I wanted to make a homemade lipstick that looks like the one you get in stores. Turns out how to make your own lipstick like a pro is not as hard as you can imagine. Packaging like this high-grade lipstick tube and a few tools can sometimes make a world of difference!
Lipsticks really do have the ability to add that magic touch to a woman’s appearance that makes you feel like you can conquer the world.
If you’re worried about all the toxic chemicals used in commercially produced lipsticks (and you should be!), it’s time to make the shift to natural, homemade lipsticks. Read on to find out more about the whys and hows!
Ingredients
- 1 tsp natural red colorant 10% Natural carmine CI 75470 (obtained from cochineal on sunflower oil carrier)
- 1 tsp Rice wax 10%
- 1 tsp Carnauba wax 10%
- 1 tsp candelila wax 10%
- 3 tsp organic refined shea butter30%
- 2 tsp organic castor oil20%
- 1 tsp organic camellia seed oil 10%
- You’ll need silicon mold for lipstick you can get this one from Aroma Zone (French company so keep in mind you will have to pay import custom fees if you don’t live in France. )
- or try to the one I found on amazon.com
- Lipstick tubes– If using an old lipstick container one make sure it is clean, dried and sterilized.
Instructions
- Melt the oil, butter and waxes in a double boiler on low heat until melted.
- Add the colorant, mix well.
- Pour in the empty lipstick tube as explained above.
- Put in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Unmold as per instructions.
- Use within one year.
Lipstick containers
I found those beautiful lipstick containers that have a silver body and cap, with glossy silver ring that looks exactly like the one you can buy at a major brand store. You can get those lipstick containers or empty tubes on Aroma Zone (they now deliver internationally from France!) or Amazon.com
When I was done with the final product in hand, I was almost as excited as when I made my first homemade face cream!
The secret to making this homemade and organic lipstick like a pro is the lipstick silicon mold!
It will give the perfect shape. This homemade lipstick recipe is not a regular lip balm recipe as there are a few steps you need to do with the silicon mold. This silicon mold has been custom made by Aroma-zone. It’s a French company that sells great quality beauty care ingredients. The only hiccup is that you most likely will have to pay a custom (tax) fee if you do not live in France.
You could also decide to get another lipstick mold I found on amazon. I have not tried this one yet but it has good reviews!
How to Make Lipstick Without Beeswax at Home?
If you’re vegan and don’t want to use beeswax, or simply don’t have it on hand at the time, fret not, for there are ways you can make an amazing lipstick without it. Alternate vegan options for beeswax include Rice Bran Wax, Candelilla wax, Carnauba Wax or Soy wax. These work just as well as beeswax, so you don’t have to worry about it affecting the quality of your end product.
Ingredients DIY Lipstick recipe
This organic recipe is without beeswax and could be a vegan lipstick recipe if you replaced the natural carmine red colorant by iron oxides.
Instead of beeswax, I’ve used rice bran wax, candelilla wax and carnauba wax.
Why so many waxes you may wonder?
It is because it will give the right creamy and thick texture. This is more suitable for color-rich lipstick. It has a soft satin and semi-matte finish and stay one for more than 5 hours.
It will moisturize your lips while showing intense color.
Rice Bran Wax comes from the cold press de-waxing of the rice bran oil. It can be used as a thickener and has emollient properties.
Candelilla wax is a wax derived from the leaves of the small Candelilla shrub native to northern Mexico. It has great protecting properties and is an effective emollient. Plus it adds a nice gloss!
Carnauba wax comes from the leaves of the Brazilian palm tree Copernica Cerifera also referred to as the “tree of life”. It is used as a thickening agent for lipstick and if one of the hardest of natural waxes.
I chose a red carmine color but you could create your own shade by mixing 1 tsp of camelia seed oil with mica or iron oxide of your choice. I suggest mixing a very small amount of mica or iron oxides together to get the color you are looking for BEFORE you incorporate into the camellia seed oil.
How to make your own lipstick
Tutorial on how to use the lipstick silicon mold
Step 1
Remove the cover and the base of the lipstick container
Step 2
Turn the bottom white part of the mechanism to the maximum in order to have the transparent inner part up.
