How To: Depot Your Lipstick

I have about 50+ tubes of half used lipsticks in my kit. I needed something a litle more practical to carry with me to a shoot and still be able to have as many options as possible...


I bought this on sale at Shoppers Drug Mart for $10.80 (Reg $18.00) I figured it was small enough to experiment with and toss in my purse for travel or Bridal. It comes with everything you need and I'll re-use the other tools when I do my major depot for my kit.



This case only has 8 small wells. You can buy larger cases from craft stores or Japonesque sells a variety of empty lipstick palettes.


You'll also need a knife and cutting board to actually cut the lipstick to be put into the flexible microwave safe bowl.


For this particular sized palette I cut a chunk of lipstick off about the sie of my thumbnail.


Put it in your microwave safe bowl.


I have a tiny microwave, so 60 seconds was perfect. If you have a normal sized microwave start with 30 seconds if its not liquified by then, keep going in 15 second intervals. *You don't want it to boil or you'll ruin the lipstick.


It should be a water like consistency, the bowl will be hot, but you should try and pour it into the palette well as soon as possible to avoid it getting chunky.


Continue the steps until all of the wells are filled! The lipstick is good to use within about 30 minutes, or you can stick it in the fridge to use in about 10. * I used the red lipstick, looks just the same as when I used it straight from the tube, meaning that heating it up did not change the quality of it!

  • You can also mix and match to make a custom colour mixing as many colours as you'd like. Just make sure you adjust the portion sizes appropriately.
HAPPY DEPOTING!
