Answer 2

Well, if you have a package of lipstick handy you can read the ingredients on there.  But they usually contain some kinds of waxes and oils, possibly moisturizers, and artificial or natural dyes.

Answer 3

lipsticks are made with wax (beeswax,candelilla wax) ,some oil (Castor oil,vegetable oil etc) and of course some pigments n fragrances etc..sometimes red lipsticks also have lead that is not good for lips.

Answer 4

The primary ingredients found in lipstick are wax, oil, alcohol, and pigment. The wax used usually involves some combination of three types—beeswax, candelilla wax, or the more expensive camauba. Wax enables the mixture to be formed into the easily recognized shape of the cosmetic. Oils such as mineral, caster, lanolin, or vegetable are added to the wax. Fragrance and pigment are also added, as are preservatives and antioxidants, which prevent lipstick from becoming rancid. And while every lipstick contains these components, a wide variety of other ingredients can also be included to make the substance smoother or glossy or to moisten the lips.
