2. Crumbled Lipsticks Or Lip Balms
Your go-to lipstick took a tumble and now resembles a melting popsicle? No worries! Melt the broken piece gently with a lighter or a match, and press it back into the lipstick tube. Place it in the refrigerator for a brief period to allow it to solidify.
3. Split Pencil Eyeliners and Lip Liners
A broken pencil liner doesn’t mean it’s game over. Warm the broken ends of the pencil with a lighter or candle flame for a few seconds, then gently press them back together. Let it cool before using, and your precise lines are back in business.
4. Broken Makeup Brushes
Oops! Your trusty makeup brush suffered a bristle break. Grab a thin piece of paper and wrap it around the broken part, securing it with a bit of tape. This makeshift solution will hold your brush together until you can invest in a new one.

6. Dried Out Gel Eyeliner Or Mascara
Is your favourite gel eyeliner or mascara drying up? Revive it by adding a drop of eye drops or saline solution. Stir it well with a toothpick to restore its creamy texture.
There you have it—6 quick fixes for those heartbreaking makeup accidents.
