DIY: How to make lipstick into lip gloss?

At more than one occasion, it happens that the lipstick we bought or got turned out to be too stiff or awkward in use.

Lipsticks are available in truly interesting and crazy shades. Remade lipstick into the lip gloss can be a perfect option when:

With lipstick it is not that easy, because necessary may turn out to be, e.g. lip liner.
