In brief

Turn old lipsticks into a compact, custom lip palette by melting them into reusable pans—ideal for decluttering your makeup collection and saving drawer space. This method uses basic household items and costs under $10 (excluding lipsticks). Perfect for those who prefer a minimalist, DIY approach to beauty organization.

Questions & answers

What pan sizes work best?

The creator uses 15mm or 26mm aluminum or tin pans.

Can I use any blade or spoon?

Yes, a knife, exacto blade, or even dental floss works for scraping. Any oversized metal spoon is fine.

Description from the creator

**PLEASE READ BELOW**
First - Thank you for all of you who've left me such great, sweet, and positive comments on this video. You guys are the ones I make these videos for.
Second - Comments for this video have been disabled for the following reasons: there have been SO MANY people saying "you're annoying", "you talk slow", "talk too much", "you're an idiot", "stupid idea", "you wasted so much of my time with this video", "blah blah blah" etc.... to the point where every other negative comment was no longer original, and it was just a ton of angry people (that must hate life and kick kittens for fun) repeating something that others had already typed before them. If you're going to be a TROLL, at least try to be original at it. I mean, it's sad when you suck at being a TROLL.
Listen, it's not because I can't handle negativity... trust me, I can. But I am (and will always be) a firm believer in the saying "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM is ALWAYS welcomed by me... but if you have nothing constructive, or intelligent to say, I don't want to waste my time reading it.
Trust - NO ONE "wasted your time"... YOU wasted your own time by watching this from beginning to end.

If you are watching this video, and have any questions on the process or products I used in the video, please feel free to email me your questions. I always respond to emails. (Email address listed down below).
