DIY Lipstick Pallets

Hey aspiring makeup artists or plain ole makeup lovers! I have been watching a lot of tutorials on how to make your own pallets and the one I thought was absolutely genius was how to make a lipstick pallet.

Lets get started! Here are the supplies you need:
Candle
Knife
Spoon
Water color pallets
Your lip colors
Paper towels
Cup of hot water
Use a tablespoon!

The best watercolor sets are Crayola they have a deeper well and can fit more product.

A small collection of my lip colors.
Step One: Organize your lip colors how ever you want. I chose to do my pinks, nudes, plums, and reds all separate.

Step Two: Pop out the water color from the pallet and rinse out well, let dry.

Step Three: Get a pen and paper so you can mark what color is where so you can label the later.

Step Four: Warm your knife in the cup of hot water.
Step Five: Cut about 3/4 of an inch of your lip color.
Step Six: Put color in spoon and place at least 2 inches above candle flame until melted, be careful not to burn. If you see the color start to have black swirls it is starting to burn.

Step Seven: Pour into your pallet.




Step Eight: While the leftover color on the spoon is still warm wipe off immediately with a paper towel. Be careful not to burn yourself on the spoon it is still hot!


Step Nine: Repeat until all done! Then you have an awesome organized pallet!

Good luck making your own pallet.
Notes: I found that most of my lipsticks melted very well, the only one that I had trouble with was my Stila lipsticks. I stopped melting those.

I am so excited for wedding season to start using these!
