Hello all!
I hope everybody is well and having a wonderful week.
Do you ever leave your gel liner caps off and literally forget to put it on?
I unfortunately did this two days ago, and only realized now, that my eyeliner looks like the bottom of a dried up river bed!!
Is there anyway to save the eyeliner? is it better to just toss it? thanks so much in advance ladies and gents, I hope you have a lovely day!

All feedback and tips are highly appreciated!

I could be totally wrong (I haven't opened one of my gel liners in probably about 2 years) but I believe that saline eyedrops will help revive it :)

Hey! I'm g
having such a wonderful week! Okay so Wayne Goss (gossmakeupartist on YouTube) made a video on how to revive a dry gel eyeliner. I'd link it but I'm on the app and it won't give me the URL, but here's the title: "QUICK MAKEUP TIP! MAKE YOUR GEL EYELINER NEW AGAIN!". You should be able to fix it hopefully!

Hello Hannah, thanks so much for your fast response!
Saline eyedrops? I might try and "foil it with the eyedrops. It's literally like, a dry river bed hahaha! It was only today I was searching for it, and discovered it all dried up. I'm pretty sure a saline solution wouldn't necessarily change the formulation, would it? Thanks so much for your tip, I really appreciate it. I hope you have a lovely Wednesday!

Eye drops do help a and don't change formulas. Just make sure it's not the redness clearing drops. You want moisturizing ones. I don't like gel liners that are on the dry side and I use eye drops in mine all the time. You just put 1 (or if it's really dry a couple) and mix with something like a toothpick. If it's really rock hard dry I suggest putting 2-3 drops in, leaving it for a few hours and then mix.

A little bit of makeup remover and it will bring get right back to life.

I wouldn't recommend makeup remover. If you have an oil based makeup remover and a water based liner or vise versa it can
cause them separate and do funky things to your liner. Plus it might do the same thing as when you put nail polish remover/thinner in dry/clumpy nail polish. It causes the formula to change and is trying to remove as its applied, causing it to last less amount of time, flake off and just doing the opposite of what you want.

Hey try the duraline from inglot!! That stuff is amazeballs and I use it for some of my gel liners/ shadow pots when they get a bit dried up!

Thank you so much ladies, I didn't expect so much feedback. thank you so so much. As I don't have duraline I kept with the eye drop mixture and it worked like a charm. thank you so much!