Step 3
Clip the transparent inner part in the lipstick mold
Step 4
Put the lipstick mold upside down on a table and start pouring through the bottom of the body of the empty case.
Step 5
Pour the melted lipstick mixture quickly inside the lipstick container. Try not to exceed the little white gate.
Step 6
Place the entire (+ mold body of the case) 15 minutes in the freezer in the same position as casting.
Step 7
To unmold, put the lipstick upright and unmold gently the silicone mold.
Step 8
Turn the mechanism to retract the lipstick stick inside the body of the container, then put the base and the cover.
Step 9
Clean the silicone mold with warm water and soap. Let dry before you use it again. Voila, you are done!
How is Lipstick Made in Factories
If you truly knew the extent of the nasty ingredients used in your beloved lipsticks, you might not feel as enthusiastic about putting it on your lips. Tests by FDA in 2012 showed that in a sample of 400 different lipsticks, lead was present in the majority in the amounts of seven parts per million!
Some of the other toxic chemicals used in lipsticks include Polyparaben, Methylparaben, Retinyl Palmitate, and Tocopheryl Acetate. A lot of dyes used are also known to contain harmful compounds like heavy metals.
You have to realize that small exposure built over a long period of time to those chemicals can have a negative impact on your health. If you’re like the average woman who wears lipstick daily and reapplies it repeatedly during the day, think of all the toxic chemicals you might be ingesting unknowingly. Investing in a natural, homemade alternative might be more crucial than you think.
How to Make Matte Lipstick?
If you’re a more matte kinda gal, you’ll be happy to know that you can achieve more or less the same matte look using a few select ingredients in your homemade lipstick that you do with your store brought one. All you need to do is add rice flour and zinc oxide to your normal lipstick mixture and proceed as you normally would. The rice flour and zinc oxide will help give your lipstick that sleek matte look. Take a look at my matte lipstick recipe here!
DIY Long Lasting Lipstick
How long a lipstick lasts on your lips depends mainly on the combo of wax that you use as its base. Also, the colorant that you use is a huge determinant too in this regard. You’ll find that a colorant like Carmine made from Cochenille (red) is especially guaranteed to make it long-lasting. Unfortunately, Carmine red dye is not a vegan option as it is made from insects!
While the longevity of your homemade lipstick obviously won’t be as great as a store bought ones, you can increase its wear time to some extent by following one simple tip. Apply your lipstick as you normally would and then powder your lips with bamboo silica (a great option you can find on Amazon is this one). What the bamboo silica powder does is that it absorbs the excess moisture, which helps lock in the color and makes it more long-lasting.
How to Make Pigmented Lipstick
Just because you’re making lipstick at home doesn’t mean that you should have to compromise on the quality and result of it. For maximum color payoff, consider using colorants like red carmine, beetroot, gremil colorant or red oxides. These will take your product pigmentation to a whole new level and help you achieve that vibrant pop of red color.
How to Make Pink Lipstick
Pink lipstick is essential in every girl’s makeup bag. You can make a shade of pink that’s perfect for your complexion by either using micas or by blending white clay or zinc oxide with the natural red colorant to achieve the shade you desire.
Can your Lipstick be Waterproof naturally?
I know this might come as unpleasant news to you but unfortunately, natural, homemade lipsticks can’t be waterproofed. Waterproofing would mean using certain silicones or copolymers/acrylates, which are a health hazard. If you used these, it’d beat the entire purpose of making lipsticks at home—they’d no longer be safe and 100% natural.
And that’s a wrap! Hopefully, you’re now convinced to make the switch to homemade lipsticks.

Cual es el ingrediente estrella que hace que el labial tenga cuerpo y se vea liso para que tenga una mejor estetica
Hi, camellia oil is the same as camellia seed oil?
Author
yes!
