If you ask "How long can I use it safely?" you can use your lipstick for 1 month with peace of mind by keeping it in the refrigerator or at least at room temperature, in a moisture-free environment. If you think you will not be able to finish this lipstick in 1 month because it is prepared with natural products, which has a short usage period, you can prepare a smaller amount of lipstick by reducing the ingredients in the same proportions.

If you want different, more vibrant colors: How to make lipstick with food coloring

If you want to have full lips: Ginger or peppermint oil
If you want these practical lipstick recipes that you will make at home to make your lips look fuller, you can add a teaspoon of ginger or mint oil to all the recipes we have explained above. In this way, your homemade lipstick will not only color your lips in the most natural way, but also give them fullness.
However, let us warn you from the beginning, ginger or peppermint oil can cause a slight burning sensation on your lips. If you have an allergic constitution or are directly allergic to any of these oils, you should not include them in the lipsticks you make.
What to watch out for: Tips for making lipstick at home
We have explained almost everything you need to know about lipstick making, and we have also given lipstick recipes one by one. However, we also wanted to talk about what you should pay attention to when making lipstick at home, and not to pass without explaining the tricks of lipstick making.
The most important thing to pay attention to when applying any of these recipes is to follow the measurements given in the recipes exactly. Otherwise, your lipstick will either not hold its consistency, or its color, or its smell. Therefore, it is important to use each ingredient in the exact measurements given.
Likewise, you should make sure that the container in which you will store your lipstick is clean, sterilize the container well before transferring the lipstick into it, and make sure that it does not get damp, is not exposed to excessive heat or cold, and is not kept in dirty environments, we advise you.
Finally, there is another method that we haven’t mentioned in the recipes for making lipstick at home: making lipstick with crayons . This lipstick, which is obtained by melting 1 small crayon in a bain-marie method and adding 1 tablespoon of olive oil or coconut oil and mixing, is not very natural, as you might guess. Although many people who use this method say that they prepare this lipstick using crayons specially prepared for children and said to contain no chemicals, and therefore it is not harmful, we still recommend that you stay away from this method as much as possible and get support from radishes, beets and natural oils instead of crayons.
An important note: If you are allergic to any of the ingredients in the lipstick recipes or if your body is prone to allergies in general, do not apply these homemade lipstick recipes without consulting your doctor and do not endanger your health.
