How to prepare beetroot lip stain for pink lips?
Follow this simple guide with steps to tint your lips for a baby soft and baby pink look.
Step 1: Prepare leftover beets
First wash the beets thoroughly with water. Then peel off the outer layer. Cut the beetroot into small slices and place in the food processor. Grind the beets completely until there is a visible watery residue.
Be careful not to add water to the beets as this will affect the vibrancy of the colour.
Step 2: Store it
Carefully strain the juice from the grated beetroot, being careful not to get any chunks in it. Immediately transfer to a clean container to save for future use. Here I used an old lip balm case to store the color. The container or jar you use must be cleaned and sterilized. To ensure the case is clean, wipe off any product residue, wash thoroughly and sterilize with rubbing alcohol.
Step 3: Add coconut oil
Add about a teaspoon of coconut oil to the beetroot tint. If you’re looking for a sheer lip color, you can add a little more coconut oil. If you end up using less than a teaspoon of oil, the lip tint formula will end up dry and flaky on your lips. You can substitute honey or beeswax for the coconut oil as they are great at moisturizing the lips.
Now use a clean spoon or toothpick to mix the mixture well. Place the container in the fridge and wait for the tint to set before using. Since this lip tint is completely natural and preservative-free, you need to keep it in the fridge for a longer shelf life.
The lip tint appears soft pink as soon as you apply it. But once it oxidizes within minutes, your lips take on a gorgeous plum hue that looks stunning on any skin tone! For a softer, more natural look, dab it once or layer it for more intensity.
Reapply your natural lip tint as often as possible and you can have softer, rosier lips in a week.
Bonus tip: You can add granulated sugar to the tint to make your own lip scrub.
