The Beauty Department's DIY Yummy Lip Applies Kool-Aid

The Beauty Department's DIY Yummy Lip post broadcasts its 'The Kool-Aid Lip Stain' look. Powdered candy provides the basis for this springtime makeup style, merging the realm of cosmetics with that of edible sweets.

Packets of Kool-Aid prove to be the perfect lip stain in this instructive entry. To get the funky look, readers can pick from peach mango, strawberry kiwi, grape, pink lemonade and tropical punch flavors. Each one gives way to a different shade, listed on the page according to Barbie pink and bright red hues.

To apply the powder, one will only need to dampen fingers. A simple press down of the Kool-Aid on to one's lip is then smoothed out with a dampened Q-tip, making it even across the mouth.
