Recipe: Lip Veil

Natural Lip Veil, Mocha Lip Veil, Cherry Lip Buff

Lip Veil (or Lip Gloss) is often used when a person wants to have some color on their lips, but does not want an intense, solid lipstick color effect. Lip Veil is also often used as an introduction to makeup for preteen and young teenage girls who want to wear some makeup, but are too young to wear a more intense lipstick color. Lip Veil is generally sheer (think of how a veil is see-through) and is perfect for when you want shine with a tint of color.

You Will Need:

4 oz Natural Lip Balm Base (For Pots)

0.25 ml Flavor Fragrance (optional)

0.15 cc Lip Safe Mica (optional)

Phase 1: In a double boiler over low heat, melt lip balm base for pots until liquified. Remove from heat.

Phase 2: Add optional flavor fragrance and mica and stir well to incorporate. 

Phase 3: Pour into sterilized lip pots and allow to solidify before capping. This base does not make a very stiff gloss, so choose your packaging accordingly.

FYI: Lip Veil comes in a variety of forms and may be applied in different ways. It can be contained in a small cylindrical bottle and applied with a rounded or sloped applicator wand (known as a doefoot applicator), be applied with a built in lip brush, or a small jar or pot designed for application with the fingertip.
