If you have any eyeshadows or blushes in your cosmetics collection,
you'll be able to make your own lipgloss - and customise it to exactly
the colour and consistency that YOU want! Here's how to do it:
Step 1: Find any powder eyeshadow(s) or blush(es) that you don't want.
Step 2: Set out a working surface (this could get messy), I suggest putting a paper towel or paper bags beneath where your working.
Step 3: Smash your eyeshadows or blushes into powder. (Try using the back of a spoon, or end of a spoon, tooth picks help get the powder around the edges of the pan)
Step 4: Grind until the powder is VERY FINE (any clumps and they'll end up in your gloss, not very pretty and it won't look that good).
Step 5: Mix powder with about 1 and a half teaspoon of Vaseline (give or take depending on amount of powder, etc.) in a paper cup.
Step 6: Put paper cup in microwave for approx. 25 seconds on high heat. Mix again. It should be a liquid-y now.
Step 7: Pour into container.
(Note: Please ensure that the blush/eyeshadow you are using is safe to be used as a lip product before using).
Happy DIY-ing! :)
