Do I get anything in the mail?
No. This is a digital method: you get instant access to every recipe and guide the moment you pay. Nothing is shipped. Bases, colors, tubes and tools aren't included.
I've never made makeup. Can I really do this?
Yes. If you can follow a cookie recipe, you can follow these. Start with a recipe marked Beginner: a base, one color and a flavor, weighed on a kitchen scale. Your first batch takes the longest.
Will it come out sticky?
Not if you follow the grams. Sticky gloss is almost always too much thick base and not enough oil. Every recipe has the ratio worked out, and the Mistakes page shows how to rescue a batch that came out too thick or too thin.
Aren't there free tutorials online?
There are, and that's where the weekend goes. "A squirt of this, a little of that", craft micas that aren't allowed on lips, and no idea why yours came out cloudy. Here every recipe is in grams, with lip-safe colors and its own shopping list.
Is it safe? What goes on the lips?
Only ingredients and colors made for lip products. The Lip-Safe Color Guide explains which colorants are allowed on lips in the US and which are not, and every recipe uses only the allowed ones. If you have allergies, check each ingredient first.
Is it legal to sell homemade lip gloss?
In the US you can sell cosmetics you make at home, as long as you follow the labeling rules and use allowed ingredients. The Label & Batch Kit covers the ingredient list, net weight and batch log. Check your state and local rules too.
What do I need to start?
A kitchen scale that weighs in grams, a few small bowls, a spatula, syringes and empty tubes. The starter kit on the Supplier List comes to about $45 and fills dozens of tubes.
How long does a tube last?
Gloss made without water keeps for months when it's stored closed and out of the heat. Each recipe gives a "best by" time and the Label & Batch Kit has the date line for every tube.
Can I sell what I make?
Yes. The gloss you make is yours to keep, gift or sell, with nothing owed to us. What you can't do is share or resell the recipe files.
What can I actually earn?
We can't promise any amount. It depends on your hours, your prices and who you sell to. The Price & Sell Sheet shows you how to work out a fair price for each tube, and many people start with a few gifts for friends. Results are not guaranteed.
How much do the materials cost?
About $2–3 for one tube: the base, the color, the flavor and the tube with its wand. Shimmer and lip oils run a little higher. The Supplier List shows what to buy so nothing goes to waste.
Does it work on my phone?
You can read everything on your phone, tablet or computer, right next to the scale. The labels print from any device connected to your printer.
Is it a video course?
No. It's a set of PDF guides and recipe cards with a picture for every step, so you can follow along at the kitchen counter and go at your own pace.
I've tried side hustles before.
This isn't one you have to join. No stock to buy, no recruiting, no monthly fee. If you never sell a tube, you still have 60 recipes and a gloss you made yourself.
Is it safe to buy online?
Yes. Checkout is secure, access arrives by email the moment you pay, and you're covered for 7 days.
And if it's not for me?
Your purchase is covered for 7 days. Open the method, pick a recipe, and if it isn't for you, send us one email and we'll refund you in full.
