What You’ll Need to Make Your Fave Glossy Creation (You GOT this)

We can’t start slaying the glitter gloss game unless we’ve got everything we need, right? But don’t worry; everything’s pretty simple, and most of it you can grab off Amazon or hit up your fave local craft store.

Here’s the ingredient lowdown:

So now that we’ve got the glitter, the gloss, and the know-how ready; it’s time for the FUN stuff.

Step-by-step Guide (Get Ready for Magic!)

Okay fam! Take your hair, tie it back (because who wants it getting in the gloss?), and let’s get to business. Here’s how you’re gonna become a glittery gloss-making QUEEN (or KING, let’s be inclusive).

1. Get Yo’ Gloss Base Ready

This is where things get real. Grab your lip gloss base. If you’ve got Versagel (it’s like… THE standard for DIY lip gloss bases!), just squeeze a small amount into your mixing bowl. If you’re feeling fancy and want to measure it out, I’d say start with one tablespoon for each gloss you’re making.

Pro tip, don’t be out here using any random gel base; you want one safe for your lips!

2. Add That Hydration, Baby!

If you’re just making a clear glitter gloss, still throw a little coconut oil or castor oil in because gloss without moisture is just trouble. Like, we’re not trying to have crusty lips out here. You only need about half a teaspoon of oil (depending how many you’re making). Remember, gloss is supposed to be moisturizing, not greasy, so less is more here!

If you want your gloss a bit thicker, like that luxurious FENTY VIBES texture, now’s the time to throw in a teeny bit of beeswax or shea butter. Just melt it and stir it in!

3. Sparkle Time! (AKA THE MOST IMPORTANT PART ✨)

Ready for the part where we turn the drama up to 11? Go in with your cosmetic-grade glitter. Trust me when I say COSMETIC glitter. Don’t even THINK about using craft glitter, unless you want stuff in your gloss that’s super sharp. Ouch, that could get so messy.

Sprinkle however much glitter you want into your lip gloss base depending on how shimmery you want. A pinch will give a subtle glow, but if you wanna go full Euphoria, don’t hold back. 😜 Pop, stir, and admire how instantly magical it looks.

More glitter = more glam. No apologies needed! Shine brighter than your haters.

4. OPTIONAL: Color Me Impressed! 🌈

If you’re aiming for more than just gloss and glitter, let’s add some color. This is optional, but pigment powder can take your gloss from basic to full-on ICONIC real quick. Not too much pigment though, queen! A pinch will do. You don’t wanna overdo it, because you still want the glitter to shine through.

5. Add Some Flavor ‘Cause Why Not?

This is also extra but like… why wouldn’t you want your lips to smell yummy? Add a tiny drop of your favorite essential oil; think peppermint for that tingly, fresh vibe, or maybe vanilla for something sweet and sassy. Or try watermelon if you’ve got some fun summer plans ahead. 🍉💋 Just be careful with the essential oils, a drop or two goes a long way.

6. Get that Gloss IN THE TUBE!

Mix that masterpiece real good! Now time to transfer that bad boy into your lip gloss containers. You can use a little pipette or even a tiny funnel if you have one. If you don’t have those things lying around, you can improvise using a plastic sandwich baggie! Cut off just the EDGE of one corner like a DIY piping bag. Basically, like you’re trying to get frosting onto a cake, but in this case, it’s gloss in your tube.

Yassssss. You’ve legit become a beauty scientist and it’s officially GLITZ GLOSS O’CLOCK!!!

7. Show Off That Masterpiece 💁‍♀️

BOOM. You’re DONE, boo! Now you’ve got that bomb DIY glitter lip gloss, and it’s time to let your lips do the talking (literally). This gloss will have you SHINING brighter than your phone screen at midnight when you’ve been scrolling TikTok for hours. Don’t lie, we’ve all been there! 😅

Add Your Signature Look with Your DIY Gloss 💫

What’s the point of making your own creation if you’re not pulling it together with a lewk that’ll make heads turn? Here’s where the mix of makeup, outfit, and glitter gloss come together for that final boss energy 🙌.

✨ Laidback Fit: The gloss will give off effortlessly cute… think high-waisted jeans, cropped hoodie, and sneakers. Add messy waves, and YOU’RE GOLDEN.

✨ Going Out (Glow Up!): Pair that glitter gloss with a sharp winged liner, a little highlight on those cheekbones, top it off with a slick pony, and GURL, nobody will miss you!

✨ Festival REALNESS: Glitter liner, face gems, colorful eyeshadow, the WHOLE THING. Basically, anything shiny and sparkly is your best friend. Oh, and PLEASE wear the gloss under neon lights! It’s magical.

Quick Tips, Because FAM… I Got You.

1. Don’t over-glitter unless you like the gritty/sandy feel. Add sparkles slowly and test first.

2. Want super moisturized lips? Add more coconut oil; just don’t go crazy.

3. Store extra gloss in a cool place. Heat + gloss = a big no-no.

And let’s be real here: you’re now that friend everyone’s asking, “OMG, can you teach me?” You’re basically the glitter fairy with lip magic.💖✨ Cue the slow-mo hair flip