Hi everybody,
I tried it non vegan way and it worked. 🙂 I used the same amount of beeswax to substitute the waxes Eve has used. I used grapeseed oil instead of camelia one, it is a cheaper option. I just saw a video last week how most of the micas available on the market are sourced unethically, by poor children in India. They risk their lives in mica mines, many of them died..It is very sad ☹ For this recipe therefore I ordered ethically sourced mica, it is a bit more expensive, but even the tiniest pot will be enough for many lipsticks
My lipstick came out perfect, it unmolded ok, only think that worries me are lines on the surface (on the sides) of my lipstick. Anybody any ideas on how can I prevent these?
Thank you for your recipe Eve! For people who don’t have an access to rice bran or other waxes and want to stay vegan I would say to use carnauba wax and maybe experiment with it’s ratio together with castor oil + other oils and butters.
Author
Thank you Barbora for sharing, so glad it worked out for you!
Tkb trading has a lipstick mold that is easy to use. I have the three mold version, but they have bigger as well. I love it.
Thank you
Hi I wanted to ask one question. I’m planning to make some organic lipstick with beeswax, shea butter, sunflower oil (because i don’t want vco) and mica powder for the pigment. I’m making it for a business but I’m worrying about the texture. I want it to be matte. What should I do to make it matte? Thanks. 🙂

Hi
Thanks for your beautiful instruction for making lipstick. I want to know that this kind of lipstick last on your lips no long time. How i could change formulation to be lipstcik long lasting type? Which ingeredient to be added
Author
the lipstick is long lasting, no need to add anything else.
Can I use a lipgloss tube Instead of a lipstick tube for this ? I’m trying to start a business and deliver it around the country . The temperature is quite high here and I fear that it would melt out of the stick before reaching the destination
Author
for sure!
I would love to make a pink lipstick. Where can I find what I need to change the color? Most websites say their product is good for lip balm but only pigments say good for lipsticks and balm. I love red but it shows up my imperfect teeth too much so I usually skip the lipstick. Thanks.
Author
Hi Tina, you can use pink mica and mix with a little bit of red cochenille until you get the right color. You can buy on amazon https://www.organic-beauty-recipes.com/pink-mica
I have tried the same exact recipe but I can not get my colors to show do you know what I might be doing wrong?
Author
did you use mica or the actual carmine colorant?
I have the liquid colors and I will it make a difference if I use a metal mold instead of silicon?
Author
I think the metal mold will be hard to unmold and will probably break the lipstick, let me know!
Hi eve, this is lovely but please I need to make a matte lipstick, you said you would release a matte version. How soon?? Thanks
Author
its coming soon, probably end of the month, I promise, stay tuned!
Yay I tuning in for that one too : ). No pressure : P
Thank you for the lovely recipe x

welcome daniela 🙂
Hi Ms. Eve! can i have the recipe for Matte lipstick too?? thanks!
i made tinted lip balm using Beeswax, Shea butter, coconut oil, iron oxide but it was too glossy and not pigmented.. how can i make it matte and pigmented? thanks!
Hi I’m interested in making my own Mattie lipstick
Hello, love your site. Are you still going to do the matte lipstick?
Author
thanks KE, yes sorry for the delay…stay tuned!!!
Hi Eve,
Can I replace the red colour with beetroot granules instead of mica?
Author
yes, that should work, maybe sure its food safe!
hello eve, i want to try this but in matte, so wat will be the changes? thank you
Author
I will release a matte lipstick recipe soon, so stay tuned and subscribe to my newsletter.
i made it right now but turned put like hard as a candle? wat can i do to fix it? add more oil? can i add more castor or coconut?
Author
Hi Shella, if its too hard, add more castor oil.
hello thanks for this blog post. i havent tried it yet though i was wondering how the pigment is in the lipstick you made? is it really pigmented or more sheer? im trying to make my lipstick vegan though so im trying to find a good (vegan) pigment to use ): having trouble !!!
Author
Hi Leah, its really pigmented. Have you tried natural micas?
Has this been tested? Are there good results? Is it a matte or sheer lipstick?
Author
Hi maya, yes its been tested I made it a few times. it is a sheer lipstick but I am working on a matte version!
Hi, could I replace the rice bran wax with beeswax? Would that work?
