Depotting and Melting

By: Mary Bradley

Ladies I hate having to carry around a bunch of lipstick tubes whenever I do clients makeup. Lately I've seen a lot of people start depotting and melting their makeup (foundations, lipsticks and concealer). So I wanted to try it out myself with my lipsticks!

First I took all my lipsticks, took them out of the tubes (some lipsticks were harder to get out so I scrapped them out with a knife) and put them all in each little slot. Next I put the tray in the microwave for 30 second intervals until the lipsticks were completely melted down. Don't forget to let the lipsticks cool down between each 30 seconds.

There you have it! A easier way to access your lipsticks and a fun little project for you to do:)

When MAC's heroine lipstick came out everybody went crazy for it! You can't even find it on eBay without it being $60! So I decided to look for a dupe of it and I found one! It's "By Starlight" from Melt Cosmetics! It has the perfect matte look and it's only $19!
