Chicago's Best Lip Gloss Bar, Brought to Your Party
Our lip gloss bar brings Chicago parties a little sparkle you can take home. Every guest designs her own lip color with a host beside her, watches it poured into a tube, and leaves with a shade nobody else owns.
We call it the Lip Lab, and we bring it to homes, high-rise party rooms, hotel suites, and venues across the city. So whether it's a birthday, a bachelorette, or a girls' night in Lincoln Park, the fun comes to you.
- Formulated in our own lab
- 16-shade swatch board
- Ages 5 and up
- Fully hosted
Why our lip gloss bar is a Chicago favorite
After all, most party activities end when the party does. A lip gloss bar, however, sends every guest home with something she made and will actually use. That's why hosts across Chicago book the Lip Lab for celebrations big and small.
It's also beautifully easy. Each visit takes just a few minutes, so the line keeps moving and nobody waits long. Plus, the bar is styled to your colors, so it photographs as well as it plays.
Best of all, the color is ours from start to finish. Our lip creams and glosses are made by hand in our own lab, with natural, cosmetic-safe ingredients.

Parties we love in Chicago
Birthday parties
From a 5th birthday to a Sweet 16, guests of every age love designing a color. It is one of the easiest Chicago Sweet 16 ideas to plan. See our kids beauty parties.
Bachelorettes and bridal showers
The bride and her friends each make a shade to wear that night. It's also one of our favorite Chicago bachelorette party ideas, and it fits a hotel suite perfectly.

Lip gloss bar Chicago FAQs
How does a lip gloss bar in Chicago work?
First, we bring the Lip Lab to your home, party room, or venue. Each guest picks a lip cream or gloss, builds a shade with a host, and leaves with her own capped tube. A visit takes just a few minutes, so everyone gets a turn.
What ages is the Lip Lab for?
Everyone from age 5 and up, so the whole family can join. Our Kids Lip Lab is made for younger guests, while tweens, teens, and adults love the Basic and Premium Lip Labs.
Is it sanitary?
Yes. Because each guest's color is mixed for her alone and poured into her own new tube, nothing is shared.
Are the ingredients safe?
Yes. Our lip color is formulated by hand in our own lab with natural, cosmetic-safe ingredients, and full ingredient and allergen details are on our allergens and safety page.
Can you set up in a Chicago high-rise party room?
Yes. The Lip Lab fits a condo party room, a hotel suite, or a dining room table. We just need about 12 x 6 feet and two 6-foot tables, or we bring tables for $30 each.
How far ahead should we book?
Weekends fill first, so reach out as soon as you have a date. For December parties, book by late summer.
