Good news is that I've had a go at something new (new for me anyway).
I made some lipstick! Yay!!!!!! It really is quite nice too. It feels really creamy but not greasy and it has some staying power too.
For the colour I used a combination of colorona bordeaux mica (a lovely rich red) and some iron oxide. I had read somewhere that mica by itself in lipstick creates quite a sheer finish but some oxide powder gives the final colour some depth. I suppose it also matters how much mica you use aswell.
Well here it is....
And here is how it looks on some lips. I will post the recipe later on.