Author
Hi Maya, it would work but would totally change the texture of the lipstick, it would be like a lip balm instead.
I’m using 2 wax’s Canedilla was and beez wax and jojoba oil and castor and mines is coming out very think and shinny I want it to come on to lips more thick and stay on longer I can wipe it right off after and have a little hint of color on them like it’s oil any suggestions I really want to succeed with this
Author
You got to follow the exact recipe as above, there is a reason why I use 3 different waxes including rice bran wax and carnauba wax in addition to candelilla wax.
If you change the recipe, it will not have the same texture as my lipstick.
Hello. Can i make it only with beeswax and carnauba? Also, can i use sunflower oil instead of camellia?
Author
hi alex, that will change the recipe so not sure how it will turn out, try and let me know.
You can substitute sunflower oil instead of camelia but for the wax, it will change the texture.
Thank you. Just one more question. How long does it lasts on the lips? Also, why castor oil and not olive oil for example? Which ingredients make the lipstick long lasting? Can i use corn starch for example? Maybe its a silly question.
Author
Hi alex, my lipstick is long lasting, about 4-6 hours. If you eat, you will need to re-apply of course like any other lipstick.
Castor oil makes it shiny and thick, I would not use olive oil or it will change the texture (but you can always try and let us know!).
No need to use cornstarch.
Hi Eve 🙂 I’ve made my own lipsticks before with beeswax and olive oil, and the lipsticks turned out quite moisturising, but leaves marks on my glass after every sip and will be totally gone after a meal. Could you share with me which ingredients in your recipe makes the lipstick last long? Or does it have to be this exact combination of all these different kinds of waxes and oil? Thanks in advance!
Best wishes,
Jean
Author
the combination of the wax (carnauba, rice bran and candelilla) makes the correct texture. I am unsure if you remove one if it will have the same long-lasting effect, I have not tested yet. But you can try!
Hi Eve,
Thanks for sharing this recipe…
I hav everything else except for rice barn wax which is difficult to procure.. But I hav sunflower wax.. Can I substitute it for rice barn?
Author
Hi Lalitha, I am not sure of the consistency of sunflower wax but you can try and let me know if that works.
Hello how can I make the lipstick to last longer then a year?
Author
Hi Candace, that would involve using chemicals so I don’t recommend it! 1 year is enough 😉
Hello Eve, i did the organic lipstick in the color blue I use mica but the color didn’t show and it so soft like lip gloss I’m looking to make matte organic lipstick.
Author
Strange! did you use the exact quantities in the recipe above?
And I would not think blue would work, how much mica did you use?
For a matte lipstick, the recipe needs to be modified and you need to the castor oil as it makes it shiny. Will post a matte lipstick recipe soon.
Is this a drying formula? Most lipsticks I get dry out my lips and make them chapped. I made a lip balm this evening using coconut oil & colorant and I like this because it isn’t drying. But I want to make a lipstick that isn’t drying.
Author
HI Sylvia, this lipstick is not drying, on the contrary, it is moisturizing. Some lipsticks are drying because they include chemicals.
Hello Eve,
I’m trying to make a matte lipstick do you have any advise for me??
PS. I recently found your blog and I’m really loving it.
Hi!
I followed the directions and cant get any color to show. Very moist on my lips like a balm but sheer. I am using just old eyeshadow that is very pigmented on the eye. Any suggestions?
Love & Light,
Marie
Author
Hi Marie, its the red carmine color that brings the red color, if you don’t use it its normal that it won’t color the lipstick.
Hi eve where can I find the ingredients in sa kzn?
Author
Hi Nosipho, where is sa kzn? If you have amazon delivery, you can just click the links above and check if that works.
Hi Eve, What’s the expiration “date” on these lipsticks?
Author
Hi Lina, it last a year or more. That all depends on the shelf life of the oils and waxes you use.
Is this recipe for a matte lipstick texture?
I’m trying to make a matte textured lipstick.

Hi shaded, I am going to create one for a matte textured lipstick so subscribe to my newsletter to get the recipe when its ready!
