Optional Step

If you like the texture of the lipstick in your palette to be smooth, pop the now full palette in the microwave for approximately 5-10 secs. This will melt the lipsticks down, once it cools down, the lipstick will solidify and be a smooth texture. Although you may not want to do this as it can disturb the consistency of the lipstick, having a smooth texture may be better for you personally.
