Can you really make lipstick from crayons?
Have you ever wanted to achieve a particular makeup look, but then realised you don't have the colours required in your collection? I was pretty sure I had seen a YouTube tutorial about making lipstick out of crayons, so after discovering that this was a thing (there are now several tutorials!), I decided to try it. I took a small saucepan and filled it with a little water. I then placed it on the stove over a very low heat. I placed a small glass jar in the centre of the saucepan, and broke the desired crayon into thirds. I then peeled the paper, and put two thirds into the jar. As it melted, I added a level teaspoon of coconut oil, and mixed it. Once everything was liquid, I carefully poured the mixture into a contact lens case. It set very quickly, and looked great! However, I was a little disappointed with the result, as it was quite sheer. I really had to pack it on, and even then, it wasn't all that pigmented. I might try again using more crayon or less coconut oi
