• Eyeshadow
• Petroleum jelly

Find an old eyeshadow (or buy a cheap one) in the form of either loose or compacted powder, rather than a gel form. Scoop the eyeshadow into a bowl and use the back of a spoon to mash it up until you've got a fine, lump-free powder.

To give the lipstick some shimmer, try adding a little shimmering eyeshadow to the main color you have chosen. Using eyeshadow is a great way to experiment with interesting lipstick colors. Eyeshadows are like color pigments so thats why we use it. Go for green, blue, black, and other colors that are difficult to find in lipstick shades.

Mix the eyeshadow powder with petroleum jelly. Place about a tablespoon of petroleum jelly in a microwave-safe bowl. Add a teaspoon of eyeshadow powder. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat it until it melts and becomes runny, then stir it up to distribute the color throughout the jelly.

Add more powder if you want the lipstick to have a more saturated hue. (Darker/Opaque) Add less powder for a tinted lipgloss look. (Lighter/Translucent) Instead of petroleum jelly, you can substitute clear chapstick.

Pour the mixture into containers. Use an old lipstick or chapstick tube, a cosmetics pot, or any other container with a lid. Let the mixture harden before you use it.
