November 3, 2014 By TheBeautySection 30 Comments

How To: Mend Broken Lipstick. Have you ever broken a lipstick from leaving in the car too long? This is a super easy trick to mend your broken lipstick back to normal!

Hey friends!!

Hope you had a great weekend/Halloween! Mine was great! The weather took a nose dive though and it is so cold now, and this girl is not quiet ready for that kind of cold. Anyways today I am going to show you How To: Mend Broken Lipstick, a really easy way to fix your broken lipstick, you may not have any broken lipsticks lying around, but you never know when that dreaded day may come. So I’m here to help you out! Keep reading to find out how!

 How To: Mend Broken Lipstick 

How to Mend Broken Lipstick

What You Need:

  • Broken Lipstick
  • Hair Dryer
  • Freezer

Instructions:

Step 1: Use your hair dryer to heat up the said lipstick until it looks like it is starting to melt slightly (you don’t want it to get too hot where you lipstick is left in a puddle, that is beyond help).

Step 2: Take your fingers and mold and press the lipstick back into it’s original state. It will look a little warped from when you first bought it at the store, but remember it did break.

Step 3: Once you have smoothed out the cracks and tried to put it back together the best way you can pop it in your freezer. You can leave it for a few hours or overnight. I prefer overnight just to make sure it has sat for enough time.

Step 4: Take your lipstick out the next day and let it thaw out, and now it’s just like new…well close. The main thing is the color is exactly the same, and it still works, it just may look a little funny!

How To: Mend Broken Lipstick

So see how easy peasy that is? I didn’t get a picture of me using the hair dryer, because I don’t have an extra arm haha. But this is literally the easiest way to fix a broken lipstick. Lipsticks can break for many reasons but the most common is leaving it in the car and it gets too hot and breaks off when you apply it, especially if you apply it as soon as you get in the car.

Maybe this will come in handy one of these days! :)

Lipstick in this post is MAC’s Ruby Woo, their most popular classic red.

 

Have you ever broken a lipstick? Did you just throw it away thinking it wasn’t able to be fixed?

    This is so good to know! I probably would have just thrown it away because I didn’t know you could fix broken lipstick.

    I’m guilty of leaving a lipstick in the car and it melting, this is a great idea and now I won’t think I should just throw it away next time!

      Great idea too! I’ve found for myself though that I won’t use it as much if it’s in a pot vs. a tube…I’m weird! :)

      Aww great! I hope this helps, if you break anymore! It’s such a sad feeling isn’t it? Especially for the MAC lipstick in this post, I had just bought it the day before… heart breaker! :)

    Seriously?! I never knew you could repair something like this! I’ve thrown so many away (or at least the top part) because I thought it was beyond help!

      I know right? This happened when I accidentally left it in the car and then tried to apply it! Oops! At least it was easily fixed and I haven’t had a problem since! :)
