Lipstick Formulation Workshop

Learn how to make your very own lipstick in Melbourne!



2.5 hours Location Collingwood Class size 12 guests   $100

Learn how to make your very own lipstick that reflects your personal style with Work-Shop Melbourne. Our hands-on session begins with understanding the foundational element, cocoa butter. The luxurious texture and nourishing properties of this ingredient set the stage for creating a range of vibrant lip colours. After familiarising ourselves with the basics, we'll transition into the art and science of lipstick formulation. From selecting the right pigments to understanding the balance of different ingredients, you'll be guided every step of the way. By the end of our class, you'll have made five lipstick tubes in a shade of your choice. Feel free to exchange your creations with fellow participants for a diverse colour palette or keep your masterpieces for personal use or gifting. Note: Rest assured, all our ingredients uphold the principles of Fair Trade and/or organic sourcing, and we proudly maintain a 100% plastic-free packaging initiative.

Recent reviews of Lipstick Formulation Workshop

  • 5/5 from Maura McGovern, attended Jul 2026: I bought this voucher for my Aunty and myself to go for her birthday, usually we do a high tea but decided to do something a bit different. She is obsessed with lipstick and this was the perfect gift! The class was fun and really informative, the teacher was excellent and we were really happy with our lipsticks!
  • 5/5 from Tracey Monahan, attended Jul 2026: What an amazing experience. Tina was excellent in her descriptions is how it would all work and very attentive to us all as we had so many questions. It was run exceeding well and professionally executed. We had a great time and learnt lots. Thanks so much!
  • 5/5 from Leonie Lockwood, attended Feb 2026: Tina was super friendly, knowledgeable and patient, giving time to all class members. She’s put together a fabulous fun workshop to make your own lipstick.
  • 5/5 from Liz Winterburn, attended Jan 2026: This was such a great workshop to learn how to craft your own custom colour lipstick. Class size was small enough to get help from the teacher, and yet big enough to get ideas from what others were creating. We came away with enough lipstick to last for many, many months. I would highly recommend this class to someone who likes to know what goes into their skincare, and who enjoys getting creative with colour.
  • 4/5 from Jen Lwin, attended Jan 2026: The lippy workshop was chosen as a fun experience to share with a friend. Really loved mixing my own colours and at the end of it come out with a real product that was of good quality and sustainably made was amazing. Tina was very scientifically knowledgeable, patient and gave one on one time as needed to everyone. Going for more fun than facts - taking a friend to share the time with was a good choice.
  • 5/5 from Sally Fisher, attended Oct 2025: Fun workshop mixing pigments to make own shade of lipstick - smells great, like chocolate, because the base is cocoa butter
  • 4/5 from Karli Laredo, attended Oct 2025: was a great class to do with mum for mothers day! we had a lovely day
  • 5/5 from Stephanie Gooley, attended Jun 2025: Had so much fun learning about different pigments and creating the perfect lipstick shade! Tina was a great teacher. Her steps were easy to follow and she was always ready to help if needed.
  • 5/5 from Sophie Phelan, attended Jun 2025: Really easy to use ClassBento. Classes to book come up frequently and there were no issues. The actual class I booked for lipstick making was fantastic. Our teacher was great and it was a really fun day. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Elena Suares, attended Apr 2025: I had a wonderful time spending a few hours learning to make personalized lipstick that is free from chemicals and preservatives. I love how the chocolate-scented lipstick feels, especially since it’s made with organic ingredients and pigments. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning how to create natural cosmetics.
  • 5/5 from Danielle Pacella, attended Apr 2025: The natural lipstick making class was fun, informative and creative. The teacher was perfect, she was engaging, and intelligent, she has her own natural cosmetics range and was knowledgeable and generous in sharing all she knows. I would do it again and recommend the class.
  • 5/5 from Marguerite Mulcahy, attended Oct 2024: I did this course in response to allergies I was getting from regular commercial lipstick.. I really enjoyed this lipstick making class! Just enough time to create 5 lipsticks of high quality, in a colour you have mixed all on your own, using healthy ingredients. The lipsticks glide on beautifully too.
