2. In a separate container, combine all Color group ingredients with some oil from the melted oil phase or additional oil. Grind and mix thoroughly to disperse the pigments well until smooth.
3. Combine the dispersed color mixture with the melted Wax/Oil mixture and stir until homogeneous.
4. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add heat-sensitive ingredients such as antioxidants, fragrance, or certain film-formers. Stir quickly to incorporate.
5. Pour the mixture into prepared lipstick molds while still warm. Allow to cool and solidify completely.
