The simplest way to make your lips attractive without using a conventional lipstick is to moisten a Q-tip in water, dip it in JELL-O powder, and then apply on your lips. If you are a vegan, consider using a vegan jelly powder as most jellies contain gelatin.
Besides, you can create your own homemade organic lipsticks from all-natural ingredients like beeswax, candelilla wax, vegetable glycerin, coconut oil, cocoa butter, aloe vera, grapefruit seed extract, vitamin E, jojoba oil, castor oil, and so on.
Check out this video showing how to make natural lipstick yourself.
These lipsticks can be prepared easily at home at a cheap cost. Moreover, it is wise to use organic lips sticks because they do not contain harmful chemicals like lead.
Another advantage of using a homemade lipstick or lip gloss is that you can personalize your color. For instance, for getting a purple color, you may use alkanet root.
Similarly, to get a yellow color, you may add saffron, turmeric, annatto, etc. Besides, you can use harmless, mica-based coloring pigments.
