dyes, and I was most satisfied with the Australian Reef Red Clay. The color is bright and deep and is what I was looking for.

I started with a simple recipe, including shea butter and avocado oil, for their moisturizing qualities.

For the coloring I chose to use clay. And most notably, the deep red clay.

I mix it with a few drops of peppermint essential oil until I get a thick, oily red mixture. Then I poured it into empty lipstick tubes.

Here is the easy-to-make recipe in detail:

What you need

- 4 g of beeswax

- 7 g of shea butter

- 4 g of cocoa butter

- 10 g of avocado oil

- 2 teaspoons of red clay from the Australian reef

- 5 to 10 drops of peppermint essential oil

How to do

1. Melt the beeswax, shea butter, cocoa butter and avocado oil over low heat in a small saucepan.

2. Gently incorporate the red clay and the essential oil, while stirring.

3. Keep turning gently so that all the ingredients are well mixed.

4. Pour the resulting mixture into the empty tubes.

Results

And There you go ! You made your own lipstick in minutes :-)

Easy, fast and natural, isn't it?

In any case me, it is exactly the color that I love! And I can tell you that I do not put more than that.

No more dry lips that burn me! My lips love it and so do I.

The best is to apply this lipstick with a brush because the color is so intense and matte, that you have to be careful.

Additional advice

- You can adapt the color by choosing the clays or ocher powders you want, and mixing them as you wish.

- If you don't want to use Australian clay, you can use Provence red clay. It is just as effective but a little less coloring.

- Remember to store your homemade lipstick in a cool, dry place.

- I love this homemade lipstick that goes well with the rest of my makeup. The smoky eyes and this deep red make for a glamorous look, inspired by the 40s and 50s.
