If you, like me, have a lot of lipsticks, you know that most of the time just looking at the packaging you cannot say which colour they are. Unless you keep your lipsticks upside down or always in the same place and memorise where they are it's impossible to know which is which.
So after watching one of Lisa Eldridge's videos about lipstick palettes (
this one) I decided to try and make my own lipstick palette.
Unfortunately I couldn't find the Japonesque palette she shows in the video (the foundation one, with 28 wells), that looks perfect for lipsticks. I found this one instead:
It is Japonesque but it has 14 big wells on the left side and 21 smaller ones on the right. I used the left side for my favourite lipsticks and the left for the ones I don't wear very often. I wrote the names of the lipsticks on labels and stuck them on both sides of the divider:
Then with a knife I cut half of my lipsticks and just pressed them in the wells with a spatula.
And that's all you have to do. It's a bit messy and requires some patience but it's totally worth the trouble. Now I have all my lipsticks in one place, I can choose the shades easily and I still have half the tube to carry in my bag when I go out.
