Hey, girls, imagine this: you walk into a studio in Budapest that looks like a cross between a luxury makeup lab and a girly living room. Soft lighting, little glass jars everywhere, pigment powders in every shade of the rainbow, essential oils, waxes, small measuring spoons and jars – it’s like you’ve suddenly stepped into the kitchen of a real beauty witch. ✨
Small workstations await you at the tables: mixing bowls, tiny spatulas, a scale, and a small heater where colors and scents will be blended together. The atmosphere is immediately relaxed, everyone is laughing excitedly, because let’s face it, most of us have never made our own makeup products before.
Learning how lipstick is made
The workshop leader – who is usually either a professional cosmetics developer or a beauty industry expert – talks about how lipstick is made.
Did you know, for example, that its durability comes from the waxes in the base, its color from the pigments, and its nourishing effect from the added natural oils?
And that making lipstick is both a science and an art? Here you can experience both.
The moment of magic – when YOUR color is born
When it’s time to mix, everyone lets loose. Some go for classic red, others look for a subtle nude, and of course there are always those who want to create the wildest pink or burgundy.
And the best part is that there are no wrong decisions – every color is unique and will suit everyone because they chose it themselves!
You mix, you experiment, sometimes there’s too much pigment – „wow, that’s a little dark, let’s add some white!” – other times it turns out perfect on the first try, and everyone looks at you with admiration.
Finally, the most exciting part comes: when you pour the still-warm lipstick mixture into the mold or case and let it cool.
The feeling is indescribable – you stand there and watch as a completely unique cosmetic is born under your hands.
The end result – more than just makeup
Everyone takes home their own lipstick, and believe me, the next morning when you put it on, it will feel completely different than when you use one you bought in a store.
Because this lipstick was born from your imagination and your taste. What’s more, many places work with organic and natural ingredients, so it’s not only beautiful, but also gentle on your skin.
And of course, you can often customize the case as well. Imagine that not only the color is yours, but the entire lipstick matches your style—an elegant, black velvet case, a golden sparkle, or even a playful, colorful version.
The mood – a truly girly experience
What makes these workshops truly magical is the atmosphere. You’re together with other girls, chatting, laughing, and everyone proudly showing off their own blend.
Often there’s prosecco, snacks, or coffee on the table, so it’s like a luxury beauty party.
It’s not just a workshop, it’s an experience that brings people together.
It’s a brilliant program for a bachelorette party, for example: everyone makes a lipstick, and then they go out together to party, where everyone wears their own creation.
It’s also the perfect birthday gift—who wouldn’t enjoy an afternoon like this?
A memory you carry with you
One thing is certain: once you’ve been to a workshop like this, every time you take out your lipstick, you’ll remember the atmosphere, the laughter, the little mishaps, and the moment of success.
It’s more than just makeup: it’s a little piece of memory that you carry in your bag.
