Clear lip gloss can be used by itself or on top of coloured lipstick or gloss to create a shiny effect. However, if you find yourself never using your clear lip gloss and wishing it had colour, here are a few tips on easily colouring it.

Steps

  1. Evaluate if it is worth it. If you have under half a container of it left (unless the container is big) it is not worth colouring it when it won't last for long anyway.
  2. Decide what colour you want. This method creates a more muted shade than the source of the colour, so you may wish to go a shade brighter than you normally would.
  3. Source a tube of coloured lipstick. This may be your favourite lipstick or one that you rarely use, whatever you want. As long as it is lipstick rather than gloss or gel, it will work.
  4. Break off as much lipstick as you want (probably somewhere between 1/16 and 1/8 of a teaspoon of it) into a small microwave safe container. Remember the more you use, the stronger the colour of the lip gloss.
  5. Place into the microwave for 30 seconds to melt. If you desire, you may want to crush or break up the lipstick first so it melts evenly.
  6. While the lipstick is melting, open your container of clear fluid lip gloss and remove the applicator so the mouth of the container is open and not blocked by anything.
  7. As soon as the lipstick is done, transfer it all to the tube with the applicator. This can be done by rolling the applicator bud in the melted lipstick or using it to scrape it into the mouth of the container.
  8. Mix it thoroughly with the applicator until the colour is smooth throughout the tube. This should only take 10 - 20 seconds as the lipstick is fluid and will mix easily with the lip gloss to form a compound just as most other fluids would.
  9. Consider whether you need to add more lipstick.
    • Is the lip gloss one colour throughout? Is the colour bold enough that it is visible when on, but not so strong that you look like a clown? If not, add more melted lipstick and try again.
    • Alternatively, is the colour too strong? If so, melt about 1/4 teaspoon of petroleum jelly and add it, essentially diluting the mix.
  10. Try it on. It may look good in the container, but not so great on. Make sure to try the product on before you put it away.

Tips

  • Adding small amounts of edible glitter can create a shimmering effect once applied to the lips.
  • Don't use nail varnish, paint or other fluids, which could be toxic to color your clear lip gloss. You will ingest some of the lip gloss you wear, so make sure everything in it is safe for human consumption in small amounts.

Things You'll Need

  • Clear fluid lip gloss
  • Lipstick
  • Microwave safe container
  • Edible glitter (optional)
