What You’ll Do

Create your own custom lipstick from scratch during a hands-on workshop at Pop Craft Studio in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood.

• Custom Color Mixing Your instructor guides you through blending pigments until you create a shade that feels completely original or closely matches a favorite lipstick you already love.

• Choose Your Scent & Finish Select from different fragrance options and finishes including glossy, satin, and matte to personalize every detail of your formula.

• Step-by-Step Instruction Friendly instructors walk guests through the process from beginning to end, making the experience approachable even for complete beginners.

• Take Your Lipstick Home Your finished product is packaged and ready to leave with you the same day, so there’s no waiting period or shipping involved.

• Relaxed Studio Atmosphere The 90-minute workshop takes place inside Pop Craft Studio’s laid-back Wicker Park space, giving your group time to socialize while creating something personal.

This experience works equally well as a girls’ outing, birthday activity, date idea, or creative group event.

Why We Love It for Groups

• Perfect for Bachelorette Parties The mix of creativity, customization, and social energy makes this a standout alternative to the usual nightlife-centered plans.

• Beginner Friendly No cosmetic or crafting experience is needed, so everyone can comfortably participate and enjoy the process.

• Everyone Creates Something Different Even though the group does the activity together, each person leaves with a lipstick shade and formula designed entirely around their own preferences.

• Works for Multiple Age Groups The workshop is open to both teenagers and adults, making it flexible for birthdays, family outings, and mixed-age celebrations.

• Naturally Social Experience The pacing gives guests plenty of time to talk, relax, and enjoy the process rather than feeling rushed through the activity.
