It’s been standing up to use really well without any noticeable staining, and it’s very simple to clean with a cotton bud dipped in a bit of oil.

I’ve learned a lot from working with the TKB base—it’s much firmer than the ones in my book, and much less powdery. Replacing the coloured mica really impacted the colour and brightness, though—this one has an almost gel-like appearance/colour pay-off.

Because the pigment blends in Make it Up are all by volume, I had to do a bit of weighing to get my percentages for the pigments, and go from there.This was my first stab at using a base of my own, and I elected to use some cream blush from Make it Up as I already had a big batch of it in my fridge, so I could just dole some out and carry on. With this one I wanted to try reducing the shimmer, but keeping the powder, as TKB recommended including some powder to improve colour transfer—so I tried sericite mica instead of a shimmery, pigmented mica.

Not only was this causing production stoppages, but also causing large volumes of the lipsticks to be rejected for low quality.I think the only downside is how hard it is to dig a failed tube out of the mold, though this would be an issue with any lipstick mould that didn’t open up like a book. I found I generally preferred more pigment than they recommended, but not as much as I usually put in pot/jar lipstick. Knowing this one would probably be tricky to unmold, I decided to use some dimethicone 350 to lubricate the mold instead of an oil.
