Reviving Dried Cushion Liner
Question
I have a Stila Got Inked Cushion Liner that dried out after using it only once. It's so dry it's unusable. What can I add to make it usable again?
Answer
Reviving a Dried Stila Got Inked Cushion Liner
It's frustrating when a cushion liner dries out so quickly! This often happens because the volatile liquids in the formula (like water or silicones) evaporate when exposed to air, especially if the container isn't sealed tightly.
While we couldn't find the specific Stila Got Inked Cushion Liner in our database to check its exact composition, many cushion liners are water-based. If yours is, you might be able to revive it temporarily.
Method to Try:
- Add a tiny amount of liquid: For water-based liners, try adding just 1-2 drops of clean water (distilled water is best, or a dedicated cosmetic mixing liquid). Avoid using tap water if possible, as it can contain minerals or impurities.
- Incorporate the liquid: Use a clean brush or a clean toothpick to gently press or stir the liquid into the dried-out cushion. Be careful not to add too much at once.
- Test: Swatch the liner to see if it has regained a usable consistency. If it's still too dry, you can add one more drop and repeat the process, but add liquid very gradually.
Important Considerations:
- Adding liquid can change the original formula and may affect the liner's performance, how long it lasts on your eyes, or its shelf life.
- Make sure any tools you use are clean to avoid introducing bacteria into the product.
This method is a temporary fix and might not fully restore the product to its original state, but it can sometimes make a dried-out liner usable again.