  • 5/5 from Sivan Barak, attended Oct 2024: Amazing presentation Fun mum daughter activity Love Tina Love my new lippy Got the exact shade of pink I wanted
  • 5/5 from Belinda Loke, attended Oct 2024: Generally everything was great. Communication was clear and the material was good quality. The only thing needs a bit of changes was more time, so maybe only me that i have more time to tune my lipstick colour.
  • 5/5 from Marie van Drimmelen, attended Jul 2024: Oh what fun! We had a great time learning and experimenting with colour. I thought mine was not the right colour but in the end it worked out perfectly. Thanks Tina, can’t wait to start using my lipstick.
  • 5/5 from Anna Xia, attended Jul 2024: Tina led a very leisurely class on zinc oxides, iron oxides, mica colours to have a play and mix around with to produce our own preferred lipstick colour. The formula is based on coca butter which is excellent for skin hydration and rejuvenation. It was a full class and we made enough formula for 5 lipsticks each. Melting, mixing and pouring. Highly entertaining activity.
  • 5/5 from Joanne Serbos, attended Jul 2024: This was so much fun! Attended with a friend and we had a great time experimenting with the pigment to make our own lipstick colour. Loved it!
  • 4/5 from Bhawisha Chand, attended Jul 2024: The class was super fun and informative. I enjoyed learning about natural products and the ethics behind some of them and you could tell that Tina had really researched the products she uses in her classes. I loved playing with around with the pigments and walked away with 5 new lipsticks!
  • 5/5 from Lauren Ahern, attended Feb 2024: The lipstick formation workshop with Tina was absolutely wonderful. We booked in for my best friends bachelorette party. The guests all had an awesomely fun time, the bride-to-be loved it, and Tina was the real MVP. Could not fault anything re: the venue, teacher, being able to coordinate all the little things before the date, the feel of the venue on the day. Was all just perfect! Would absolutely recommend doing one of the available workshops here for any type of party. 100/5 star review from us. Final shoutout to Tina - you were amazing.
  • 5/5 from Amy Cripps, attended Feb 2024: So much fun! The colours are sooo stunning and you get time to experiment so you get the shade you want Really nice texture and Tina was really knowledgeable and helpful. I definitely want to make more!
  • 5/5 from Helen, attended Feb 2024: We did the class as a friends birthday outing. The teacher was lovely, we were late but she took that in her stride and quickly brought us up to speed. I loved playing with the colours and seeing how to blend them to a shade I liked. Tina was really helpful and patient. The creative feel of the venue was fun, I liked seeing other classes happening at the same time. We each took home 5 lipsticks so it seemed like good value for the time and product. I loved learning that you can make your own ethical beauty products and Tina's knowledge of the science behind them.
  • 5/5 from Alma, attended Feb 2024: great class and teacher. Easy to follow instructions and participants get to take home 5 tubes of lip balm. Fabulous.
  • 5/5 from Alexandra Tyrrellgraham, attended Feb 2024: I gave two girlfriends this class as a gift, so the three of us went together. We had so much fun and produced (with expert guidance) five lipsticks each - which we shared so had three different colours. The space is very 'warehouse cool' - a fabulous place full of creative activity. We (about 10 of us) were in a well lit room, sitting around a big table with lots of space. Tina was an excellent teacher, who supplied quality base products which she explained clearly. All in all it was a fun, good value for money way to spend part of a Sunday afternoon - and to top up your lipstick collection. Definitely recommend - in fact I'm about to buy this class for another friend
  • 5/5 from Nikki, Jason, Georgia, Oscar and Gabe, attended Dec 2023: Teacher was passionate about her craft and willing to share her knowledge …. Great way to spend an evening
  • 5/5 from Shakira Pratt, attended Dec 2023: Wonderful class and teacher. It was great to try something unique and learn along the way.
  • 5/5 from Naina Knoess, attended Oct 2023: Absolutely fabulous- fun as well as informative. Great teacher with the expertise and sunny disposition as a bonus!
  • 5/5 from Emily Chou, attended Oct 2023: This workshop was so much fun and informative. Tina is a wonderful teacher and generously shares lots of tips and tricks. I loved learning about cocoa butter and the other ingredients, and the tinted lip balms I took away from the workshop.
  • 5/5 from Judith Hoffmann, attended Oct 2023: Tina was lovely and so knowledgeable. ️. Great idea to do with friends. Thanks so much, Tina!
