You can easily create a lip tint from lipstick by mixing it with a moisturizing base like chapstick.
Creating Your Lip Tint
This process involves blending your lipstick with a balm to dilute the color and create a sheer, tinted effect, rather than the opaque coverage of lipstick. The video referenced shows a simple method:
- Choose your lipstick: Select your favorite lipstick shade. The color intensity will be lessened, so bold colors are a good starting point.
- Mix with balm: Combine a small amount of your chosen lipstick with a comparable amount of chapstick or lip balm in a small container. Experiment with ratios to achieve your desired intensity.
- Blend thoroughly: Mix until a uniform color and consistency are achieved. A small spatula or the back of a spoon will work well.
- Apply: Use your finger or a lip brush to apply the mixture to your lips.
Tip: Start with a small amount of lipstick to avoid making the tint too dark. You can always add more to intensify the color.
Adding chapstick not only dilutes the color, but it also adds moisture and prevents the tint from being drying.
