The best part of Lip Print Beauty Bar Charlotte is that you are not hunting through rows of makeup for a shade that is almost right. You create the color yourself, from classic pink or red to something far less expected, then add extras such as glitter, shimmer, flavor, fragrance, or lip plumper.

I like the hands-on format and the fact that you leave with a real product rather than a souvenir photo. I also like the family-friendly setup, which gives parents, daughters, nieces, and friends a simple way to spend an hour together. The main consideration is the limited schedule, currently listed for Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Key points

  • Make one custom product: Choose lipstick or lip gloss and take it home.
  • Create nearly any shade: Pink, red, green, and other custom colors are possible.
  • Add personal touches: Pick from glitter, shimmer, lip plumper, flavor, and fragrance.
  • One-hour activity: The session fits neatly into a day in Charlotte.
  • Small maximum group: The experience accepts up to 16 people.
  • Simple cancellation terms: Cancel at least 24 hours ahead for a full refund.

Mixing Your Own Color at Lip Print Beauty Bar

Lip Print Beauty Bar Charlotte: Create Your Own Lipstick or Gloss - Mixing Your Own Color at Lip Print Beauty Bar

Lip Print Beauty Bar Charlotte turns makeup shopping into a small creative workshop. You begin with the basic materials for one lip product, then mix and blend until you reach the color and style you want.

That difference matters. A store lets you compare finished shades under its lighting. Here, you make the decision yourself. You can aim for a familiar pink or red, or choose something unusual, including green. The point is not to match a standard shade chart. It is to make something that fits your taste.

The process is guided in English by a licensed or certified guide. The supplied details do not name individual guides, so you should not expect to request a particular person. Still, the format is meant to be assisted rather than completely self-directed, which helps if you are unsure how bold to make your color.

Your finished item is molded into a lipstick or prepared as a lip gloss, depending on the option you choose. You take that product home at the end, giving the hour a useful result instead of making it only a short activity.

Choosing Between Lipstick and Lip Gloss

Lip Print Beauty Bar Charlotte: Create Your Own Lipstick or Gloss - Choosing Between Lipstick and Lip Gloss

The first practical choice is the product itself. Lipstick feels like the more classic option, while lip gloss may suit someone who prefers a lighter, shinier finish. The information provided does not specify the exact finish, wear time, or size of either product, so I would not book this expecting a professional cosmetics consultation or a guaranteed match to a particular commercial brand.

For a child, lip gloss may feel more playful and approachable. One family outing included a daughter who especially enjoyed making lip gloss, while the adults enjoyed the shared activity. For an adult who already has a clear idea of a favorite lip color, custom lipstick may be the more satisfying choice.

You are making one product per booking. That means a group of three should expect three custom items if each person books a place, not a selection of products for each participant. If you want both a lipstick and a gloss, confirm whether an extra product can be purchased before you arrive, since the included materials cover one custom lipstick or lip gloss.

Adding Glitter, Shimmer, Scent, and Flavor

Lip Print Beauty Bar Charlotte: Create Your Own Lipstick or Gloss - Adding Glitter, Shimmer, Scent, and Flavor

Once the base color is chosen, the fun shifts to small details. You can add glitter or shimmer for a brighter finish, or keep the product simpler. You can also select lip plumper, flavor, and fragrance.

These add-ons make the session more personal, but they are worth choosing with care. A bold color plus glitter and shimmer creates a very different product from a soft pink with no extras. If you are making the product for daily use, a restrained combination may be more practical. If the activity is part of a birthday, girls’ day, or family outing, the more playful choices may be exactly the point.

The supplied information does not list the available scent or flavor choices, nor does it promise a specific level of plumping effect. I would treat those features as creative options, not as a substitute for a medical or cosmetic consultation. If you have a sensitivity to fragrance, flavor, or other cosmetic ingredients, ask the staff before adding them.

The products are described as vegan-friendly and cruelty-free. That will matter to shoppers who want a product made with those standards in mind, though the available details do not provide a full ingredient list. If you need to check a particular ingredient, contact the business before booking.

A One-Hour Activity With a Useful Finish

Lip Print Beauty Bar Charlotte: Create Your Own Lipstick or Gloss - A One-Hour Activity With a Useful Finish

The scheduled duration is about one hour. That is long enough to feel like an event, but short enough to fit between other plans in Charlotte.

You should allow time at the beginning to settle in and decide what you want to make. The actual pace can vary depending on how quickly your group chooses colors and extras. A child who knows exactly what she wants may move quickly, while a group comparing unusual colors may use more of the hour.

The best use of the session is to treat the process as the main attraction. The finished lip product is a nice result, but the value comes from deciding together, blending colors, and seeing a personal choice become a usable item.

