Dried Out Gel Liner

Can a dried out gel liner be restored? Here’s how to do it:

Step 1

Turn on the tap and grab some hot water. Or you just can boil water too.

Step 2

Put the gel liner inside a ziplock bag. Before sealing, make sure there is no air inside the bag to prevent water from getting in.

Step 3

Put the plastic bag inside the glass filled with hot water and just leave it there for 30-45 minutes.

After the allotted time, take the gel liner out and you can enjoy your creamy and smooth gel liner once again!

Dried Out Cream Eyeshadow

What to do if you left your cream eyeshadow open and it dried out? This.

Step 1

Add 2 drops of purified water to your cream eyeshadow.

Step 2

Put it in your microwave oven and set the clock at 10 seconds.

If it’s still not creamy, put it back and do another 10 seconds.

Repeat the process with 10-second increments until you reach the consistency you’re looking for.

Step 2

Do a couple of sprays directly on the broken powder makeup.

Step 3
