You can follow Antonella's instructions they were running over Christmas on the Q when they were off-air.  I think it's on YouTube.  Basically, melt two colors and mix them together.  You have to have a lipstick mold, but she says they're sold everywhere.

 

I just layer lipsticks to get a color I like.  



Good morning, @Icegoddess. I don't use lipstick molds. I save the metal tins from lip balms, melt 2 shades of lipstick, sometimes add a little Burt's Bee's balm, melt in glass measuring cup in microwave and pour into the tins. I refrigerate for a few hours before using. I use the same method to just tint my lip balms. 


@Shanus yes, I have thought of that, but then you need to carry a lipstick brush around with you to apply it.  


 

@Icegoddess   I use my pinky finger. That's one reason I add a little lip balm. I like not having a thick coat of lipstick, but rather a stain.

@tsavorite   Maybe it's just the fun, artistic side of me. It's like mixing paint colors. I'm always looking for a project that's enjoyable and quick.
