DIY: Easy Lip and Cheek Stain + How to make a pink lip tint out of red food coloring


Lip and cheek stains or tints are essential for queens like us. Stains or tints provide our lips/ cheeks the most natural glowing look using faint hints of colors. Stains or tints are also very helpful in achieving effortless ombre and gradient lips.

What you'll need:
• Red Food Coloring

Instructions:
In an empty cup mix 1 tablespoon of hot water and 1/2 teaspoon of jelly powder. Make sure the jelly powder is dissolved very well into the water. The color of the jelly powder may either be transparent, white or red but the color doesn't realy matter so you may choose any color available. Next, pour in your red food coloring and your choice of flavor (optional) into the cup and mix until well blended. Lastly, pour in your mixture into the empty lipgloss container, use a funnel or a spoon it really helps the process, and you're done.
