How To Revive Your Dry Gel Eyeliner

5:52 PM

Have you ever in this situation? When you would use your eyeliner, you find it in a dry and cracky conditions.. Have you?

Well, I've been there. My Maybelline Lasting Gel Eyeliner ruined and dried! Then I googling to find some methods to rejuvenate those poor eyeliner. I find some tricks from several beauty blogger, then in a moment later I tried to do it.

Now I would share the tricks with you, based on my previous experience...

Actually, there are more than one methods to rejuvenate your eyeliner form. Like the common way, we used to put them in a bowl with a hot water in order to make it melt back to its own original form. It works well for the liquid eyeliner, but I think it would be different when it comes to the gel/cream eyeliner. Their thick consistency are need extra effort more than a bowl of hot water. We have to intervence the product inside, not merely the pot.

Okay, this trick really works, and you just need a little home first aid materials. Yes, you don't need to spend extra penny to make your gel eyeliner like a brand new.

You just need :

- Your poor dry gel/cream eyeliner

- Spatula ( better it comes in small size)

- Eyedrops liquid ( I used Visine). Its not recomended to use a circle lens liquid because it has different formulas.

- cotton bud / Q-tips

When you finished gather all the materials, then you go to the step, trust me it's easy....

1. Drops some eyedrops liquid into the pot (maybe 3-5 drops) depends on your gel eyeliner conditions. I dropped 4 times to mine.

2. Mix it by stirring all the whole inside. Mix until the liquid makes the dry gel eyeliner back into it's smooth form.

3. Flatten the product, tidy up the mess thing. I used my mini spatula by dabbing it. It was easier to used a spatula than a brush when I did all those thing.

4. The last, clean up the excess along upside the pot and absorb the rest of liquid inside with cotton bud.
