Make-up
Shine from beauty products or natural way out ?
I never felt at ease at Makeup and beauty products store. Your face which is less than 10 inches, requires products which cost more than 10 dollars. Are you kidding me?
All celebrities put forward their makeup essentials, Katrina Kaif- Kay essentials, Deepika Padukone- 82', Priyanka Chopra's Anomaly, Kriti Sannon’s Hyphen, Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty, Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty, Jennifer Lopez’s JLo beauty , Sugar, Nykaa, Huda beauty and God knows what not. Leave other girls, I have even seen my own sister, spending lakhs on these products and whenever she went to USA, she would bring concealers and other makeup products at discount and would feel product of herself.

🧪 Ingredients
- 1 medium beetroot (fresh, for natural pigment)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (moisturizing base)
- 1 capsule of vitamin E (antioxidant, nourishing)
- ½ teaspoon Vaseline petroleum jelly (for smooth texture & shine)
🥣 Step-by-Step Process
- Prepare the beetroot color
- Wash and peel the beetroot.
- Grate it finely or blend it into a paste.
- Place the pulp in a clean muslin cloth and squeeze out the juice.
- Alternatively, simmer grated beetroot in a pan for 5–10 minutes to reduce into a thicker concentrate.
2. Mix the base
- In a small heat-safe bowl, add coconut oil and Vaseline.
- Warm gently (double boiler method) until melted and combined.
3. Add nutrients
- Pierce a vitamin E capsule and squeeze the oil into the mixture.
- Stir well.
4. Combine with beetroot pigment
- Add a few drops of beetroot juice/concentrate into the melted base.
- Mix thoroughly until the color blends evenly.
5. Set the lip tint
- Pour the mixture into a small clean container (lip balm jar or tin).
- Let it cool and solidify at room temperature or refrigerate for faster setting.
💄 Usage & Tips
- Apply with a clean finger or lip brush for a natural rosy tint.
- Store in a cool, dry place; lasts about 2–3 weeks.
- For deeper color, add more beetroot concentrate.
- For a glossy finish, increase Vaseline slightly.
That’s my secret of lip tint, also used for cheeck tint. I love making homely products and using only those on my face. As I love myself and dont wanna waste it to chemical products even when I have little of myself left in my own body.
