As a consumer and a makeup artist, sometimes makeup products get dried out and it is extremely frustrating. I spend money on products that I can’t wait to use and then suddenly, they seem to lack the consistency or texture that was apparent when brand new. So here are my best suggestions on how to fix dried out makeup!
For the most part, cream products are at the center of this happenstance. If you have a cream makeup like a Brow Pomade, you can use a Setting Spray to help it come back to life.
You can also use HEAT. Try to put item under a lamp for about 30 seconds to one minute and when you see it start to glisten or sweat, then it’s reactivated. Use a hairdryer too, this can be done with dried out eyeliner pencils! You can also mix the cream with an emollient skincare product like 100% Argan Oil or Coconut Oil to get the life back. Don’t use any oil that can irritate your skin like peppermint oil etc.
Contact Solution can also be used especially to revive dried out mascara. But add minimal amounts at a time to not make it too watery. Along these same lines you can use Eye Drops to help a dried out cream but use it as a last resort because usually these drops have an antihistamine in them so it’s not the best to put onto skin.
A Mixing Medium like Inglot’s Duraline can also be used to transform a dried out cream makeup. Combine the elements and use somewhat quickly as it dries somewhat fast once mixed.
Use a Hydrating Primer and mix with your cream to bring it back to useable life. An oil free moisturizer can also be a great option to mix.
Remember to always try and keep these makeup products closed tightly and securely to avoid dryness. Also, try and keep these cream products stored upside down so the oils can travel to the surface to keep it from going sideways. Hope these solutions and tips help.
Do you have any HACKS to add to this list?! Let me know :))
