10 DIY Lip Tints You Can Make At Home Using Kitchen Ingredients

Having naturally plump lips is everyone’s dream come true. While plumping lip serums might work for some, they aren’t everyone’s go-to choice. Lip tints give off a natural look. They are the perfect make-up product for summers and monsoons when it’s too hot and applying lip gloss can be messy. Tints are also great for people who want to do away with the hassle of reapplying lipstick at regular intervals. They also double up as cheek stains and are ideal for you if you don’t wish to use several different cosmetic products. If you want to double up the effect, try plumping lip serums from the Red Dot Shop here.

It’s DIY time, so gather up the natural ingredients, whip up a lip tint in a jar and let your lips talk!
