MY GO TO BEAUTY HACK USING MICELLAR WATER!

Is it just me or does every single eyebrow pomade or gel liner in existence just dry out sooooo quickly??? No matter how much I tighten the lids of these products, after each use they just go from a gliding gel to a thick cement. I mean sometimes makeup isn't exactly the cheapest, so when I do buy high end products I not only want them to last long but also want the products to have the same consistency to when I first got them!

I first noticed this with my NYX eyebrow pomade. This pomade is an apparent dupe for the Anastasia Beverley Hills one and although I haven't tried those yet, it's probably true as I'm in loveeee with my NYX one and have repurchased it so many times! One of the main reasons I kept repurchasing this product so often is due to the fact of not being able to finish it, as it got so dry it would literally pull some brow hairs out when I used it, which is my absolute WORST nightmare!

I was getting ready one morning and was in SUCH a mad rush for work and I remembered I forgot to replace my crusty ass, dried out pomade. I was stressing out soooo much because I was point blank refusing to leave the house with a full face of makeup on with non existent eyebrows so I had to think quick... MICELLAR WATER. It was the closest thing to actual water that was nearest to me so I just added 1 or 2 drops into my pomade and hoped for the best. Put it this way, if it was going to get ruined from adding micellar water then it wouldn't matter as it was useless anyway and it would have been thrown out! I mixed the pomade with the micellar water and it turned so smooth and applied AMAZINGLY on my brows! Literally the best thing I've ever thought of hahaha! I then went on to try it on my other pomades and even some gel liners that needed a little TLC and it worked soooo well again. The only thing I haven't tried this with are creamy concealers, only because the ones I use never go dry so I don't need to do this, but it might work on them too! I honestly haven't heard anyone speak about this hack before and also haven't seen it on any form of social media but I'm so happy I now know how to fix the dryness instantly. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this is anyone with the same problem! (The micellar water in the picture is the brand I use, however any brand should work as they're practically all the same!)