Sorry where can i get those waxes in nigeria plz
Author
Hi, have you tried amazon?
If I use an empty lip balm how many lipstick can I make using your recipe.
What can I use in place of carnauba and rice Braun.
I tried making a lipstick before but it turned out to be dry,sticky on the lips and hard to apply. Which lipstick ingredients you think cause this.
Thank you for any input.
Love your site
May
Author
Hi May, its important to use canauba and rice brown wax as it gives the right consitency for the lipstick. This recipes make 3 lipsticks.
if I want to make pigmented lipgloss, can I just add mica powder to the mixture? or I should add mica + grapeseed oil?
i will try it can you use different amounts??
Author
If you use different amounts, it will be a different recipe so I cant vouch for the results. BUT its good to be adventurous so have fun and let me know what the results are.
Hi I loved reading this. Thank you for sharing this. Can you please let me know what are the preservatives that can be added in the lipstick?
Author
no preservatives needed. This blog is about all natural and organic recipes where no chemicals are added.
Seeing as there’s no water in the recipe, you can substitute a preservative (that is essential for water-containing products) for a small amount of vitamin E or Rosemary antioxidant to help prevent the product going rancid 🙂 just a few drops of each will do the trick.
if I want to make liquid lipstick without eyeshadow and foundation, can I use this ingredients but play with the ratio?
Author
Hi Fierna, no that would not work. If you want to make a liquid lipstick = gloss, that’s a whole different recipe, check out my lip gloss recipe here: https://www.organic-beauty-recipes.com/lip-gloss-recipe/
oh, thanks for the reply 🙂
anw, if I dont have rice bran wax (bcause it’s really hard to find it here) I could use carnauba wax, so the amount should be: 2tsp carnauba wax and 1tsp candelilla wax for this recipe? bcause I have all the ingredients except rice bran wax.
ah and I just have mica powder in hand, what amount should I put?
and for the liquid lipstick/lip gloss recipe, how if i want a matte result?
Author
Hi Fierna, yes you can replace the rice bran wax with carnauba, use 2tsp carnauba wax and 1tsp candelilla wax. It may change the consistency of the lipstick tho so you will have to test!
For mIca, blend 1 additional teaspoon of camelia seed oil with 1 teaspoon of red imperial mica. This would make it a homemade vegan lipstick.
For matte results, I am actually working on a different recipe so stay tune 🙂
Hi Fierna! Does the 2tsp carnauba wax in replace of 1tsp of the rice wax work well?
Also instead of all those waxes could you just replace them with beeswax? I know this would not be vegan but those other waxes are hard to find. Will it work if i just use beeswax? and also how much beeswax should u put in?
Author
Hi Caroline, you will not have the same texture only using beeswax. If you want to make a simple lip balm with beeswax use any of my other lip balm recipes here: https://www.organic-beauty-recipes.com/homemade-lip-balm-recipes/
I wanted to make a green lipstick using this formula. Will it give off color if I try this recipe?
Author
@Caroline, just remove the carmine and use the color of your choice.
Hello, i’m currently trying to make a lipstick right now and I followed your recipe and ordered the same ingredients that you put on your site here. I’m having some trouble with the rice bran wax. It does not seem to be melting I’ve had it in the double boiler for 15 minutes with everything else and I’m stirring it. Do you have any suggestions?
Author
Hi Jeannie, increase the heat temperature, it will melt!
I want to try and make different shades of lipstick. Do you have a recipe for that?
Thank you in advance.
Author
Hi Lori, the best way to create your own shade is to play with the mica or iron oxyde and blend it to your like it before you add it to your other ingredients. I will write something about this to explain in more details!
I’m trying to figure out how I can make a matte pigmented lipstick. What wax’s should I use?
Author
Hi Jae, remove the castor oil for a matte lipstick. castoir oil gives shines!

Hello. I am confusing between Camellia seed oil and Camellia oil. What is the difference? Or it has 2 names. Please help. Thanks
Author
Hi Anh, its the same oil!
Hello.
