Q&A for How to Make Lip Gloss

Yes, you can but if you have a sore or crack on your lip and wear the quick gloss, it will burn.

You can try olive oil as well.

Yes, but you might want to omit the honey, as it might make your lip gloss too thick.

It's fine, as it is non-toxic.

Beeswax is a good moisturizer that holds its form. It can also be relatively easy to acquire, depending on where you live.

As long as it says non-toxic on the box of crayons, it is okay to apply to your lips and skin. You can even eat them and nothing would happen to you (as children often do). Crayola brand crayons should be good.

Any edible wax should work. It might not moisturize as well, however.

Yes, but cleaning up after making the lip gloss can be more difficult.

You can cut it diagonally with a knife.

It's up to you. If you want a lighter shade, add a bit off the top of the lipstick. If you want it a lot darker, add the more of the tube.

You could use both if you would like to, or you could make one lip gloss with scent and the other with flavor.

You can get beeswax from your local beekeeper or order it online.

Yes. Add it when you add scent or flavoring.

Of course. It will also help to make the lip gloss more shiny and smooth.

Not really. You could use other brands, just make sure they're 100% non toxic like the Crayola ones. Many people prefer Crayola crayons because they are more vibrant than others.

That is a vitamin E capsule, which gives the gloss more moisturizing properties.

Petroleum jelly should work fine - or melted crayons, if you're okay with something more pigmented (closer to lipstick).

Yes, Vaseline is a brand of petroleum jelly. You can use any brand you like.

Try using just coconut oil or Vaseline for a glossy effect on your lips. Balms won't add much shine.

Maybe. But it might have some unmelted chunks and won't be as smooth.

If you are using this to substitute the lipstick, then yes. Melt coconut oil and the color crayon of your choice to create lipstick. For gloss, you might not want let this harden. However, if you want to use some of the lipstick for future use, pour it into an empty lipstick container, or check out our article for homemade lip balm containers: Make a Lip Balm Container .

You can use eyeshadow to make lip gloss by buying a clear gloss, crumbling eyeshadow, and using the stick to put the crumbs in the bottle the lip gloss is in. Use whatever color you like.

Try edible glitter. it's usually used to decorate cakes, so it's safe. Edible wax can replace beeswax.

Try a crayon in the color you want the gloss to be.

Yes, you can. Since these cosmetics are intended for your face, they're also safe for your lips. However, I wouldn't suggest ingesting any of these ingredients once combined, if possible. Also, when you use the loose powders or eye shadows, the lip gloss will be tinted, not opaque.

You can put some translucent powder on your lips after applying the gloss to make it matte.

Yes, you can use any kind of glitter.

You can use vanilla extract, coconut oil, and sometimes I use concentrated fruit tea.

You can buy beeswax at drug stores or beauty stores, but you may be able to find some at stores like Target or Walmart. Anywhere they have moisturizer or beauty product should have some.

No, the sprinkles will not last as long as glitter, and may spoil or ruin the gloss as a whole.
