    So this is the formula I’m using currently and all three test runs have not worked well at all 

    1 teaspoon white bees wax
    1 teaspoon coconut oil (refined)
    1 teaspoon shea butter (refined) 
    1/4 teaspoon kaolin clay

    I have liquid concentrates and mica powders for color but every time they come out very see through.

    I’m also searching for a cosmetic chemist who can do small batch liquid lipsticks.
