Watch as I demonstrate how I made these glitter lip glosses that I have featured in my previous video. Such a great way to use basic products and enhance your whole look! Get creative and reach out for any pigments you might have that you’d love to turn into lip gloss.
The song played is As One (애즈원) – For The Night (오늘같은 날).
You’ll need:
Highlighter; can be your favourite, one that you think would look nice on your lips, or some you rarely use like I used
Lip gloss; this is just a basic £1 lipgloss I got from the hair shop
Bobby pins; or just something in general to scrape the highlighter and to mix the highlighter and lipgloss together
Container; I got these mini doe foot applicator tubes from ebay, since it’s lipgloss you probably want to use a container that’s really secure like these
Paper; to help aid the process of getting the highlighter into the tube
Cotton pad or wipe; to clean up any mess
First step is to prepare the highlighter, so scrape off he amount of highlighter you want to use, you have the option of adding more if it’s initially not enough. Fold your piece of paper and tap the highlighter into the crease. This should make it easier to guide the powder into the tube, you can also use the bobby pin to shove it in.
As you can see, I’ve filled about a third of the bottle with highlighter.
Next is to fill the rest up with lip gloss! This was quite hard, I must admit, but definitely doable. After doing these three times before I finally got some technique which was to tilt the bottle and control the lip gloss into the tube slowly from the edge of the top.
Using a bobby pin, get stuck in and start mixing the pigment with the lip gloss. Give it a good stir so everything is combined.
Scrape off all the excess product from the bobby pin into the tube you can and add the stopper. Without the stopper the lip gloss will leak everywhere.
Clean off the top with a cotton pad or wipe, add the lip, and you’re done!
