Content: Choosing your oils and waxes
Any liquid oil should make a homemade costume makeup stick with a similar consistency to the ones I made. I used sunflower oil because it is an inexpensive, non-comedogenic oil that can be easily found even in supermarkets here. For somebody who has issues with acne, it makes a lot of sense to use a non-comedogenic oil. No matter which oil you use, though, these makeup sticks won’t be fully non-comedogenic. Beeswax has a comedogenic rating of 2, meaning that it may cause breakouts for some people. Candelilla wax only has a comedogenic rating of 1. It is very similar to beeswax in texture, so you can substitute the beeswax for candelilla wax to make a vegan, less comedogenic makeup. Keep in mind that the colorants that you use may also affect the comedogenic rating of the final product. Customizing the texture of your makeup
When formulating the recipe for this homemade costume makeup, I experimented with a lot of different ratios of oil to wax. I assumed that using more oil would give a softer, easier to apply makeup.
