My mascara dried out. I hadn't / haven't had one in a long time so I bought this.

person1: This is your house?

person2: Yes. We had/have to make do

Is it right?

Also,

She did mine and Alice's hair.

Is it also correct?

Thanks.

My mascara dried out. I hadn't / haven't had one in a long time so I bought this.

It will depend on the tense you are talking in, present tense, or referring to the past (past tense).

Past tense: My mascara dried out. I hadn't had one in a long time so I bought this.
Present tense: My mascara dried out. I haven't had one in a long time so I bought this.

person1: This is your house?
person2: Yes. We had/have to make do

Again, it will depend on the tense.

past tense: person2: Yes. We had to make do [when we bought/rented it]

present tense: person2: Yes. We have to make do [we can't afford anywhere else at the moment]

The old rule was to put yourself last in the sentence:

She did Alice's and my hair.

Even if you want to speak informally (as many young people might), the correct word is "my":

She did my, and Alice's, hair

Or:

She did my hair, and Alice's [too].
