This is called candle tunneling.

When the flame begins to drop below the top As the flame burrows further down the middle, the wick will become more and more difficult to light and eventually be drowned by melting wax.

Candle tunnelling can happen to any candle regardless of the quality or price. Thankfully, there are a number of things you can do to help your scented candles burn evenly and efficiently, leaving as little residual wax as possible.

The first step make sure that the pool of melted wax reaches the edges of your candle before you put out your flame.

Hairdryer method: A very quick way of readjusting the memory ring is to blast the top of the candle with the high heat setting of a powerful hairdryer – just hold the airflow over the top of the candle until the top layer of wax has melted and smoothed.

The Foil Method: The foil method iincreases the heat trapped at the top of the candle, enabling the hard wax left up the sides to melt.

It’s an easy method, be mindful as the foil can become hot so mind you don’t burn yourself.

wrap a layer of aluminium foil around the top of the candle making a domed lid with a hole in the top. 

This allows the heat to stay in and melt the rim of hard wax on the sides. In approximately an (depending on the size of the candle) you should have a good even wax pool and a new candle!
