This article will teach you how to make tinted lip balm, which not only gives your lips a hint of tint, but smells great and adds moisture to your lips. It's extremely easy and completely free.
Steps
Take a scoop of petroleum jelly with your spoon and put it in the microwavable bowl.[1]- If you want to add some SPF in it, put some sun cream in the bowl.
Put the bowl in the microwave for 1 minute. Keep microwaving the mixture until it turns into a complete liquid.[2]Advertisement
Add the food coloring. You are using food coloring because it's safe if ingested. The more coloring you add, the redder the lip balm will be- You can also put a few drops of yellow food coloring for an orange tinted lip balm, and of course, you can also use any loose eyeshadow and pigments instead or with the food coloring.
Mix the contents of the bowl well, using a spoon. Stir continuously.
Keep stirring until the color combines with the petroleum jelly.- Transfer to the microwave if you want the lip balm to look flat and new.
Chill it. Put it in the refrigerator to let it cool and harden.

Pour a little water in the clean bowl.
Put the quantity of the lip balm you want of Vaseline in the bowl. Let the Vaseline soak the water a little.
Pour a little honey in the bowl. This is added to help make your lips smooth.
Cut off the tip of the lipstick with the knife. Carefully slide it into the bowl without staining anything around you. Start using the fork and stir it until it is a smooth paste.
Put a small dollop of water in the bowl. Stir it until it is thick and quite smooth. Put it in the microwave for 30 seconds to 2 minutes and pour it into a little container. Let it set in a fridge for 6 minutes, to let it cool down.
Get the container out of the fridge. Put a cover on it and make sure it is tight so that nothing can get into your lip balm.
Done. You can now start using your tinted lip balm!

- You can also label the lip balm if you want, and give it a name, such as "Super Strawberry" or "Light Lemon" or "Pink Peppermint."Thanks
