Lipsticks tend to become very soft if they are not kept properly. The wrong temperature and its inappropriate position can damage the quality of the product and it's more prone to melting and breaking.

However it is easier to prevent the problem than solve it. That's why if you see that your lipstick is about to melt, place it into the refrigerator and keep it there for a longer period.
