Homemade lip tint

Monday, December 24, 2012

Here is recipe that I got on motherearthliving.com for all natural lip tint you can make yourself.

DIY Lip Tint 

• 1 teaspoon coconut oil

• 1/4 teaspoon beeswax pellets

• 1/4 teaspoon, plus 1/8 teaspoon, beet root juice

• 1/8 teaspoon vegetable glycerin

Melt the coconut oil and beeswax in a double boiler (bowl in a water bath).  When melted, add in the beet juice and glycerin.  When well incorporated, add to a small jar and you have your own homemade lip tint with all natural, or organic, ingredients.

If you want to make your own lip dyes, here is a list I got from hobbyfarmhome.com: 

Red cabbage: pink

Onion skins: orangey-brown to green

Strawberries, cranberries, raspberries and pomegranates: shades of pink and red

Blueberries, blackberries: blue to purple

Mulberries: purple

Turmeric: vivid orange

Cumin: yellow

Paprika: orange to red

Spinach: pale green to light yellow

Cherries (frozen): peach to beige

Barberry (all parts): yellow-orange