The activity is also friendly to mixed-age groups. The supplied experiences include nieces, daughters, and adults enjoying the same session. Children and adults can take part, although an adult should use good judgment about which cosmetic ingredients and add-ons are suitable for a child.

Same city, a completely different last round:

Why the $65 Price Can Make Sense

At $65 per person, this is not a bargain makeup purchase. If you only want an inexpensive tube of lipstick, a shop or drugstore will cost less and offer more choice.

The price makes more sense when you count the activity itself. You are paying for guided time, the materials for one custom product, the chance to make a color that may not be available off the shelf, and the finished item to take home. For a birthday outing, mother-daughter afternoon, or small group celebration, that combination can justify the cost.

Value depends on how much you enjoy making the product. If you like hands-on activities and personal choices, the hour should feel worthwhile. If you mainly care about buying a certain brand or finding a long-wearing formula, this is probably not the right place to spend $65.

The experience is often booked about 27 days ahead. That suggests you should plan early if your date is fixed, especially since the listed opening hours are narrow. The maximum group size is 16, which keeps the activity from becoming a huge crowd but may still feel busy if the room is full.

Getting to 210 E Trade Street

Lip Print Beauty Bar Charlotte: Create Your Own Lipstick or Gloss - Getting to 210 E Trade Street

The meeting point is Lip Print Beauty Bar Charlotte at 210 E Trade St, C250, Charlotte, North Carolina 28202. The location is near public transportation, so you may be able to reach it without driving, depending on where you are staying.

The activity begins and ends at the same address. That makes it easy to fit into a larger Charlotte plan, since you do not need to arrange a separate return transfer or find a second meeting point.

The provided details do not name a parking garage, give walking directions, or explain the exact entrance to suite C250. I would check the address and arrival instructions before setting out, particularly if you are coming with children or carrying shopping bags.

The listed hours cover Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The booking information shows this schedule from June 13, 2024 through June 5, 2026. Check your selected date carefully, since a spontaneous visit on another day may not work.

What the Group Experience Feels Like

The social side is a major part of the appeal. You can compare color ideas, help a child decide on glitter, or make completely different products while sharing the same hour.

This works especially well for a small family group. One outing with nieces became a memorable activity because the staff gave the children individual attention. Another family session centered on mother-daughter time and making lip gloss. Those details point to a warm, personal format rather than a silent counter where you simply receive a product.

Still, the amount of personal attention may depend on the size of your group and how many other people are booked. The maximum is 16 participants, so a full session will not feel like a private appointment. If one-on-one guidance is important to you, ask about group size when booking.

There was also one instance of booking confusion that the staff worked through so the customer could still take part. That is encouraging, but it is not a reason to leave arrangements until the last minute. Keep your confirmation handy and contact the business promptly if anything looks wrong.

Who Will Enjoy This Most

I would recommend this experience to anyone who likes creative beauty activities more than standard sightseeing. It suits:

  • Parents looking for a child-friendly activity
  • Friends planning a beauty-themed afternoon
  • Families spending time together in Charlotte
  • Visitors who want a small, practical souvenir
  • Makeup fans who enjoy unusual colors and finishes
  • People arranging a birthday or special group outing

It may be less suitable if you want a quiet, private appointment, a professional makeup application, or detailed advice about skincare and cosmetics. The experience is about making one custom lip product, not receiving a full beauty treatment.

Lip Print Beauty Bar also offers an organic custom body butter bar. That is a separate option, so do not assume body butter is included in the $65 lipstick or lip gloss session. Ask about it if you want to create a skincare product as well.

Booking, Cancellation, and Practical Details

Lip Print Beauty Bar Charlotte: Create Your Own Lipstick or Gloss - Booking, Cancellation, and Practical Details

You receive confirmation at the time of booking, and the ticket is mobile, so you can keep it on your phone. The experience allows service animals, is near public transportation, and is listed as suitable for most participants.

Gratuity is not included. The supplied information does not state an expected tip amount, so you can ask the staff if you want guidance before the session ends.

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made within 24 hours are not accepted, and the amount paid is not refunded. The cut-off uses local Charlotte time, so check the clock carefully if your plans change.

Because the activity is commonly booked several weeks ahead, I would reserve early for a weekend trip, birthday, or fixed family schedule. The current listed hours are Wednesday and Thursday only, so date flexibility helps.

Should You Book Lip Print Beauty Bar Charlotte?

Book it if you want a creative hour with a finished product to take home. The strongest reasons are the freedom to make unusual colors, the choice of fun add-ons, and the family-friendly format that works for children and adults together.

At $65, it is best viewed as an activity plus a custom cosmetic, not as a cheap way to buy lipstick. I would choose it for a girls’ day, a parent-child outing, or a small celebration. I would skip it if you only want a specific branded formula or if the Wednesday and Thursday schedule does not fit your plans.
