I've had this happen with my Smashbox liquid lips too. I add in a few drops of squalane oil to make the formula more liquidy again. I do worry that it'll mess with the formula a bit, but it's better to get some usage out of the product and let it expire faster than to just toss it out.

Thank you I appreciate your comment . Do you have any idea where can I find this oil?

Mine is just from The Ordinary, and I'm just trying to use it up. You could probably do the same with like rosehip oil or any other type of skincare oil. Just be careful not to add too much or the consistency really changes. If that happens, leave the lipstick alone for a while, and it'll dry out again eventually.

Thank you so much 😊

You can add a drop of their primer oil too. Since the formula has primer oil in it, it will work nicely.

They're expired. Use your products up within the expiration date to avoid this problem.

You should try contacting the company. No lipstick should dry out that quickly. I have some lipsticks that I've had for 3+ years that are still perfectly fine.