I am using about 8% of mica in the formula for red color. It is ok. But other light color such as pink then it is not enough. Some people use 20% of mica powder. Is it ok?
I observe that too much mica powder it cannot dissolve in.
Author
Hi Anh, I’ve never tried 20% but if other recipe do it, I would give it a chance with a small batch! Let me know how it turns out.
Hi Eve,
I am severely allergic to castor oil – is this necessary to use in the recipe?
Author
HI Km, you can replace with coconut oil!
What would be a suitable substitute for Rice Bran Wax?
Author
HI Brett, you could use carnauba wax.
Hi can you help me. I followed the recipe and chose to use mica instead of carmine. However the lipstick feels very moisture but does not give any colour on the lips. What am I missing?
Author
Hi Josie, I suggest you use red iron oxyde and mix it with your mica to get the shade you want. Carmine has very strong covering properties and if you only use mica you may not achieve the results you are looking for.
Hi everyone! I made the lipstick and I loved the color, but the lipstick itself was very hard to apply. Do you have any tips to make it softer?
Thank you!
Author
Hi Diane,
Add more camelia seed oil or put less wax to make it less hard!
Hello, I wanted to know how can I make this lipstick mixture to be creamy in a way that I can apply it with my fingers instead of putting it in a lipstick case.
Author
HI Lena, you will have to increase the amount of oil and decrease the amount of wax to make it like a balm.
Looks great! Do you premix your 1 tsp carmine powder with the 1 tsp camellia seed oil that you have listed at the bottom of the of the ingredients list or do you premix it with a separate 1 tsp camellia seed oil than what you have listed in the recipe; and then add that to your melted rice, carnauba, and candelilla waxes, shea butter, and castor oil? I just want to make sure I understand before I try making it. Just didn’t know if I’m supposed to have a total of 2 tsp camellia seed oil measured and use one for premixing the carmine and the other tsp melted in the waxes? Thank you for sharing your formula. <3
Author
Hi cynthia, you mix 1 tsp carmine powder with the 1 tsp camellia seed oil. Have fun!
Thanks for responding. 🙂
Where can i get the lipstick tube? The link doesn’t work 🙁
Author
Hi! Here is a link on amazon for the lipstick tube: http://amzn.to/2hWmlQq – I’ve updated the link in the recipe too.
hi eve!! i love to make beuty products, but right next to your engridients you put %, ile 10% or 20%. can i just ignor those? what does it mean??
Author
Hi Diane, the 10% means it is the ratio of the percentage of the ingredient used – this can help you in case you want to play with the recipe and make substitutions. glad you enjoy the recipe, pls share the results with us!
What would be a proper sustitute for the camellia seed oil please? I have everything but that to make it. Please help. Would avocado oil or T50 vit e work well for a sub? Any help will be most appreciated. Thank you for sharing your formula. I have been researching formulas and have already ordered boron nitride, silica microspheres, and magnesium stearate although they aren’t organic.
Author
Hi Cynthia, you could use grapeseed oil, almond oil or avocado oil. let me know how it turns out!
I want to make my own lipstick, but I don’t wath do you mean with “tps”. Is the same tsp? Thank you for oyur attention.
Author
Hi ligny,
Sorry I had a typo, I have a little of dyslexia from time to time and wrote “tps” instead of “tsp”, thank for noticing!!
tsp: teaspoon
Tbs: tablespoon
hope this helps!
where did you buy all the ingredients?? i would love to make this lipstick but i cant find the ingredients.
Author
Hi Kenny, if you click on the ingredient links in the blog post, you will be redirected to where to buy them online.
You can get all the ingredients online, either on mountain rose herbs if you are in the USA or on amazon.com or amazon.ca if you live in Canada.
Thank you, Eve! I’d love to try this recipe 🙂
May I ask, is the natural color used here derived from the crushed and processed bodies of the cochineal insect, effectively making this a not a vegan friendly recipe?
Author
Hi Deb! Yes you are correct, if you want to make this lipstick recipe vegan, then you would need to use natural iron oxyde instead and dilute it in 1 tsp of camellia seed oil.
