For the lip stain to make at home, you would need a small tablespoon of vanilla essence, a few red crayons, chapstick for sure and a drop of olive oil.
Instructions:
- In a deep bowl, place the chapstick and the crayons to melt on low heat.
- Now it all depends on the shade of red that you desire to have. For more red, add more red crayons and vice-versa.
- Once the crayons and the chapstick melt, you can then add the vanilla essence and remove the bowl from the flame.
- Stir well with the help of a fork so that the liquid doesn’t stick to the mixing tool.

We are talking about DIY berry lip balm, which would need red crayons or deep beetroot paste or red food coloring. However, if you want brown lip stains, you could use coco powder, and if you want a matte touch, you could use bentonite clay.
Please do use a drop of any aroma oil for a little nice smell to come through.
Instructions:
- First, on a low flame, melt the beeswax along with the butter and the oil until all three turn into a liquid.
- Once the melting is done and over with, you can now add the beet root paste and the cocoa powder together, with a little bentonite clay.
- Mix well and then add a pinch of cinnamon powder with a drop of aroma oil and give it a good mix with a fork. This would darken the mixture which is normal, because when you apply the lip stain to the lips, it would automatically lighten up.
- The mix would still be in a semi-liquidish form, which is when you should use a dropper and pour the mix drop by drop into a lip chap container.
- Keep it till it cools and then use when needed.
Enjoy making you own DIY berry lip stain and flaunt those berry lips in summer!
