Use Your Spice Lip Liner Pencil as Pigment for this Lip Gloss Recipe

Now that you've mastered an easy lip gloss recipe and discovered how easy making lip gloss really is, how would you like to turn your favorite color of lip liner pencil into a gloss?

Natural Lip Gloss Tips

If you have a color of pencil that is in the natural range, such as Estee Lauder Spice Lip Pencil or Mac Cosmetics Spice Lip Liner, you'll find it works beautifully.

Be careful with reds because sometimes they turn hot pink. So you may want to stick with colors in the deep beige or brown range.

What You'll Need:

    A Base – Use a clear lipstick like the one from Cover Girl Cosmetics.

    A Pigment – It's the color inside your lip pencil.

How To Open Lip Pencils
Most lip pencils are formed from two parts that are sealed together. You are going to pop these apart with a pair of everyday small pliers. You just take the pencil and place it between the pliers and slowly apply pressure. The pencil will begin to pop open!


Combine The Products:

1. Take out the pieces of the colored liner and put it into a measuring cup. Start with half of the color.

2. Is your favorite lip pencil a twist up one? Then just use the colored liner. Twist up as much as you need.

3. Put the lip pencil liner in a small glass measuring cup that is safe to use in the microwave. Microwave for a few seconds to melt it. Then put in the clear lipstick.

Next, just follow the directions in the Easy Lipgloss Recipe. The the liner tends to be a slightly harder consistency than the lipstick, that's why you melt it a few seconds first – then add the clear lipstick. Tweak the color by adding more liner or clear lipstick to your lip gloss recipe.


*You can also use a twist-up lip pencil to make this recipe.

Some of the best makeup recipes are actually the easiest. The beauty of using only a couple of products is that you can "tweak" the amounts for lots of different color variations. Now that you have experienced how easy it is to do a simple lip gloss recipe, try mixing your other cosmetics together.
