Hi, thanks for your question. Our Diploma in Formulating Natural Makeup and Advanced Color Cosmetics teaches you how to make a regular lipstick formula more matte. However, the course doesn't cover long lasting matte lipsticks as they rely heavily on synthetic ingredients. You can find out more about the course here: www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com/formulating-color-cosmetics/ You can sign up for a free sample class here: schoolofnaturalskincare.lpages.co/free-sample-of-diploma-in-formulating-natural-makeup-and-advanced-color-cosmetics/

Hi. Best not to use a microwave as it heats ingredients to a high temperature. It's best to use a bain marie, that means warming up a little water in a pot, on the hob. Put the ingredients container in the warm water until they melt.

How did it go? Is there anything you'd do differently? Do you think it would have a better "feel" using a gelling agent (such as Sucragel or Sopragel)?

@@sensimania Hiii. I would definitely add a film forming so it can be longer lasting!!

@@amyycosmeticss Thanks for responding. Will defo look into that before making 💜

Hi, yes you can use beeswax. We haven't tested the recipe using beeswax so I tell you how much you will need. I suggest you experiment with different amounts until you get the consistency you want. You could start with 2% beeswax and see how that turns out. Then increase or decrease by 0.5% until you get the desired consistency. You'll also need to increase your castor oil by the same % you reduce the cera bellina as the formula must always total 100%.eg. if you use 2% beeswax, increase the amount of castor oil in the recipe by 3% and so on.

@@SchoolofNaturalSkincare thank you so much.
