Hello friends! Bad makeup science is back! Wait no, not *bad* makeup science -- potentially *good* makeup science! Or, at least okay makeup science.

So a few months ago while I was jonesing to melt something, I encountered this book -- called Make It Up, by Marie Rayma -- which details how to make pretty much every beauty and body product you can think of, custom and from scratch. And being the lipstick fiend that I am, I decided to follow one of her lipstick recipes to make myself a custom lipstick (color and base) from scratch. What do you think of my final color? What product should we tackle next?

Just a quick note re: the mask test - this video was filmed in April, which was before the mask mandates were lifted where we live!
