Using everyday foods and household goods, you can treat yourself to a whole new collection of lip products, concealer, and eyebrow tint. Find the ideas that work for you and let yourself shine!
1. Lip Tint Made Out Of Bubble Gum
You’ll Need:
- 2 tsp bubble gum
- food coloring
- lip brush (for application)
Here’s How:
Put the bubble gum, Vaseline, and food coloring into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir the hot ingredients together until they form into a single, cohesive whole. Pour the liquid lip tint mixture into a resealable jar and let it cool down with the lid off. Now you can give your lips a special shine with your very own bubble gum lip tint.
2. Scented Lip Balm
You’ll Need:
- melted shea butter
- approx. 1 tsp soda (e.g. Coca-Cola, Mountain Dew, or Sprite)
- Put the sugar, shea butter, and soda on a spoon and heat everything over a candle. Pour the mixture into a lip balm container, seal it, and freeze it. You’ll be able to pamper your lips in no time!
Tip: Don’t fill the container with too much of the liquid lip balm since it will expand when it freezes.
3. Natural Eyebrow ‘Pencil’
You’ll Need:
- almonds
- lighter
- eyebrow brush
Here’s How:
Burn the tip of an almond until it’s black. Rub the eyebrow brush on the dark residue left from burning the and use it to tint your eyebrows. This natural beauty tip is even easier than using an actual eyebrow pencil!
4. Natural Concealer
You’ll Need:
- 1 tsp flour
- makeup sponge
Here’s How:
Mix the peanut butter, flour, and olive oil together (be sure to adjust the amount of peanut butter to match your complexion). Next, apply your homemade concealer with a makeup sponge and enjoy an even, natural complexion.
5. Galaxy Lipstick
You’ll Need:
- 3 non-toxic face crayons
- gummies
- glitter
- empty lipstick tube

Alternate pouring melted ingredients into a lipstick tube and waiting for the layers to harden. Now you can put your lips into orbit with an out of this world lipstick design.
