Hi Pyariwaseema - yes - I store it in the refrigerator until use. It is recommended to store cool in general. You can also make very small batches for immediate use as well.
Can't wait to try this... Thank you! I've had a trying time with pencils myself & reformulated repeatedly some of which I've yet to even attempt , I'll be doing this one :) Thanks again Tracey
HI CC Mirabelle - I hope you find it as useful and multifunctional as I do! I'd love a comment on how it turns out for you :)

I just love your tips & recipes!!! Your posts have helped me alot! Making lip & eye pencils is new for me; using your base formula, how do I figure in how much pigment to use without "over wasting" ingredients. I just hate to be wasteful! I'm not sure of the %age in pigment. Can you help me out a bit with pigment figuring? I'm slightly stumped on that.
Hi Abygale - thanks for your kind words! As for adding pigment, it is really up to your preference as to coverage etc etc. Also, oxides are more opaque and stronger in color than micas, so you have to just add a bit at a time until you have the desired effect. Tip: Mix the pigments together FIRST so you know which color you want. Then add your mixture bit by bit. Best of luck with it

Hi Lisa! I was wondering, is there a substitution one could use for "cetearyl alcohol?" I don't have that, only cetyl alcohol.

But if we plan to make it in small batches can we avoid storing it in the refrigerator ?
Thanks again
Tracey
