Signature Lip Stain!

As you already might have guessed I like to experiment and so with Fall trends I decided that it would be interesting to look at some ideas as to how make lip stains with products we have in our home.The idea behind lip stains is to temporarily saturate the lips with color with a dye, rather than applying a colored wax to the lips to color them. Here's a natural recipe that will work for your pretty pout.

Step 1

Dice a beet root.

Step 2

Set out for 1 to 2 days until completely dried out.

Step 3

Crush Beet to fine powder with a rolling pin, spoon, or pestle and mortar, and then sift root to separate chunks.

At this point, you'll want to decide what kind of tint you want. 

• For a stain like a "Benetint," warm 3 tablespoons of walnut or almond oil with 3 tablespoons of water. 

• For a light, shear tint like "Clinique's" line of "Almost Lipstick," use 6 tablespoons pure almond or walnut oil. 

When oil is warmed, you will need to experiment with how much color you want. Crushed beet root can make a light pinkish color or a deep red.
To store tint, pour into a makeup pot. This stain does not need to be refrigerated. 

Lip Prep: Exfoliate your lips with a sugar scrub or your toothpaste so that the dead skin is removed. Lip Stains are best applied on dry lips.

You can use your old lip gloss containers or get some new one from the craft stores such as Micheals.
