To make crayon lipstick without coconut oil, you can use lip balm instead.
Steps to Create Crayon Lipstick without Coconut Oil:
Here's a simple guide based on the provided reference to create your own crayon lipstick using lip balm:
- Gather Your Materials:
- Crayons (select your desired color).
- Lip balm (e.g., ChapStick).
- A shot glass or small heat-safe container.
- A pan and some water for a double boiler (or microwave).
- Prepare the Lip Balm:
- Remove the lip balm from its tube.
- Place the lip balm into the shot glass or heat-safe container.
- Add Crayon:
- Add one crayon to the shot glass alongside the lip balm.
- Melt the Mixture:
- Use a double boiler method (place the container with the crayon and lip balm in a pan of simmering water) or carefully microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently to ensure everything melts evenly.
- Mix Thoroughly:
- Mix the crayon and lip balm together until the color is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour into Container:
- Pour the melted mixture into a container, such as a clean, empty lip balm tube or small container.
- Cool and Solidify:
- Allow the mixture to cool and solidify completely.
- Test and Use:
- Once cooled your homemade crayon lipstick is ready for use. Apply on your lips as normal.
Important Considerations
- Ratio: The reference suggests a ratio of one crayon to two lip balm sticks, however, this can be adjusted to your preference.
- Safety: Always use non-toxic crayons that are suitable for children. Although using a lip balm will help with moisturizing the lips the ingredients in the crayons are not specifically designed for use on skin and should be used at the user’s discretion.
- Color Intensity: Depending on the crayon and lip balm mixture the color might not be as vibrant as store-bought lipsticks. If you want to increase the color's intensity, use more crayon or a darker crayon.
- Test on small patch of skin: Test on a small patch of skin before applying to lips to check for reactions.
By following these steps, you can easily make crayon lipstick without coconut oil, using lip balm as an alternative ingredient. This is a good way to use up old crayons and create fun, unique colors.
