Instructions

    • 1

      Add the rose hip oil and the beeswax pastilles to the glass bowl. Rose hip oil, a popular ingredient in hair and skincare, provides moisturizing properties to the lipstick recipe.

    • 2

      Microwave the bowl on high for about a minute, or until the contents melt into a liquid.

    • 3

      Stir in the powdered mica mineral. Choose a color that suits your complexion and lips. For this lipstick recipe, colors can include carnelian, dusty rose and taupe. Mica mineral provides natural benefits to mineral cosmetics, replacing chemical colors and pigments.

      Pour the melted, brightly colored mixture into the low-profile cosmetic jar. This serves as a pot for the lip color to be applied with a lip brush. This rich mineral lipstick recipe is creamy, thick and provides long-lasting and deep color to your lips. As an alternative to the lip pot, you can also pour the melted lip color into a lip balm tube.
