I'm not sure about you,But one big problem I find is finding a good lip stain! for me one of my favourite beauty products is lip stain for the reason being that I am extremely lazy and hate touching up! I also love the natural matte look without reapplying! however I find it frustrating looking for a lip stain that lasts all day with giving my lips a nice tint look the whole day! 
so I decided to make my own lip-stain that is Guaranteed to last all day and even more! this easy home made lipstain last the whole day and the colour remains even the next morning,to get your own "red lipstain" for this easy steps!

1.all you need is red food colouring preferably the powdered red food colouring!
2.mix a pinch of food colouring with a spoon full of water
THAT'S IT! your done
* Important* the red food colouring really stains so try not using your hands and wear gloves or just use a spoon or something that you don't mind staining!,also when applying the stain use a cotton swab and be careful when applying as it does stain immediately so try to get it right at first go,however don't worry this is not permanent! when applying if too much is used just dab excess stain off or just gurgle using water to get a more natural finish.
*tip* the more stain you use the more pigmented,do a test and trial to get the right pigmentation,the more water the more diluted therefore the less pigmentation.



Crayola Lipsticks are a much safer alternative to wearing everyday lipsticks which can gradually damage the skin on your lips due to the lead that is found in the lipsticks however crayola crayons are made for children and the ingredient are made to avoid intoxication.
all you need are obviously crayons, the best ones I have noticed are the crayola brand as it seems to have the best pigmentation, also It cost me only £1.20 for two crayon packs due to half price sale at wilkinson,you will also need any oil, I use olive oil you can use almond, also its optional to use a moisturiser because of the crayola fragrance, because crayons have that weird crayon smell which feels waxy on the lips and is quite distinct, you can also use body butter (beeswax/cocoa butter) or essential oils, you will also need an empty chapstick case or empty pot to store the lipstick.

1. Get a microwavable plate/dish and mix 1 tsp oil, 1 tsp face butter/moisturiser/essential oils.

2. Place the mixture into a microwave for about 5 minutes or you could heat it on top of a stove.
3. Remove the dish from the microwave/heat source and then give it a good mix.
4. Place the liquefied mixture into the empty storage pot/stick, the crayon immediately turns into a good wax like lipstick texture, clean around the pot to get an even finish.
5. Place the pot into a fridge for about 15 minutes to keep the lipstick set and remove and the safe tinted crayon lipstick is ready to use.
