Mixing Lipstick and Lip Gloss: A Step-by-Step Guide
The key to mixing lipstick and lip gloss effectively is to use the right ratio and method. According to our reference, you should use a 1 to 1 ratio. This means equal parts of lipstick and lip gloss. You can use any type of lipstick: glossy, satin, or matte. The brand of lipstick doesn't matter.
Here's how to mix them:
-
Prepare Your Tools: You'll need a clean, small palette or mixing dish, a spatula or a lip brush, your chosen lipstick, and your favorite lip gloss.
-
Dispense Lipstick: Using your spatula or lip brush, scrape a small amount of lipstick onto your palette or mixing dish. Start with a small amount; you can always add more.

Add Lip Gloss: Dispense an equal amount of lip gloss next to the lipstick. A 1:1 ratio is what's recommended.
-
Mix Thoroughly: Using your spatula or lip brush, mix the lipstick and lip gloss together until they are fully combined and have a consistent color and texture.

Apply: Now you can use the lip brush to apply the mixture to your lips. You can always adjust the ratio as needed to get your desired lip look.
