How to fix a dried-up gel liner

We all know how gel eye-liners are so in trend these months. I, myself, prefer using gel eye-liners than the usual pencil eye liners and liquid eyeliners because it is smudge-proof and it is easier to remove. But what if your gel eye-liners had dried up?

People say that once your makeup has dried up, you should throw it out. Why would you throw out a somehow-newly bought make up plus it isn't used that much? So i'll be sharing with you how I fix my dried up gel eyeliners so I could use it again like it's bought recently.

I just finished my black gel-eyeliner and I bought it at the same time I bought this black eyeliner with shimmers. I only used this thrice since I like using the plain black more but it would be a waste if I throw it out. 

The things I need are your hardened gel eye-liner, your eye-liner brush or a cotton bud, a small bowl 1/4 filled with hot water.

Place your gel-liner inside the bowl. Make sure that the water won't go inside your gel-liner. Wait for 8-10 minutes or until your gel-liner has melted. You can slightly poke your gel-liner lightly to check. If it is now smooth, just mix it and tap the case lightly.

And there! You can use your gel eye-liner again like it is newly-bought!
