Hi,

I think you are more likely to hear 'Stop crying or your mascara will run'.

You have to cry pretty hard to get your lipstick to run!

Best wishes, Clive

[It/Your makeup] becomes liquid and flows down (on) her face. [I made an ellipsis there.

But, makeup =face. So, I can re_write:

It/Your face becomes liquid and flows down (on) her face. (1) is correct?

If not, why:

Your face will run. =your makeup will run. ?
