lipstick palette DIY

MAC Lipstick Palette

Making your own lipstick palette sounds way harder than it actually turned out to be. Yes, you can buy pre-made lip palettes like the ones MAC Cosmetics sells, but if you are as I was, stuck with the palettes on  back order for over a month, sometimes a girl has to take action into her own hands. I even tried to buy the lip palettes from the MAC Pro store in New York when I was there in April but they were completely sold out.

These palettes may be a bit much for an everyday lipstick lover but for Stefanie and myself as freelance makeup artists this lipstick palette makes life so much easier as you aren’t spending valuable time searching for lipsticks and sanitizing each lipstick one by one, not to mention all the space you save in your makeup kit.



lipstick palette DIY

Step 1: gather supplies needed- empty palette, 24 well insert, label maker (we use this one), matches, candle, knife and spoon

Step 2: get together all the lipstick you want to melt down

Step 3: cut off a 3/4″ piece of the lipstick

Step 4: hold the lipstick on the spoon over the flame until melted – caution it does get really hot

Step 5: pour  liquid into the well 

Step 6: continue to fill palette then let sit to solidify again 

Step 7: create labels for the back of the palette with the lipstick names

30 min later you have a finished lipstick palette!

Stef and Janna
